The aim of the research (EMG6T)

Before we start the research process, we need to make sure that we state the aim of the research clearly. Try to state this in a way that can be measured.

For example, “I want to find out what learners think about the school” is not a clear enough statement. “To find out learners' opinions about the condition of the school buildings and whether the facilities are adequate” is stated more clearly.
