Keep your research questions word-for-word identical throughout your dissertation. State your overall design clearly, whether quantitative, qualitative, or mixed. Then justify why that design answers your specific questions.
In your methodology, you're definitely going to restate your problem and your purpose. Now, I want to say restate. That means cut and copy. Exactly. I actually reviewed a document today where the research questions were different everywhere they were put in the document. And that gives questions to the committees. Whoa, you're not doing this. Or were you going that way? So you want to make sure that if you have a research question or a problem or a purpose that's been accepted by your committee, then everywhere you do it, you're using the same words every time. The next thing you want to do is describe your research design. Is it going to be quantitative? Is it going to be qualitative? And why is the approach you're taking the best approach to answer the questions you're asking in your dissertation?
