Q: What would be the guiding objectives of my topic?
My topic is ‘Determinants of community-led total sanitation (CLTS).’ I have several objectives that need to be redefined or checked. Kindly assist.
The guiding objective of a study is the general or overall reason you are studying the topic. In other words, it guides the entire study and all the efforts on it. In your case, it would have to be why you are studying the determinants of CLTS. A guiding objective is broken into smaller specific objectives, which are the several objectives you are referring to. These are specific aspects you will be studying and need to be expressed concisely. For more information, you may refer to this page. You typically arrive at the specific objectives after doing a detailed study of the existing literature on and around the topic. You need to explain the objectives in the Introduction section of the paper.
