Description

A Mixed-Method Study of Socioeconomic factors that influence Post-Secondary plans of Urban African Americans High School Students:

Part 1

For this assignment, create a problem statement. Your problem must come from a critical issue that must be addressed, otherwise negative consequences will occur or continue. In most cases, scholarly citations within the past 5 years are required to support the problem you will investigate.

Articulate a concise problem statement. Include appropriate published or relevant primary sources to document the existence of a problem worthy of doctoral level research. Follow these steps:

  1. Present the general issue grounded in the research literature that leads to the need for the study.
  2. Identify the specific problem you wish to address. The documented problem may be a practical problem or issue in the profession or study context without an acceptable solution.
  3. In defining the problem, a clear discrepancy must be drawn between what exists currently and what is desired. Although an applied study design does not necessarily require generalizability beyond the study site, worthy problems must be relevant and documented beyond any particular study site.
  4. To identify and articulate a problem, consider the potential negative consequences to the field or stakeholders if the proposed research is never conducted.

Length: Approximately 1 page, not including title and reference pages- references no older than 5 years old.

Part 2:

Your assignment is to create a purpose of the study by indicating the intent, goal, and rationale for researching the problem addressed.

A Quantitative Case Study of Socioeconomic factors that influence Post-Secondary plans of
Urban African Americans High School Students:
Problem Statement
Although both the government and civilians in society have been making significant efforts
towards achieving equity and equality regarding the access to education for all Americans,
statistics have increasingly shown a massive difference in postsecondary enrolment (Bryan,
Farmer-Hinton, Rawls & Woods, 2017). A report by the National Student Clearinghouse
Research centre done in 2017 revealed that racial and ethnic lines were significant determinants
of college completion, with the rate of white and Asian students earning over 20% higher
credentials than their Hispanic and black counterparts (Berg, 2016). This report echoed the
previous ones that had stated that the rate of white and Asian students’ enrolment into postsecondary institutions far overwhelms that of urban African Ameri...
