The purpose of this chapter is to provide an understanding of how to write the assumptions in a dissertation study. There seems to be some confusion with novice researchers and doctoral students. This confusion over research assumptions has become an increasingly big problem for both experienced and novice researchers. It is deep-seated and has been a problem for doctoral students; the confusion is prevalent at alarming levels. Thus, this chapter tries to provide a clear understanding of what assumptions are and how to write them properly.
The objective of this chapter is twofold. First, it provides some clear definitions for the assumptions of a study. Last, it provides examples from journal articles and studies on how assumptions should be written. This chapter will provide some much-needed clarity to many researchers who are confused about assumptions in a study. Thus, this chapter contains information as well as examples to provide some understanding of the nature of assumptions and their implications on the research development and implementation processes. This chapter provides some valuable insight into assumptions.
