Member Training: Operationalizing Research Questions

One of the hardest steps in any project is learning to ask the right research question!

Without a precise, testable research question, we tend to flounder – unsure of what data is needed and what collection methods or what statistical analysis we should use.

In this training you will (i) learn about moving from research theory to a precisely formulated research question; (ii) learn to differentiate good from bad research questions, and (iii) learn to operationalize your variables of interest, and specify testable research questions and hypotheses.


Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
