Hi there,

I trust you are well.

Please may you kindly assist me with redesigning my problem statement and research objectives based on the below comments.

Topic: DETERMINANTS ATTRACTING STUDENTS TOWARDS STUDYING WITH AN ODEL INSTITUTION

Problem statement

Open distance electronic learning institutions are becoming increasingly popular as a way for students to earn a degree or certificate. However, there is a lack of research on the factors that attract students to these institutions. This study will investigate the determinants of students' attraction to ODeL institutions (Al-Dajani & Alsamydai, 2019).

Comment

• Provide a problem statement that is formulated clearly and understandably.
• The problem statement does not articulates the gap(s) to be filled.

Research Objectives

The objectives of this study are to:

4.1 Primary Objectives

• Identify the factors that attract students to ODeL institutions.

4.2 Secondary Objectives

• Determine the relative importance of these factors.
• Develop a model of student attraction to ODeL institutions

Comment

• The research objectives/questions are not specific
• What are 'these' factors, break the down here

Additional Information

The expected results of this study are that the following factors will be found to be important in attracting students to ODeL institutions:

• Flexibility
• Convenience
• Affordability
• Quality of instruction
• Support services

The study is also expected to find that a model can be developed to predict student attraction to ODeL institutions. This model can be used by ODeL institutions to improve their marketing and recruitment efforts.
