Assignment 6: Develop a Problem Statement
Instructions
Background
The problem statement is succinct and stems from the identified gap in the literature. It is used to describe what is now known about the problem and what needs to be known.
Instructions
Based on synthesis of the literature, the narrative review completed in week 5, and the additional three journal articles, this week you need to identify a gap in the literature that you intend to fill in your dissertation research.
Once this is identified, develop a problem statement designed to fill this gap. The problem statement should begin with “The problem to be addressed in this study is…” and flow from the introduction. The problem should not exceed 250-300 words or exceed two to three paragraphs. Scholarly writing is both precise and concise! Be sure to apply prior feedback.
Length: This assignment must be 10-15 pages (excluding the title and reference page).
References: Include minimum of 20 peer reviewed journal articles.
