WHAT IS A RESEARCH QUESTION
Understanding the Important Elements of a Research Question
Introduction
A strong research question creates a roadmap for your work. How do you construct a solid research question? As you read this section, take notes on the important factors to consider when developing your question, as well as the necessary steps to transition into your topic.
Overview
This lesson focuses on determining the nature and extent of the information needed to answer research questions. It involves evaluating the content and purpose as well as the different sources relevant to the research question. To work toward this objective, it is necessary to review four main points about research questions: 1) what a research question is; 2) why a research question is important; 3) how to develop a research question; and 4) how to move from a research question to a topic. These initial steps of the research process can be daunting; however, if you spend time on these steps to develop a manageable research question, you will have a solid research project.
A research question is a narrow, clear, and arguable question that guides your research. For example, the following research question reflects these qualities: Are the current security methods employed by the TSA effective? Think of a research question as a path that directs the research and writing process. It marks where you have come from as well your intended future direction in your efforts to learn about a topic. In an effective research project, the research question, hypothesis (or working thesis statement), the purpose of the research project, and the goals of the project are related. A research question helps you anticipate which kinds of relevant resources to explore, and it also influences how you evaluate and analyze sources so that they support the thesis. In addition, a research question seeks a solution to a problem that you—as well as other scholars—think is valuable. For these reasons, research can be extremely rewarding as you contemplate and present information that is personally meaningful. Research is not simply finding information; its true power is in the evaluation and application of the information.
Some researchers also call the research question the problem or problem statement. Such statements clearly explain the problem, and they keep researchers on track during the research process. Often a research problem reflects a lack of knowledge about the topic. In fact, researchers will identify gaps in a body of scholarship in order to develop a research question that will shed new light on the topic. This approach also ensures that a researcher is not duplicating existing research. Researchers engage in a literature review, which involves summarizing the current knowledge and findings in a field based on primary and secondary sources. A literature review is helpful for identifying gaps. Here is an example of a sentence describing a research topic and a brief acknowledgement of the related research gap:
While there is a substantial amount of research about social interactions of younger dolphins in their original pod, few studies have explored the social interactions of older dolphins when they join a different pod.
Noting the gaps in research helps to develop the rationale and the focus of a research topic. Addressing the research gaps also builds on previous research by others. It shows how you will contribute to knowledge about a topic, so make sure you review the research pertaining to your topic as you formulate your research question.
A conscientious researcher knows that a good research question may change throughout the research and writing process. Be prepared to refine your question as you proceed with your research, so you do not get boxed into using a research question that might not yield a wide range of relevant resources. The best research essays are written by researchers who constantly read over their research questions throughout the research and writing process to assess whether they are still on course. Many researchers revise their questions as their work progresses in order to strive for fair and reliable research design and methodology. As you gather more information, your expanding knowledge base shapes the research question. Consider the following example as an illustration of revising the research question after evaluating and analyzing sources from the initial search.
A researcher named Betty began her research process with the following question: What are some dominant voting patterns among young adults? After she reviewed the available statistics on voting patterns and conducted interviews with young adults, she realized she needed to refine her research question so that it narrowed the focus. The initial research question was too broad and vague, and as a result, Betty mainly found data that was too general.
She then revised her research question based on her impressions from the initial review of sources (statistics and interviews). Betty noticed a significant pattern in the interviews and statistics: young adults expressed great concern about job opportunities and access to affordable health insurance. Therefore, she realized her sources revealed the research subjects (young adults) were focused on specific political issues. As a result, she decided to investigate the relation between voting patterns and the concerns about specific issues.
Given this development in Betty’s understanding of the topic, a possible example of her revised research question might be: What do the voting patterns of young adults reveal about the political issues that are essential to them? A potential secondary thesis statement would be: What do the concerns of young people indicate about their perception of political candidates or parties? This example shows how and why developing a research question is a fluid process, shaped by the researcher’s ongoing evaluation of information.
Like Betty and many other researchers, you most likely will find that you must continue to refine your research question, especially after conducting some initial research. As you revise, make sure your question is open-ended versus closed; in other words, ask a question that will result in a thorough and elaborate response as opposed to a question that will elicit a minimal “yes” or “no” response.
