RESEARCH

OBJECTIVES
WHAT IS A RESEARCH OBJECTIVE?

• It is a clear, concise, declarative

statement that provides
direction and focus in a
research.
• This are points of finding
information from certain types
of research.
• It summarizes what is to be
achieved by the study.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

1. A well-worded objective
should be:
–Specific
–Measurable
–Attainable
–Realistic / Relevant
–Time-bound
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

2. It is phrased in good operational words such

as:
– To describe…..
– To compare……
– To distinguish……
– To identify……..
– To test…..
– To investigate……
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

3. It should clearly indicate the

purpose of the study by
identifying:
– where will it be done
– who are the subjects
– what will be done in the research
– What to expect from the study
 WHY DO WE NEED TO WRITE OBJECTIVES?

• It helps the researcher to focus on the study.

• It helps the researcher to identify the necessary
data to be collected for the research.
• Formulation of objectives organize the study in
clearly defined parts.
 TYPES OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
• GENERAL OBJECTIVE • SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
– Are broad goals to be – more narrow

terms. when and where of the
– A study usually has study.
one general objective – A study usually has a
minimum of 3
objectives.

The purpose of the study is to investigate
the role of Vitamin E in the production of
eggs in quails.
Specifically, the study will answer the following questions:
1.What are the properties of Vitamin E which makes it a
suitable food supplement to increase egg production in
quails?
2.What is the difference in the egg production between
quails with Vitamin E in their feeds versus quails without
Vitamin E in their feeds?
3.How does Vitamin E affects the egg laying production
among quails in the experimental set-up?
Generally, the study is aimed to investigate the
role of Vitamin E in the production of eggs in
quails.
Specifically, the study aimed to:
1.Identify the properties of Vitamin E which makes it a suitable
food supplement to increase egg production in quails.
2.Determine the differences in the egg production between
quails with Vitamin E in their feeds versus quails without
Vitamin E in their feeds.
3.Record the effects of Vitamin E in the egg laying production
among quails in the experimental set-up?
 GROWING SALTWATER RED ALGAE IN
A FRESHWATER ENVIRONMENT

Generally, the study aims to test the possibility of growing saltwater red algae
in a freshwater environment.

Specifically, it aims to:

1. identify the species of saltwater red algae that can survive in a
freshwater environment;
2. prepare a freshwater set-up with different levels of salinity for
growing red algae;
3. investigate the growth of the red algae in the freshwater set-up.
