@@DegreeDoctor I just did! I also binge watched a ton of your videos which has given me so much confidence to finish my Master’s thesis in the next week.
Great question, Patty! Research questions, aims, and objectives all play different but connected roles in your dissertation. Your aims outline what you hope to achieve with your research, while your objectives break down the specific steps you’ll take to achieve those aims. Research questions are the specific queries you’re investigating, and they should align closely with your aims and objectives. So yes, having all three is important-they help guide your research process and ensure everything is focused and coherent. If you need more detail, feel free to ask!
@@DegreeDoctor Thank you Dr Yardley. Do you have a video on Research Questions? I'm doing the introduction, what will come first please? With your answer above i'm thinking aims, objectives, and then research questions, though instinctively i've place the boarder Research Questions first? I have as an aim...to explore and construct an explanation of ..... and objectives to understand processes, impacts etc. Thank you
You’re very welcome, Patty! I don’t have a specific video on research questions at the moment, but I’m glad to help here. In your introduction, it’s often helpful to start with your aims-this sets the stage for what your research is trying to achieve. Then, you can outline your objectives, which explain the steps you’ll take to reach that aim. Finally, your research questions can follow, as they flow naturally from your aims and objectives, showing exactly what you’ll be investigating. Yes - starting with the broader questions, then honing in to become more specific is a very sensible strategy. If you need any more guidance, feel free to ask. You’re doing great!
You are literally saving my academic life. I cannot even thank you enough, but thank you so much!

How do Research Questions fit with Aims and Objectives? Do we need to have all three?
