TYPES OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS

In general, there are two types of questions formulated in research. These are as follows:
1. Non-researchable questions – These are questions of value and are answerable by yes
or no.

Examples:
a. Should all mothers breastfeed their babies?
b. Should high school teachers be watchful over their Grade 7 students?
c. Should the schools offering different majors in senior high schools require their students to
have a mandatory review before taking the National Assessment Exam?
d. Do all head teachers have a master’s degree?
e. Are family members helping their children in reviewing their lessons?
2. Researchable questions – These are questions of opinions, perceptions, or policy that are
raised to accumulate data. Formulating a clear, significant question prepares the researcher
for subsequent decision-making on research design, data collection, and data analysis.
