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.
Research paper: An Idea
This document provides information and guidance about conducting research and writing research papers. It discusses the key steps in the research process, including defining the problem, reviewing literature, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. It also covers important aspects of writing research papers such as choosing a topic, deciding on a journal to submit to, and attributes of a good manuscript such as being concise, technically correct, and recognizing others' contributions. The overall message is that writing is a critical part of the scientific process and that even novel research results will have limited impact if not effectively communicated through writing.
Developing the Research Question
The document discusses developing a clear and focused research question as the first step of the research process, providing examples of broad research topics and suggesting ways to refine topics into questions. It also outlines brainstorming potential research questions, determining needed information to answer the question, and introducing the question in the thesis statement.
CJP Writing Workshop: March 6 2014
This document summarizes a workshop on converting research papers to manuscripts for publication. The workshop covered why researchers should publish their work, common fears about the publication process, and provided guidelines and exercises to help attendees structure their manuscripts. Attendees were asked to introduce their research and publication goals. The presenter emphasized evaluating literature reviews, methodology rigor, and ensuring work contributes new knowledge to the field. Six macro steps were outlined for manuscript structure: selecting a journal, reviewing results, formulating questions/hypotheses, reviewing literature, aligning all sections, and developing discussion/conclusion. Next steps of copy-editing and proofreading were also noted.

Developing A Research Question
The document provides guidance on developing a strong research question for a social studies project. It explains that a good research question addresses an issue or problem that cannot be answered by a single fact or source. Students are instructed to consider a broad topic, narrow it to a specific aspect, and write 3-4 open-ended questions to help select the best research question. Examples of potential research topics related to the Progressive Era are given to help students generate their own questions.
Statement of the Problem/Topic Statement in Research
This presentation will share knowledge about Topic Statement or Statement of the Problem in an educational research.
The Research Problem Statement
The research problem statement is one of the first steps in developing a Doctoral Thesis proposal. It is the starting point of the research process. Identifiable aspects of a research problem include something is broken, it has a cause and effect relationship, and there are initial observations and evidence mentioned. Developing a research problem statement from an identified problem isn’t easy but is an essential step in the thesis proposal process. To assist in the what and how, the Doctorate Hub team has been putting together this slideshow.

RESEARCH TOPIC
The document provides guidance on selecting a research topic and formulating a hypothesis. It advises that topic selection is an early and critical stage that should be chosen freely by the researcher, though supervisors can provide broad guidance. A good research topic addresses unanswered questions and forms a statement of inquiry or hypothesis. Developing a well-defined problem and formulation are key to selecting an appropriate research topic.
Method and fieldwork in a hermeneutical perspective
This document discusses the argumentative nature of science and the role of interpretation in scientific work. The three main points are:
1) Science is a process of argumentation aimed at convincing others using evidence. Scientific arguments take a position and use empirical data to support it.
2) Scientific evidence depends on interpretation and the research goals or theories it aims to support. Evidence alone is meaningless without interpretation.
3) Fieldwork is a method used to gather empirical evidence but requires flexibility and adjustment based on what is found, as human subjects are unpredictable. Interpretation and evidence mutually shape each other in scientific work.
Chap3_ business reaserch
This document discusses research problems and problem statements. It defines a research problem as a situation that needs a solution where possible solutions exist. A problem statement describes an issue that needs to be addressed and provides context for a research study. The document outlines the key elements of a research problem, including developing a research question, hypotheses, specific aims, and research design. It also discusses the scientific method, types of research, qualitative vs. quantitative approaches, and the distinctions between research and evaluation.
AS Social Surveys
This document discusses key aspects of conducting social surveys. It explains that surveys can take the form of written questionnaires or interviews. Questions can be open-ended, allowing free responses, or closed-ended with limited answers. Researchers must choose a topic suitable for a survey and form a clear aim or hypothesis to give their study focus. Concepts being studied, like social class, must be operationalized by defining observable indicators that can be measured. Pilot studies test survey questions to identify and address any issues before full data collection. Researchers aim to sample populations that allow findings to generalize to the overall group being examined.
Research questions
A research question guides research by stating the main concepts and being neutral, debatable, and clear. It should not be answered simply with yes or no. Sample questions include the effect of online shopping on retail business and how smoking bans affect public health. Good research questions are specific and focused, unlike questions that are too broad or vague. Narrowing a question's scope by location and subjects, like how melting glacial ice affects penguins, makes for clearer, more answerable research questions.
The steps in the process of research
The document discusses identifying a research problem in qualitative research. It notes that researchers begin by identifying a research problem to address. Aspects of identifying a problem include determining what specific controversy needs to be addressed, why it is important, and how the study will add to existing knowledge. Research problems guide educational studies and can be found in issues like disruptive students, campus violence, or lack of parental involvement. The statement of the problem section includes the topic, research problem, justification of importance based on past research and practice, and who will benefit from studying the problem. Justifying a problem means presenting reasons for its importance through literature, workplace experiences, personal experiences, and suggestions of other researchers.
Six steps to help you select your research topic
Are you one of the rare souls interested in research? Do you like the idea of planning an entire study and then sharing your findings with the whole world? Well, if you are a researcher, then you must know that planning and executing a study is not child’s play.
And the first and most time-consuming step of conducting research is selecting a research topic. Without a research question to answer, there will be no research, but finding a research question that you and a larger population would want an answer to is by far the most taxing task a researcher might come across.
Research Issues and Concerns
This document outlines issues related to research and class room research. It discusses identifying an appropriate research topic and guide. Finance is a major issue, including costs of experiments, materials, and attending conferences. Identifying the right research topic depends on the guide's specialization and interests of other students. The relationship between guides and students can impact research. Research scholars must develop skills like acquiring knowledge, problem solving, and being lifelong learners with self-discipline. Classroom research examines best practices for teaching-learning processes and evaluating students based on Bloom's taxonomy. Research outcomes from books discuss findings on the 10,000 hours rule for expertise and characteristics of cheating teachers.
Problem (how to form good research question)
The document discusses how to form a good research question. It outlines the importance of having a well-defined research question and lists characteristics of effective questions such as being answerable, specific, and building on previous research. The document also provides guidance on developing a research question by selecting a topic and issue and determining if a topic can be researched. It describes how to transform a research question into testable hypotheses and common mistakes to avoid such as questions being too broad, subjective, controversial, familiar, or technical.
Research Problem
There are standards in a research problem. Researchers must be mindful on how they construct their problem statement.
Overview on writing research problem,introduction & background of the study
The document discusses key aspects of developing a research problem, including defining a clear research question, ensuring the problem is significant and can be investigated, and stating the problem concisely. It also provides examples of potential research problems and asks the reader to identify whether each problem is viable. The document emphasizes that a good introduction to a research paper should provide the rationale, purpose, and research question. It also discusses essential parts of a school-based research paper such as the abstract, introduction, and background.
Research Problem in ELT
This document discusses defining research questions and the key components of developing good research questions. It begins by explaining that well-crafted research questions guide systematic research planning and enable the design of studies that can effectively answer the questions. There are three main types of research questions: descriptive questions that seek to describe phenomena, relationship questions that investigate associations between variables, and difference questions that make comparisons between groups. The document emphasizes that good research questions should be clearly linked to research goals, guide appropriate data collection and analysis, and be feasible, interesting, novel, relevant and ethical. It provides examples of each type of research question and discusses problem distillation and writing a clear problem statement.
B & B Ch 3_5.24.10
- Qualitative researchers collect data by going into the field where subjects conduct their normal activities, building trust without harming subjects, and participating minimally while learning subjects' perspectives.
- Researchers must gain access and permission, establish rapport, be honest about their study and intentions, and not make promises they cannot keep.
- Collecting data involves various techniques like observations, interviews, focus groups, and using tools like audio recorders with permission from subjects. Managing relationships, biases, and exiting the field responsibly are important considerations for qualitative researchers.
Qualititaive research
This document provides an overview of critical appraisal of qualitative research. It discusses what characterizes qualitative research, including that it aims to provide an in-depth understanding of human experiences through inductive and contextual methods. Key aspects of rigor in qualitative research are described, such as using triangulation, reflexivity, multiple coding, and respondent validation. Checklists for critically appraising qualitative research focus on questions like whether the sample and data collection were appropriate, if data analysis was rigorous, and if ethical issues were adequately addressed. The importance of assessing relevance and coherence is also highlighted for evaluating qualitative studies.
Qualitative Research
This document provides an overview of qualitative research methods. It defines qualitative research as seeking to understand social phenomena by examining people's experiences, opinions, and attitudes.

