Research question
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The research question is one of the first methodological steps the investigator has to take when undertaking a research. The research question must be accurately and clearly defined.
Choosing a research question is the central element of both quantitative and qualitative research and in some cases it may precede construction of the conceptual framework of study. In all cases, it makes the theoretical assumptions in the framework more explicit, most of all it indicates what the researcher wants to know most and first.
