Often students begin a research project with an idea they want to prove. However, good research begins with a question. A research question is the main query that your project strives to answer or the problem you are trying to solve. A strong research question focuses the research process and promotes inquiry, so it's important to get it right.
To successfully accomplish this stage of the research process, students need to learn how to understand an assignment, manage time well, use reference sources to conduct preliminary research on a few possible topics, and to create a research question.
