 Developing the Research Problem and Question Developing the research question can be one of the most challenging parts of the whole process. A well-defined research question should be narrow in scope and should be a question to which the answer is not already known through other published material. After all, if the answer is already known, there is no need to create a research study to answer that same question again. This assignment focuses on developing your research problem, the purpose statement, and research question. First, discuss your research problem. Be sure to support your points with scholarly material. For example, do not simply assert that health and wellness is a problem in the fire service. Demonstrate this by supporting your point with scholarly material. Include a few solid paragraphs of description. Next, include the purpose statement. This should be a sentence that clearly tells the reader what you intend to accomplish by creating the study. Finally, create a research question you would like to investigate for your project. Remember that the question needs to be unique. One way to accomplish this is to make the question specific to a particular department or jurisdiction. This activity should be at least one page in length. Be sure to summarize, paraphrase, and cite the information. Do not copy directly from the textbook or from any other source. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and entries in the reference section. All references and FIR 4308, Applications in Fire Research 2 citations used must be in APA style. Information about accessing the grading rubric for this assignment is provided below.
