Unit 2: Developing a practice-based question

Why develop a question?

Sometimes you will be asked to develop your own question, either on your own or working in a group. These pages will help you to:

  • Identify the types of questions that arise from areas of practice
  • Develop a focused practice-based question
  • Recognise how research studies reflect practice-based questions that are of interest to practitioners

If you understand the components of a Practice-Based Question, you will recognise how researchers focus these even further into investigative questions that form the starting point of a research study. Categorising questions and focusing them clearly will lead you to the right types of study to fill your knowledge gap.
