Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of research questions can I generate?
- The tool generates three types of research questions: descriptive questions (what, who, how much), comparative questions (differences between groups or variables), and causal questions (cause-and-effect relationships). Each type suits different research methodologies.
- How do I choose the right type of research question?
- Descriptive questions are best for exploratory research when little is known about a topic. Comparative questions work well when you want to examine differences between groups. Causal questions are ideal for experimental or quasi-experimental research investigating cause-and-effect relationships.
- Can I use these research questions for my dissertation?
- The generated questions provide excellent starting points for dissertations and theses. You should refine them based on your literature review, available data, and feedback from your advisor to ensure they are appropriately scoped and feasible.
- What makes a good research question?
- A good research question is clear, focused, and researchable. It should be specific enough to investigate within your timeline and resources, complex enough to require analysis rather than a simple yes or no answer, and relevant to your field of study.
