Nature of Quantitative Research Problem
Questions
What is a research
question?
• A research question is a clear,
focused, concise, complex and
arguable question around which
you center your research. You
should ask a question about an
issue that you are genuinely curious
about.
Why is a research question
essential to the research
process?

words.
Research questions can be generally classified
into two: general and specific. The general
question of the study is derived from the research
problem while the specific questions are
anchored on the general research problem.
What are the various social media platforms used by Senior High Students?
What is the relationship between the length of hours spent on social media and level of
digital literacy of students?
Is there a significant relationship between the type of social media used and the level digital
literacy of students?
Research Questions for Ex Post Facto Research attempt to identify the causes of
the phenomenon in the context of your research problem. It is also assumed that no
control or manipulation of variable has been done in order to cause the effect. It is
understood that the cause of the problem already exists before you conducted your
study. For example, ex post facto study on family background and digital literacy of
students, the following questions can be asked:
Is there a difference in the literacy level of students between their cultural and
educational family background?
Research Questions for Experimental and Quasi-experimental Research
suggests that answers to these questions are brought about by manipulation or control
of a certain variable during the conduct of the study. These questions provide
explanation to the causal relationship of variables. The following research questions can
be asked on studies on elementary student’s remedial sessions and academic
performance of students:
Is there a significant difference in the post test scores of the control group and
experimental group?
1. What is the relationship between vibration of the chest wall and the resulting chest
wall forces, chest wall circumference, intrapleural pressure, and expiratory flow rate?
2. Is the intrapleural pressure during vibration the sum of the intrapleural pressure due to
recoil of the lung, chest wall compression, and chest wall oscillation?
Scope and
Delimitation
This sections explains the
nature, coverage, and the
time frame of the study.
Scope
It presents briefly the subject
and area of investigation, the
Delimitati place, the time period.
on
It indicates the extent of
capability of results arising
from the sampling population.
In doing research study, we make sure that we have
certainty and reasons for drawing the inclusion and
exclusion of research variables. We do not write for
the sake of writing the parts of the research paper;
such as setting the scope and delimitation of your
study. It is important because it draws the
boundary of your study. Without doing so, research
procedures and results will not be coherent to the
goal of your study.
Scope:
The scope specifies the coverage of
your study such as variables,
population or participant, and
timeline.
Delimitation cites factors of your
study that are not included or
excluded or those you will not deal in
your study.
In this section of your research paper, you may also state the reasons why
you did not include the variables. A clearly written scope and delimitation of
the study will make it definitely easier to answer questions which are
related or not related to your study.
