Research objectives

A research objective addresses the purpose of the investigation and part of knowledge to be
generated out of one’s investigation. Looking at the objectives of the research, first can anticipate
what is to be achieved by the study. A research objective show the population of interest, the
independent variable, and the dependent variable.
We can enumerate three major reasons for formulating the objectives of the research;
▪ Focus the study on narrowing it down to essentials;
▪ Avoid collection of data that are not strictly importance for understanding and solving the
problem in hand;
▪ Organize the study in clearly defined components or phases.

▪ Writing your research objectives clearly helps to:

▪ • Define the focus of your study


▪ • Clearly identify variables to be measured
▪ • Shows the various steps to be involved
▪ • Establish the limits of the study
▪ • Escape collection of any data that is not strictly necessary.

While formulating the research objectives, we should keep in mind that the results would be
compared to the objectives when the study is evaluated.
If the objectives have not been formulated definitely, the study cannot be evaluated as desired. It
is because of this reason; we should take care that the objectives fulfill some criteria;
▪ They are realistic to fit the social environment.
▪ They cover the different aspects of the problem.
▪ They consider the contributing factors in a coherent way and in a logical sequence.
▪ They consider ethical issues if any.
▪ They are phrased in operational terms.
Objectives should be closely related to the statement of the research problem, giving the sponsor-
specific, concrete and achievable aim.
It is best to state the objectives of a study in general terms first and then to move down to
specific terms.
From this point of view, objectives are of two types: general and specific. We explaning on these
two concepts below, along with two more objectives, viz. immediate objective and ultimate
objective.
Types of Research Objectives
1. General Objective.
2. Specific Objectives.
3. Immediate Objectives.
4. Ultimate Objective.
