This document provides guidance on formulating research questions for quantitative research studies. It defines key terms like research problem and discusses the characteristics of good research questions, such as being feasible, clear, significant, and ethical. It also describes different types of research questions for descriptive, correlational, ex post facto, and quasi-experimental research designs. The document emphasizes that research questions should clarify and specify the research problem and guide the methodology. Overall, it aims to help readers develop well-constructed research questions for their quantitative studies.

1.the range of research topics in the area of inquiry 2.the value of research in the area of interest 3.the specificity and feasibility of the problem posed Performance Standard The learner should be able to formulate clearly the statement of research problem. Most Essential Learning Competencies At the end of the lesson, you should be able to: 1. State research questions. (CS_RS12-Id-e-4) Research Questions That’s a Good Question Directions: Here are some samples of research questions. Rank them on a scale of 1 to 10 (1= lowest, 10 = highest) based on their feasibility and clarity as a quantitative research question. Then, provide a brief explanation of your rating. That’s a Good Question Remember This! A research problem is simple as a problem you would like to research. Quantitative Research Problem deals more with the precision and specificity of the problem. Furthermore, the quantitative research problem describes trends and patterns of a phenomenon. Remember This! The research questions help clarify and specify the research problem. They are also considered as sub-problems of your research problem and are informative in nature. They specify the method of collecting and analyzing data, and the type of data to be collected when exploring a quantitative research problem. Characteristics of Good Research Questions Feasible. Consider the amount of time, energy, money, respondents, and even your current situation as a student-researcher. Characteristics of Good Research Questions “How do parents feel about the blended learning modality for elementary learners?” “How would giving each learner their own laptop to be used in this blended learning modality affect their performance tasks?” Characteristics of Good Research Questions Clear. The clarity of how the questions are stated lead to agreement of meaning of the readers of your study. Characteristics of Good Research Questions Significant. Ask if your research questions are relevant or important to ask. Will answering these questions provide an additional contribution to address the given research problem? Characteristics of Good Research Questions Ethical. Always consider the welfare of people, animals or whosoever are involved in your study. Look into ways of answering the research questions without inflicting physical and psychological harm to persons involved. Formulating Research Questions Research questions can be generally classified into two: general and specific. The general question of the study is derived from the research problem while the specific questions are anchored on the general research problem. Formulating Research Questions This study aims to determine the relationship between the types of learning delivery mode and students’ learning styles. Furthermore, it seeks to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the different learning delivery modes of the school? (2) What are the various learning styles of the students? (3) Is there a significant relationship between the different learning delivery modes of the school and the learning styles of its students? Research Questions for Descriptive Research Focus on observing, describing, and reporting factors or aspects of the research problem. Phrases such as how often/frequently, how many/much, what is/are, to what extent/degree, and the likes are used in these questions. Research Questions for Descriptive Research For example, you study the use of social media among Senior High School Students, you can ask the following questions: What are the various social media platforms used by Senior High Students? How many hours students spend on social media per day? Research Questions for Correlational Research Aim to determine the relationships among two or more variables in your research problem. Correlational research questions usually begin with the phrases “Is there a significant relationship...” or “What is the relationship between/among...”. Research Questions for Correlational Research In the study of use of social media and level of digital literacy of students following questions can be asked: • What is the relationship between the length of hours spent on social media and level of digital literacy of students? • Is there a significant relationship between the type of social media used and the level digital literacy of students? Research Questions for Ex Post Facto Research Attempt to identify the causes of the phenomenon in the context of your research problem. It is also assumed that no control or manipulation of variable has been done in order to cause the effect. It is also understood that the cause of the problem already exists before you conducted your study. Research Questions for Ex Post Facto Research For example, ex post facto study on family background and digital literacy of students, the following questions can be asked: Is there a difference in the literacy level of students between their cultural and educational family background? Research Questions for Quasi-Experimental Research Suggest that answers to these questions are brought about by manipulation or control of a certain variable during the conduct of the study. These questions provide explanation to the causal relationship of variables. Research Questions for Quasi-Experimental Research The following research questions can be asked on studies on elementary student’s remedial sessions and academic performance of students: Is there a significant difference in the posttest scores of the control group and experimental group? The Very Good Questions Directions: Using the same examples in your Activity 1, rank them on the scale of 1 to 10 (1= lowest, 10 = highest) based on the given parameters in writing a good research question. If you find that the questions are not so good, then rewrite the questions on the last column of the table. If you think it is already good, then write your justification as well. The Very Good Questions Write the Questions Directions: Write one general research question and two specific research questions for the given research problem below. 1. The Relationship between Media Exposure and Health Anxiety Write the Questions 2. Organization’s Leadership Practices and Employee’s Job Satisfaction 3. Effects of Parenting Style and Children Study Habits What I Can Do Directions: Perform the following task. Referring to your background of the study and research problem, list your research questions. When formulating these questions, consider the design of your quantitative research. Assignment Directions: Based on the comments and suggestions on the Research Questions given by your research teacher, revise it and send the revised copy in document format to your teacher.
