RESEARCH QUESTIONS
If you ask the right questions, logically, you will get the right answers. Asking question is what we do when we want to
explore and curious about something. Ordinary questions are the questions that get immediate answers. But those questions
that have no immediate answer, needs careful analysis and empirically based decisions are qualified as research questions.
Research
questions inspire, push, and trigger well-informed answers and solutions that are practical, that is, good and beneficial to
individual and society at large.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the identification of inquiry and
stating the research problem.
CONTENT STANDARDS
The learners demonstrate understanding of t the value of research in the area of interest.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learner uses appropriate kinds of research in making decisions.
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES
The Learner states research question.
EXPECTED SKILLS
To do well in this module, you need to remember and do the following:
1. Read the instructions carefully before starting anything
2. Complete all the activities and worksheet given
3. Use dictionary and the like to find the meaning of the words that you do not understand.

1. Capable of being researched through data collection; not too abstract, or questions which require the application of
philosophy rather than of data
2. Relevant and useful, whether to policy, practice or the development of social theory
3. At least of some interest to the researcher
4. Clear, intelligible and unambiguous
5. Informed by and connected to existing research or theory, but with the potential to make an original contribution or to
fill a gap.
As researchers generate studies, the process, fundamentally, includes an initial idea or topic. The researcher will have
personal theories or hunches, which are then improved through scientific or systematic review of existing theory and research
(Marshall and Rossman, 1999). As the process goes on, the concepts start to be framed as more specific questions. The
researcher in this phase, ultimately become clearer about the intellectual puzzle (Mason, 2002), about what exactly it is they
want to describe and explain, and about the more particular questions they will need to address. You as a researcher needs to
keep in mind whether the research questions are clear enough, that is, intelligible, of value or interest and how they relate to
existing research.
It is common mistake in qualitative researches that the research questions are so embedded in the text that the
reader cannot find it. The best way to avoid this is to include at the beginning of your paper a subtitle called “Research
Questions” or “Aim of the Study”. An alternative is to present the question at the end of the Background or Introduction section
of your paper.
Research has no monopoly of format. This means that formatting varies from one publication to another. Readers
sometimes find themselves lost because research questions presented throughout the various sections of the article: one
question in the introduction, another in the methods and data section and a third in the discussion (Drisko 2005).
For the most parts of a paper, any method or technique of collecting, collating and analyzing data specified by the
research design depends largely on the research questions. The correct formulation of research questions assures not only
excellent collection, analysis, and presentation of data but a credible conclusion as well (Layder, 2013).
Research question serves as guideposts of your study. It will be answered empirically in your result and
discussion section. If your questions are not substantially formulated, your discussion and results are affected as well as
your conclusions and recommendations.
Research question specifically and scientifically narrows your study. You have to specify the general problem
into questions (most of the time 3 to 4 core questions). Specifying questions becomes scientific when it is organized to
so called sub-problems. Sub-problems allow you to dissect the exact aspects of the problem that your study has to
concentrate on.
The following examples showcase you the link among the following: research problem, research topic, research
question, and the formulation of one general question and specific questions in a research paper.
Example 1:
Research Problem: The need to have an alternative mode of education in this time of COVID 19 Pandemic.
Research Topic: Education sector in the midst of COVID 19 Pandemic
General Question: What is the adoptable alternative mode of education from one of the countries in Southeast Asia?
Specific Questions:

2. What are the factors influencing effective implementation of Virtual Education Delivery in Thailand?
3. How political economy is being applied to solve the current problem on education in Thailand?
4. How could a Virtual Education Delivery serve as a Model to be adapted in the Philippine educational system in this time
of Pandemic?
Example 2:
Research Problem: Mobile Legend Dependency.
Research Topic: Mobile Legend among Youth
General Question: What are the causes and effect of playing Mobile Legends to learners’ social and academic attitudes?
Specific Questions:
1. What are the reasons why students engage in playing mobile legends?
2. What are the ways by which students engage in playing mobile legends?
3. What are the effects of engaging in playing mobile legends in terms of social and academic attitudes?
4. What are the interventions that need to be maintained, formulated and implemented to respond on this issue?
