Research key concepts

A research question is an answerable inquiry into a specific concern or issue. It is the initial step in a research project. The 'initial step' means after you have an idea of what you want to study, the research question is the first active step in the research project.

It is a clear, focused, concise, complex, arguable question around which you center your research. Its aims are to guide and center our researches. Te research question ought to focus on the argument clearly by showing various multiple sources. When we concentrate on a specific assignment, the research question needs to be something that we really care about. In other words, "all-about" paper and questions should be avoided. The answer to this question will be thesis statement or te main argument of your paper

A research question is the fundamental core of a research project, study, or review of literature. It focuses the study, determines the methodology, and guides all stages of inquiry, analysis, and reporting.

• _ a question
• _ something that is not fully understand
• _ something that has been deliberately chosen as the subject of inquiry.

It also includes sub-questions that need a series of answers which leads to the main answer to the main research question.

Example:

Research question: Can Vietnamese secondary students benefit from having a ESL/EFL curriculum incorporating English Language Arts (ELA) of US's K-12 education?

SUB-QUESTIONS:

• Why english literature is a common/popular major of US/UK/developed-nation students?
• Why Vietnamese lack interest/skill of reading books and literature?
• Do Vietnamese students need a kind of English-Lit/ internationalised book (as a reference/ textbook)?
• How to make this kind of lesson not boring?
• How much effort to creat such reference/ textbooks?
• One sample of this kind of English lesson?
• What teaching methods should be used?

The answer to your research question should be your thesis statement. Keep in mind that you will most likely continue to refine your thesis statement as you conduct and write about your research. A good research question, however, puts you well on your way to writing a strong research paper
