تحقیقی عمل میں استفسارات ِتحقیق :نوعیت اور اہمیت

Abstract

The research process emerges from numerous factors, progressing through several stages from the selection of a topic to the final submission of the dissertation. Among these stages, the presentation of the research outline holds significant importance after the topic selection. The research outline consists of several key components, one of which is the research questions. In research, questions are categorized into two types. The first type includes questions that are part of quantitative or psychological critique, primarily concerning the provision of data, with a focus on the public. The second type comprises questions aimed at achieving the objectives of the research within the framework of the outline. This paper, titled "Research Questions in the Research Process: Nature and Significance," addresses the second category. The paper draws from various works that focus on research and research outlines. It is an attempt to fill a gap in the literature and serves as a step toward simplifying the research journey for novice researchers.
