Which of the following is an initial mandatory requirement for pursuing research ?
Formulating a research question
Every research begins with a problem that the researcher wants to answer, expressed as a clear research question.
The research question decides what to study; only after it is fixed can a hypothesis be formulated, a research design developed and a data analysis procedure chosen.
Hypotheses are not even mandatory in all research (for example, exploratory studies), whereas a research question is always required at the start.
Hence, Formulating a research question.
The identification of a research problem involves:
(a) Selection of the academic area
(b) Demarcation of the study area
(c) Rejection of personal and collective choices
(d) Specific topics within the area
(e) Management of financial sources
The originality of a research topic will depend upon factors of:
(a) Uniqueness of the topic
(b) Utilitarian dimensions
(c) Support system
(d) Non-requirement of supervision
(e) Feasibility of the study
Formulation of a research problem depends upon:
(a) Object behind the researcher's choice
(b) Specific questions
(c) Conceptual model
(d) Negative factors
(e) Reasons for unlimiting the study
(f) Construction of hypotheses