The key parts of a research article are described, including the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. The introduction reviews previous literature and presents hypotheses. The methods section describes operationalized measures and procedures. The results report statistical findings, and the discussion interprets results in relation to hypotheses and literature. The document also provides guidance on effectively reading journal articles by skimming for relevance and deeply reading important sections.
Critical appraisal-MP-2023.pptx
The document provides guidance on critically appraising research articles. It defines critical appraisal as carefully analyzing research methodology to assess validity, results, and relevance. The process examines bias and evaluates internal/external validity. Critical appraisal is important for literature reviews, program evaluation, policymaking, and more. It involves reading the abstract, introduction, methodology, results, and discussion sections to evaluate study design, measures, sample size, analysis, conclusions, and comparison to prior research. The example shows how to appraise a cohort study by assessing exposure and outcome definitions, follow up time, measurement methods, attrition, confounding, results, and applicability.

Introduction to Reflective Practice
Reflective practice is an active process that enables healthcare professionals to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences. It involves examining one's own practice, opening it up to scrutiny from others, and studying texts from the wider field. Reflective practice allows professionals to learn through reflection, imitation, and experience. It is a process of focusing closer and closer on one's work through description of experiences, evaluation of what went well and what did not, and analysis to understand broader issues and make sense of situations in order to continually improve practice.

The document provides examples and advice for writing strong titles, defining concepts and limits, conducting a literature review, demonstrating significance, and using appropriate methodology. It concludes with sample criteria for evaluating proposals, such as clearly identifying the problem, using a suitable approach, and ensuring feasibility.
Questionnaires1
This document discusses self-report methods used by psychologists to collect data, specifically questionnaires. It notes that questionnaires use closed and open questions to gather information on behaviors, attitudes, beliefs and feelings. Closed questions offer limited answers like yes/no or scales, and convert responses into quantitative data. Open questions allow respondents to write freely and provide qualitative data. The document outlines strengths like large samples, but also limitations like potential bias if respondents are untruthful or don't complete the questionnaire.
Intro to Critical Thinking
This document discusses critical thinking skills needed for psychological research. It explains that critical thinking involves evaluating evidence from research studies by examining the methodology, relating it to major debates, considering applications to society, and connecting it to other studies and levels of analysis in psychology. Specifically, critical analysis of a study involves assessing the strengths and limitations of its methods, ethics, reliability, and validity.
Basics of reading clinical papers
This document provides an overview of how to read clinical papers and summarizes their typical structure and components. It explains that clinical papers are used by medical representatives to present evidence for product claims and understand what is being discussed. The key parts of clinical papers are typically the title, authors, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. The document provides details on each of these sections and advises the reader to critically analyze the research questions, study design, results and conclusions. It emphasizes comparing the reported data to the authors' analysis and relating the findings to prior research.
