Abstract

Selecting a research topic is crucial for research success, however transforming it into manageable and researchable endeavours is equally pivotal. This chapter delves into three important components in this transformation process: (1) Defining the research's purpose, (2) Formulating research questions, and (3) Establishing scope. These components, explored in three distinct sections, are integral to rendering social science research navigable and conducive to rigorous exploration. The first section scrutinizes the concept of research purpose, emphasizing its profound impact on the research process and its critical role in shaping research questions. The second section distinguishes research questions from the research purpose, highlighting their significant impact and providing insights into crafting them effectively. The third section explores the concept of scope, specifying parameters and addressing the multifaceted aspects influencing the research process. This chapter guides researchers in navigating educational research complexities, covering design, question, and scope.
