Construct a Problem Statement

Construct a Problem Statement

Develop a problem statement into a complete paragraph of no more than 250-300 words and cite the relevant literature that supports this ongoing problem of inquiry:

1. Begin with the first sentence: “The problem is…” (my problem that I am discussing is lack of African American male educators in the field of education)
   1. Stated as a problem, not a purpose, observation, or assertion.
   2. This first sentence should clearly identify the problem to be addressed by the study.
2. Succinctly discuss the problem and provide evidence from past researchers who have noted its continued existence and cite the scholarly literature that has noted the problem.
   1. A lack of research alone is not inherently problematic. An inability to find research on your topic might indicate a need to broaden your search.
   2. It might be helpful to review the resources in the Northcentral University Library, including the Searching 101 video, or schedule a research consultation. Both resources are linked in your Books and Resources for this Week
3. Identify:
   1. Who is impacted by the problem (e.g., individuals, organizations, industries, or society) as described by past researchers in the scholarly literature?
   2. What is not known that should be known about it as described by past researchers in the scholarly literature?
   3. What could the potential negative consequences be if the problem is not addressed in this study as described by past researchers in the scholarly literature?

Length: 250-300 words for problem statement (problem statement must be within these parameters).

References: 4-6 scholarly resources
