When it comes to
defining the relevance or research questions, there are a number of things that
must be considered.
Originality
and clarity – in accordance with the first respondent,
this is the first consideration when it comes to defining the relevance of a
research. That is to say, the research question must not be what has been asked
before, instead it should be an original question that is easy for the
respondents to understand and address.
Focused and
relevant – in accordance with the second
respondent, a good research question must also be focused to the research topic
and relevant in the sense that it should be based purely on what the research
is all about. The importance of this is that it will make it easy for the
hypothesis to be tested and overall purpose of the research easily attainable.
Easy to manage
– in accordance with the third
respondent, when it comes to establishing findings from the research process,
the main focus is on how the research questions can easily be managed. That is
to say, can they be easily computed into the analytical system? This is another
important element that good research puts into consideration.
