Problem: It is perhaps likely that you fall into the trap of asking research questions that are too broad or too difficult that they can generate way too much data or no data at all. Detail your vision of or your future research project in terms of its philosophy, theory, and contribution. Phrase your approach in the form of one or more research questions.
Hints:
1. What qualitative territory underpins your research? Your qualitative territory will help generate ideas for your research question.
2. Which theoretical influences connect to your research question the most? Relating to an appropriate theory can help create coherency and efficiency in your research.
3. How does the research question connect to your participants and/or site of interest? When you design a research question before collecting data, it guides your subsequent selection of a particular site or potential participants.
4. What impact do you hope your research to make? Impactful research has the potential to improve the world we live in. It can enrich our culture, develop our laws, inform our policies, improve our health, invent new technology, and boost our quality of life.
