    Criteria for a Good Research Question What makes a good research question?

    It addresses a need or a problem that you encounter as a practitioner. It doesnt need to be unique, but it must be important to you and your practice. It challenges you to question your own assumptions about teaching, learning, literacy, and change; i.e., it challenges you to learn. It is researchable, meaning you are able to collect evidence that would answer the question. It is doable given your time and material constraints. It inspires you and has the potential to hold your interest over several months. It is not too general; that would result in a multitude of sub-questions. It is not too narrow; that would rule out the emergence of other possibilities. It cannot be answered yes or no

    Most good questions for practitioner research are one of two types: uestions that as!, "hat happens when#$

    %his !ind of question is appropriate when you need to understand something more deeply and before you can get to the point of trying out a new strategy or approach. What type of research question is problematic? It starts with &ow can I# It suggests a yes or no answer. It is rhetorical. It relates to issues of design rather than to the underlying issue or problem. It includes vague or ambiguous language.
