¶ … generated from the problem statement. Like the problem statement, research questions should be stated clearly, refer to the relationship between two or more variables, and be researchable (Tuckman, 1999). For instance, suppose you are interested in examining predictors of success for doctoral students. As you begin your research, you find that there is a gap in the literature. This is an opportunity for a researchable problem. If there is no research in this area, your research questions might be more exploratory and less defined (e.g., What are the predictors of success for online doctoral students?). If there are a few studies that address predictors of success for online students, your research questions might be more defined, depending on what previous research indicates. If in previous research, the relationship between GRE scores and the success of doctoral students is already established, your research question should focus on another predictor that has not been studied (e.g., What is the...

As Epstein suggested earlier, there seems to be no downside to this process. James Colliver (2000) would disagree. He dismisses the assertions that favor the efficacy of PBL; his misgivings parallel Hmelo-Smith's earlier remarks. For instance, Colliver contends that the popularity of PBL is predicated on a kind of mass enthusiasm rather than empirically based scientific evidence (p.259). Colliver asserts that PBL has not proven valid and lacks confirmation as successful
STEP 8 - INTERVENTION IMPLEMENTATION PHASING The initial implementation of the automated calling system will require a significant amount of data entry concerning patient contact data; however, this data can be integrated in digital form from existing healthcare information management system as discussed further below.

worldview and adjustments to the individual problem statement. I have been astonished to discover that many more college students have problems with financial literacy than I originally thought existent.
