At the end of the study, objectives must be assessed to see if those have been met/achieved or not
Research QuestionsResearch questions explain the answer/s required for the solution of the problem. Research questions can be stated in both the qualitative and quantitative research but are mostly used in qualitative research. Similar to the objectives the research questions should be:
Clear
Researchable
Connected with already established theory and research
Linked with each other
Capable of making contribution to research
Literature Review
