Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
educational research include: 1. Statement of the Problem/Identifying a problem or topic (Picciano, 2007; Picciano, 2004). This is the introduction to the research study. It should be direct and clear
(Picciano, 2004). It talks about the purpose of the study and why it is useful (Picciano, 2007; Picciano, 2004). The purpose of the study is typically stated in the last

School, 2004). In 2003, 78 percent of the students passed that same assessment test and in 2004, 84 percent passed the test (McLean Science/Technology Magnet Elementary School, 2004). The difference?
The TechMath project. Ethical standards for research begins at this first step. The researcher needs to ask himself if this an ethical question to ask? Is it objective? 4.