Also eliminate any unnecessary jargon. It is productive to use some key terminology used in your field of study, but do not overdo it. Even though you are writing about a specific topic that will have implications for other researchers in your field or discipline, you also want to present your research question and related research in a way that makes this information accessible for individuals outside of your field. Also avoid any value-laden language that signals your personal values or assumptions. Such language interferes with an objective approach to gathering sources and can skew the results of your research. Revising your research question does not mean starting over; it just means you have clarified the future path you are taking in your research endeavor. As you proceed with the research process, note when and why a source makes you rethink your research question. and thats it

Student Demographic Data Form Students will be directed to a link in Canvas that takes them to a survey form where they can provide information relating to their demographic characteristics and they can provide contact information so they can be contacted for the Alumni survey they will receive in the years following graduation. Upon completion of this survey, students will need to navigate back to Canvas to submit sections of their Final Case Study.
SECTION II (Directions)
Integrative Case Study: Write a case study based on an actual case from your generalist (i.e., 1st year (16 hour)) field practicum. This Final Case study may also be written from the material provided to you by your instructor, based on a film or the David Makes Man series. The decision to use either the series or the film results from a discussion between the student and the course instructor. However, students who do have an active case they are working with from their field internship will be expected to use that case. Please take all precautions to disguise the client system including using initials and changing any case details that could make the client identifiable by others. In addition, obtain consent from the client and approval from your field instructor to use him/her/them for the embedded assessment.
The case study must reflect your ability to apply knowledge and skills from all major content areas in the MSW curriculum including Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Social Welfare Policy, Practice, and Research.
Organize the case study using the subheadings below. Include the bulleted information under each section below in a written narrative (i.e., essay in paragraph format). Use American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition format, including references when citing theorists and other sources.
Overview of the Case
D1. Describe the client system, including its composition (i.e., the client may be an individual, group, community, or organization).
D2. Give a succinct but comprehensive statement of the client system(s) presenting problem. This statement should be enough to establish thorough understanding of the significant factors that are influencing the identified client (i.e., the client may be an individual, group, community, or organization).
Application of Social Welfare Policy to the Case
E1. Delineate a (Macro) Policy that could (has) or currently transforms the client/ organizational system (1 paragraph)

6) Describe key elements of proposed change (theoretical/model basis of the proposed
change based on literature review)
Theoretical Framework and Context for Analyzing Client System’s Situation
F1. Theoretical Framework for Understanding the Case
Using Cross’s Theory of Racial Identification, Select an additional human behavior theory that can be integrated and applied to understanding the client’s situation and presenting problem (e.g. social learning theory, attachment theory, etc.) and discuss its practical application to this case. Students should ensure that the application of the identified theories demonstrate their ability to integrate both frameworks AND a thorough understanding of application (individual, family, communities, organizations) within the case.
F2. Impact of the Urban Environment on the Case
Discuss how the dynamics of the urban environment impact the client system, including cultural, social justice and economic factors affecting the presenting problem of the client system (e.g., racial/cultural, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, gender, class, etc.).
F3. Ethical Considerations for the Case Identify ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics that are relevant to the case. Identify any ethical dilemmas in this case and describe the steps you took to resolve them.
F3.1. Professional Boundaries
Students will identify and discuss professional boundaries that should be maintained as students’ progress throughout the case. These should include but not limited to topics such as timeliness, professional appearance, dual relationships, use of personal electronic devices, professional documentation, etc.
F4. Diversity Considerations for the Case
Identify and discuss the specific aspects of diversity that impact the social work process with the client system selected for this case. This should include diversity outside of race and could include but not limited to gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, culture, and any other areas of diversity or “otherisms” that have been identified.
F5. Human Rights and Social Justice Considerations for the Case
Identify and discuss the specific human rights or social justice considerations that impact the social work process with the client system and other marginalized groups selected for this case. Students should think broadly on how these issues could or have previously or continue to impact African American individuals, families, groups and organizations.
Engagement, Assessment, Intervention, Termination
Using evidence based practice specific to your social work area of concentration as your guide, identify a practice framework and explain the processes of engaging, assessing and intervening with the client system identified for this case.
