Research Questions:

While formulating a research question, the following process is tenable:

Pose a question

Begin  with how,'what or why

Question form

 How can Computer Assisted Learning (CAI,) foster better student learning?

 Relationship form

 What psycho-social factors relate to cognitive development of researchers?

 Comparison

 What is the comparative effect of inductive and deductive methods of teaching on the achievement of 8Ih grade researchers in mathematics?

Suggestions for Formulating Research Questions

Research questions must explain the relationship among variables.

Research questions should not be vague

Specific problem to be solved must be indicated

Research questions should be researchable and feasible.

It must not involve any philosophcal issue

The following few examples will illustrate all the above characteristics of research question.

 How does home work influence the problem solving behaviour of children What is the effect of cooperative and competitive learning on the cognitive development of children?

 What is the relationship between the learning styles and learning types of gifted and creative children studying at secondary level?

 Is there any relationship between child rearing practices and cognitive development of children?

 What is the relationship between the learning styles and learning types of gifted and creative children studying at secondary level?

 How the communication network influences the academic achievement of primary school children with regard to their intelligence and personality type?

Such activities are usually performed towards problem solving. In strict term a research activity can be distinguished from non research activity on the b...

Research design

  Research design Research design is a planning of detailed outline of whole research work containing steps and process to be followed in the research which include how data is to be collected, what instruments will be employed, how the instruments will be used and the intended means for analyzing data collected. Research design provides a direction to researcher so that he can precede the research work in a planned and systematic manner. According to nature :   Research Design is understood as a planning as to the method and technology to be used in research. According to distinct nature, object and purpose of every research their design may vary from one to another. It is a mandatory step to be designed properly in order to undergo any research work.   Research design has linkages with research problem , objectives of research and purposes thereof. Researcher must have a clear picture about research problem, objective and purpose so that he can plan an appropriate ...
