Construction of a research tool

Research tools are materials that are necessary to perform a study. Not just the techniques and instruments of data collection, but research tools include all inventions, discoveries and existing knowledge. The following are the steps to guide you in construction of a research tool:

STEP 1: Clearly define and list all the specific objectives or research questions of your study.

STEP 2: For each research problem or question, list the associated questions that you would want to explore answers for through your study.

STEP 3: Consider each research question listed in the previous step to identify the information required to answer it.

STEP 4: Questions may be formulated to obtain answers to the research problems of step 2.
