The two statements that describe a good research question are:
-
Broad enough that it cannot be answered with a one-word answer - A good research question should encourage exploration and analysis, requiring more than just a simple yes or no response.
-
Narrow enough that it is possible to sort through the available information - A good research question should be focused enough to allow the researcher to manage and analyze the relevant information effectively.
These characteristics help ensure that the research question leads to meaningful investigation and insightful conclusions.
