Question

How do I construct a research question on reading culture among school children?

Community Answer

First, you must determine the children's geographical background to find out their language capacity. For instance, if you are focusing on the English language, you need to know whether it is the children's native language or second language. The next step is to find out or look for a proper strategy for reading. There are lots of different models and strategies, but once again, these depend on your subjects' geographical background.

Question

Are there any programs to help me with data collection and analysis?

Community Answer

I've been using Survey Monkey, and plan to use it more frequently as I move forward with the study. The app breaks down the information nicely, as far as how many respondents answered a certain way, number of total responses, etc.

Question

Do I need permission for recording an interview?

Community Answer

Yes. Not to have permission would be, at best, unethical, and could be illegal. You can do an internet search for sample consent forms. Simply type it up with your information, and have the participant, or the parent or guardian if the participant is a minor, sign it before you begin.

Question

How can I address the problems of qualitative research?

Community Answer

Qualitative methods are useful when a question cannot be answered by a simple "yes or no" hypothesis. Often qualitative research is especially useful for answering "how" or "what" questions. They are also useful when budgetary decisions have to be taken into account.

Question

Where do I start when making a research question about the negative effects of procrastination?

Community Answer

You should start with a burning question and then narrow it down more to make it manageable enough to be researched effectively.
