Answered by Examlex AI CopilotPurpose statements and research questions serve different functions in qualitative and quantitative studies.
In qualitative studies, the purpose statement outlines the overall goal or intention of the research. It provides a broad overview of what the researcher aims to achieve and the significance of the study. It often includes the context of the research, the participants, and the researcher's perspective. On the other hand, research questions in qualitative studies are specific inquiries that guide the research process. They are often open-ended and exploratory, aiming to understand the experiences, perspectives, and behaviors of the participants.
In quantitative studies, the purpose statement also outlines the overall goal of the research, but it is more focused on the specific objectives and outcomes of the study. It often includes the variables being studied, the research design, and the expected results. Research questions in quantitative studies are specific and measurable inquiries that guide the data collection and analysis. They are often used to test hypotheses and determine the relationships between variables.
Overall, purpose statements provide a broad overview of the research goals and significance, while research questions guide the specific inquiries and focus of the study in both qualitative and quantitative research.
Descriptive questions, predictive questions, and causal questions are all used in quantitative research.
