Also known as FACTOR NAMING QUESTIONS
They isolate, describe, or name factors and situations
What is this
Factor-isolating Questions
Their goal is to determine the relationship among factors that have been identified.
They are usually questions for a non-experimental type of research.
What is happening here?”
Factor-Relating Questions
These questions usually yield hypothesis testing or experimental study designs in which the researcher manipulates the variables to see what will happen
What will happen if?
Situation-Relating Question
These questions establish explicit goals for actions, develop plans or prescriptions to achieve goal, and specify the conditions under which goals will be accomplished
How can i make it happen
Situation-Producing Questions
a tentative explanation or an answer to a question about variables, their relationships, and other facts involved in the research.
Hypothesis
