What is a research question, and why is it important for it to be good? A research question describes \u201cwhat researchers want to understand about the research problem that led to their study\u201d (Given, 2008, p. 786). It is the active first step taken in a research project after selecting an idea to explore. Given this, good research must begin with a good research question. According to Kelly (2018), a good research question is <\/p>\n
\u2022\tNarrow In sum, a good or thoughtfully constructed research question is a prerequisite for good research. The research question acts like a roadmap of where the researcher is going with their study; therefore, it is essential to formulate a good research question right from the start to avoid veering off course, getting lost, and wasting valuable time. <\/p>\n References<\/strong> Image from Pixaby What is a research question, and why is it important for it to be good?
