A research has to have a goal. To define the scope of the research, the
researcher states a General Objective followed by a set of Specific
Objectives. The General Objective must be closely related to the research
problem. It describes what will be investigated in the research or what the
researcher hopes to achieve in the study. It is broad yet simple. It is welldefined and easy to comprehend.
Specific Objectives or sub-objectives are more detailed elements of the
General Objective. Each specific objective is aligned with the General
Objective, and serves as a guide to maintain focus on the topic at hand. It helps
the researcher avoid either unnecessarily collecting irrelevant data or
gathering insufficient data. At the conclusion of the investigation all of these
objectives must be addressed.
Objectives start with infinitive phrases, such as the following:
“To prove…”
“To describe…”
“To compare…,” etc.
Examples:
General Objective: To determine if, for junior high school students, there
is a correlation between eating breakfast and having better grades in school.
Specific Objectives:
1. To describe the characteristics of the study population in general, and
characteristics of group A (students who eat breakfast), and group B
(those who do not eat breakfast) according to:
a. Number (frequency and percentage)
b. Gender distribution
c. Age distribution
d. Sibling rank
e. Distance of home from school (< 5 km as near; > 5 km as far)
2. To determine and compare the means of grades in the two groups.
3. To find out if there is a significant difference in their means.
