Purpose





1. To describe the intent of the study
2. To ground it in a specific qualitative genre
3. To discuss the central concept or idea
4. To provide a general definition of that

Significance
Respond to the following questions:
 1. Who has an interest in this domain of
inquiry?
 2. How will this new research add to theory,

Overview Questions and Subquestions
Avoid questions:
 1. appeal yes or no answers
 2. imply cause and effect
 3. suggest measurement
 4. influence, impact, or amount (how, how
much, )
Overview Questions and Subquestions
Required questions:
 1. be nondirectional
 2. develop as the project unfolds
 3. open-ended questions to foster
