What is the difference between aim, hypothesis, research question?

Educational achievement GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF AN AIM, HYPOTHESIS, RESEARCH QUESTION FOR THE FOLLOWING TOPIC: Educational achievement AIM: HYPOTHESIS: RESEARCH QUESTION:

Operationalization What is it? The process through which (abstract) concepts are translated into (measurable) variables

Operationalization What concepts would you need to operationalise for the investigation of educational achievement?

Operationalization Complete the tasks on P96

Pilot study What is it? A small study conducted in advance of a planned project, specifically to test aspects of the research design (such as stimulus material) and to allow necessary adjustment before final commitment to the design. Although not unknown in qualitative research, these are more common in large quantitative studies, since adjustment after the beginning of fieldwork is less possible than in qualitative work.

Pilot study If you were to research the relationship between gender and subject choice: 1. What aim, hypothesis or research question would you test? 2. What method would you choose and why? 3. Create a pilot study for this. 4. Test it.
