Unreferenced date July 2011 A research question is the methodological point of departure of scholarly research in both the natural sciences and humanities . The research will answer any question posed. At an undergraduate level, the answer to the research question is the thesis statement . Importance The research question is one of the first methodological steps the investigator has to take when undertaking research . The research question must be accurately and clearly defined. Choosing a research question is the central element of both quantitative research quantitative and qualitative research and in some cases it may precede construction of the conceptual framework of study. In all cases, it makes the theoretical assumptions in the framework more explicit, most of all it indicates what the researcher wants to know most and first. Uses The student or researcher then carries out the research necessary to answer the research question, whether this involves reading secondary sources over a few days for an undergraduate term paper or carrying out primary research over years for a major project. Once the research is complete and the researcher knows the probable answer to the research question, writing can begin. In term papers, the answer to the question is normally given in summary in the introduction essay introduction in the form of a thesis statement .

They are usually though not always unmanned, filled with a lighter than air gas like helium , and fly at high altitude balloon high altitudes . Meteorology, atmospheric research, astronomy, and military research may be conducted from a research balloon. Weather balloon s are a type of research balloon. Research balloons usually study a single aspect of science, such as air pollution, air temperature, or wind currents, although sometimes several experiments or equipment are flown together. Image Malcolm Ross AHM USNO19570507 212.png thumb right Malcolm Ross balloonist Malcolm Ross piloting a research balloon down from the stratosphere Other than weather balloons, few research balloons are launched every year. This is driven by the large cost of the balloon, the instrument, which is usually custom made, and the cost of the launch. Because of the altitude reached by most research balloons, the air is too thin and too cold for humans to survive, therefore most research balloons are unmanned and operated remotely. There have been some balloons equipped with pressurized cabins, beginning with professor Auguste Piccard in the 1930s. Research balloons are not only used on earth.

Dialectical research or dialectical inquiry or dialectical investigation is a form of qualitative research which utilizes the method of dialectic , aiming to discover truth through examining and interrogating competing ideas, perspectives or arguments. Dialectical research can be seen as a form of exploratory research , in that there is not so much a research hypothesis to be tested, but rather new understandings to be developed. Dialectical research may also be thought of as the opposite of empirical research , in that the researcher is working with arguments and ideas, rather than data. Indeed Bertell Ollman 1993 argues that all research is either dialectical or nondialectical. Dialectical research may be applied to a range of problems. For instance, Eli Berniker and David McNabb 2006 argue for the application of dialectical research for the study of organizational processes and James Page 2008 has used a dialectical research method to develop a philosophy of peace education.
