RESEARCH QUESTION

 A research question is an
inquiry that the research
attempts to answer. It is the
heart of the systematic
investigation.
 Used to analyze and
investigate a topic.
 A properly written
question will be clear and
concise. It should contain
the topic being studied, the
variables, and the
population.
THREE MAIN TYPES OF
QUESTIONS:
1. Causal Questions –
Compares two or more
phenomena and determines
if a relationship exists. Often
called relationship research
questions.
2.Descriptive Questions –
Seek to describe a
phenomena and often study
“how much”, “how often”, or
“what is the change”
3.Comparative Questions –
Aim to examine the
difference between two or
more groups in relation to
 one or more variables. The
questions often begin with
“What is the difference in...”

A RESEARCH QUESTION IS:

1. Clear- It provides enough
detail that the audience
understands its purpose
without any additional
explanation.
2.Focused- It is so narrow
that it can be answered in
the time allowed by the
writing task.
3.Succinct- It is written in the
shortest possible words.
4.Complex- It is not possible
to answer it with a "yes" or
"no", but requires analysis
and synthesis of ideas
before somebody can create
a solution.
5.Argumental- Its potential
answers are open for debate
rather than accepted facts.
