Document Summary
Creating versus using the research question: create a question to start the process, use the question through the iterative process to reveal the findings. Qualitative questioning is viewed as an ongoing process. Iterative process is essential for understanding and interpreting what is unfolding through the study. Articulates what a researcher wants to know about perspectives and intentions of individuals through their social and experiential reality. The question is refined through the process of research: using a reflective approach. Qualitative research does not begin with a hypothesis or presumed outcome: recall, it is an inductive approach. The initial research question is typically viewed as a launch point. Theoretical framework and constructs shape the evolution of the study. Inform the research question, and may change as the findings are uncovered. Purpose of the research question: provides direction and coherence to the study, identifies boundaries, framework for writing up the findings, indicates what data will be needed to answer the question successfully.
