By the end of this practice cluster you will have designed and carried out a small research project focused on sustainable work practices. Choose a topic from sustainable practices in service operations. your research project will be a systematic investigation undertaken to discover relevant facts for information. The methodology used will be action research using surveys, questionnaires or other methods of data collection.

the aim of the research may include:
1. to identify particular needs or a need of a target group in order to improve a situation.
2. to discover and describe what is happening in a particular situation.
3. to explore attitudes about a particular issues or concern with children, families and staff

When it says write a clear research statement, question that summarises the main aim of the research. What does this mean. I dont understand what my response should be to that.

Thank you for your reply. Does my answer seem o.k. to you
The aim of my research will be to establish the importance of striving towards a more sustainable practice within the work environment thus therefore improving the ability to meet standard 3.3 of the national quality standards.
