    This document discusses developing research questions for qualitative research. It provides examples of typical research questions that ask about how a social situation originated, how it was maintained over time, and how it changes. It also offers techniques for narrowing a topic into a research question such as examining literature, discussing ideas with others, relating the topic to a specific context, and defining the aim of the study. Finally, it gives examples of concrete research questions that are congruent with data collection methods and analysis such as understanding perceptions, practices, influencing factors, construction of accounts, and language use.

    QUESTIONS
    TYPICAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS
    Neumann(2007) advances the following as
    typical research questions for qualitative
    researchers:
    1. How did the social situation
    originate?
    2. How was the conditon/situation
    maintained over time?
    3. What are the processes by which a
    condition/situation changes, develops
    and operates?
    TECHNIQUES FOR NARROWING DOWN
    A TOPIC INTO A RESEARCH QUESTION

    1. Examine the Literature.


    2. Talk over ideas with other.
    3. Relate the topic to a specific content.
    4. Define the aim or desired outcome of the
    study.
    CONCRETE RESEARCH QUESTIONS
    CONGRUENT WITH DATA COLLECTION
    PROCEDURES AND DATA ANALYSIS
    1. Understanding and Perception
    Example:
    Perceptions on the impact of low grades on
    student's self esteem.Methods of data collection
    can be personal blogs or compositions and
    interviews. Analytic methods are discourse
    analysis, conversation analysis among others.
    2. Practices/Accounts of Practice:
    Example:
    The nuptial or wedding practices of selected
    ethnic groups. Methods of data collection can be
    qualitative surveys, interviews, obeservations;
    secondary sources like videos, pictures,
    pictures, newspapers, magazines. Analytic

    conversation analysis and the like.
    3. Influencing Factors
    Example:
    Factors that influence some women's desire to

    the modern young professionals' decisions to
    live in condominiums rather than stay in their
    parents' homes. Data collection for the latter can
    be interviews, directed diaries, focus group
    discussions; for the former will be mainly
    interviews and focus group interviews also.
    Secondary sources can be print and broadcast
    media, social networks like the facebook.
    Analytic procedures can be conversation
    analysis, narrative analysis, observations.
    4. Construction
    Example:
    Accounts of parents of children with addiction
    problems, accounts of single parents or of
    parents of special children. Also accounts
    of children whose mother or father have Alzheimer's
    disease. Data collection methods can be narrative, or
    story completion tasks, interviews, focus group
    discussions; secondary sources can be print media,
    videos and directed diaries. Analytic method can be
    conversation analysis, discourse analysis, video
    analysis, and analysis of news and future articles.
    5. Language Practice
    Example:
    How people construct, manage and undermine use of
    language in text message(SMS), Facebook, and the like.
    Analytic procedures are discourse analysis, interviews,
    analysis of posts on social media.
