Questions and Answers

What is the goal of a research inquiry?

A research inquiry aims to gain a deeper understanding of a specific topic through systematic investigation.

What does a research gap refer to?

A research gap identifies a specific area where existing research is insufficient or lacking.

What is the purpose of a theoretical framework in research?

A theoretical framework provides a foundation for the study by outlining key concepts, theories, and principles relevant to the research topic.

What is the relationship between a concept and a conceptual framework ?

<p>A concept is a general idea or notion, while a conceptual framework is a structured representation of the concepts and their relationships within a specific research study.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is a null hypothesis?

<p>A null hypothesis asserts that there is no relationship between the independent and dependent variables, or that any observed differences are due to chance.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Flashcards

Introduction (Chapter 1)

Answers the question "What do you intend to do and why?" It provides a brief overview of your research topic, including the research gap and objectives.

Researchable question

A question that can be explored and answered through research, often involving a relationship between variables.

Non-researchable question

A question that cannot be answered through research, usually a simple yes or no question.

Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework provides the foundation for your research by stating the relationships between variables, drawing on established theories.
