Goldilocks Research Questions
•
2 likes•2,080 views
This document discusses the "Goldilocks Theory" for developing research questions. It identifies three types of research questions: those that are too little, too big, or just right. Questions that are too little are narrow and can be answered quickly, while those that are too big have too broad a scope. Well-developed research questions that are "just right" leave room for discovery and debate while focusing the research scope. The document provides examples to illustrate each type and offers strategies for refining questions to find the "just right" balance.

Developing Research Question
The document provides guidance on developing a research problem/question for an education research study. It discusses critics who argue education research uses inefficient and unscientific methods by relying too heavily on opinions and personal experience rather than objective evidence. The document then lists criteria for a good research problem, including that it sustains interest, is manageable in size, has a theoretical basis, and can make an original contribution. It also provides guidelines for writing a research question that implies a relationship between variables and for conducting a literature review to identify relevant past studies and gaps in the research. Finally, it instructs readers to work in groups to provide feedback on strengths and weaknesses of proposed research questions.
How to formulate a research question
This document outlines the process for formulating a research question. It defines what constitutes a research question and how it differs from a topic or hypothesis. It discusses sources that can inspire research questions, such as clinical experience, mentors, literature reviews, conferences, and previous research experience. The document also presents the FINER criteria for evaluating research questions - they should be Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, and Relevant. Common problems to avoid, such as questions that are too broad or narrow or unethical, are also covered. Finally, the next steps of conducting a literature review and refining the question and study design are outlined.
Research question
This document discusses research questions and their importance in guiding rigorous research. It defines what a research question is and explains that it focuses a study, determines the methodology, and guides all stages of inquiry. There are three main types of research questions: descriptive, comparative, and causal. Characteristics of good research questions are that they are feasible, clear, ethical, and significant. Rigorous research questions are focused on a specific research area and topic. They identify the right research paradigm and drive an appropriate research design. Non-rigorous questions are too broad, narrow, yes/no, or include presumptions. The choice of research question is important as the wrong question can waste time and effort.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Goldilocks Research Questions
- 1. The G ldilocks Theory For Research Questions
- 2. Issues: • Close-ended, requires a specific answer • Could be answered with one or two sources • Information required to answer may not exist Too Little
- 3. Example: How big was the readership of the Nancy Drew series when it was first published? Issues: • Close-ended, requires a specific answer • Could be answered with one or two sources • Information required to answer may not exist Too Little
- 4. Issues: • Close-ended, requires a specific answer • Could be answered with one or two sources • Information required to answer may not exist Strategies for Improvement: • Identify themes within the question (audience and gender) • Consider a broader application of these themes Too Little Example: How big was the readership of the Nancy Drew series when it was first published?
- 5. Too Big Issues: • The scope of the question is too broad for a 10-15 page paper • Might be difficult to identify specific keywords
- 6. Issues: • The scope of the question is too broad for a 10-15 page paper • Might be difficult to identify specific keywords Example: How has the portrayal of gender in children’s mystery novels changed over time? Too Big
- 7. Example: How has the portrayal of gender in children’s mystery novels changed over time? Strategies for Improvement: • Identify major terms and brainstorm smaller keywords • Do background research online • Brainstorm ways to anchor your question with a specific issue or text Too Big Issues: • The scope of the question is too broad for a 10-15 page paper • Might be difficult to identify specific keywords
- 8. Good Qualities: • Open-ended, leaves room for new discoveries • Leaves room for your close reading and ideas from outside sources • Makes unique connections, is debatable Just Right Example: In The Secret of the Old Clock (1959), how does the character of Nancy Drew embody or critique traditional roles for women in 1950s America? Considerations: • Getting to “just right” is a process • Might involve additional questions • Might evolve throughout your research process
