At this point, you may have an idea of your general social work topic, but what specific
problem does that point to and how can that problem be conveyed as a question to be
explored? In order to conduct a successful research study, the research question must be
clearly defined, well justified, and offer something new to the social work knowledge
base. The research study can only be as good as the research question that guides it.
For this Discussion, you articulate the problem you are focusing on and craft your
research question to address that problem. You also consider the value of the identified
problem by considering how it relates to social work practice.
• Review the Learning Resources on identifying research problems and developing
research questions.
• Consider the problem that you would like to study in your proposed research, the
gap in knowledge that it addresses, and how it connects to social work practice.
Assignment Below:
Write the problem you are focusing on in your research. What would you like to know
about this topic; that is, what is a gap in knowledge that your research on the topic could
fill? Based on the identified problem, develop and share your research question here.
