Refining the Problem Statement
In Week 1, you began your search for a problem statement, the first task in building a doctoral capstone. This is not a process that happens quickly; it can take many months. Typically, a student continues to refine the problem statement until the proposal is approved, well into the capstone process.
Though we often expect goals in life to occur in a linear sequence, this often does not occur and it does not occur in research, which is a cyclical process.
Consider that the process involves searching the literature for information about a preliminary problem, finding information, using that information to refine the problem, and then returning to a specific selection of the literature. While there is not a way to shorten the process, it can be a joy if you maintain passion for your topic.
Notes on Readings
Over many years as a student, you have likely spent much time reading. Reading for your capstone research, however, is a different type of reading. It is not like reading a newspaper or a novel. Single provides a model for interactive reading and note taking.
In the Butin reading, he provides guidance for reviewing literature that can help you in refining your problem statement. Butin offers very practical advice. Note in particular the hints section!
