Should we ask our students to have only one research question in their research project?

01 January 1970 1 3K Report

Is it one question only, or some projects may have 3 related research questions covered in the study? Should we limit our guidelines to ONLY ONE research question or should we say not to be more than two or three questions?

Maris Martinsons

No, it rarely a good idea to limit ourselves to a single research question.

For most projects, it is helpful, at a minimum, to determine WHAT is going on? ... and WHY?
