Research Question - Types and Purpose

Types and Purpose

The Research Question serves two purposes:

  1. it determines where and what kind of research the writer will be looking for and
  2. it identifies the specific objectives the study or paper will address.

Therefore, the writer must first identify the type of study (Qualitative, Quantitative, or Mixed) before the Research Question is developed.

Famous quotes containing the words types and/or purpose:

    ... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that
    the world can say against it; and therefore never flout at me for what I have said against it; for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
