Thank you for this comprehensive explanation of "golden thread" idea - my professor just mentioned it, without further revealing. Now you clarified things perfectly 👍

Thank you so much for your amazing work. A lot of things are clearer to me now. So then what is the research problem/ statement, is that the same as the aim. Please provide clarity on this
You guys are very fantastic.
Thank you so much!

Hi, is it okay to use The Golden Thread with a research paper?
Replied in a separate comment.
Thanks

This is really helpful. Could you do a video on research questions in the humanities specifically (English, modern languages, history, etc.) I feel like a lot of these videos are useful but not closley related at all to what I'm researching. If someone was doing a PhD in literature, what might a viable research question look like?
Thanks for the suggestion, Shawna. Our expertises lays primarily within the social sciences (as opposed to humanities), but we're always looking to expand.
Could u guys help to explain more in Misalignment (Qual)? At the 2nd issue “perception vs experiences”, why is it “perception” in the RQ “How do managers influence digital transformation?” ?
(It made me confused when seeing the 3nd issue which is “influence outcome vs employee experiences”)
Great....
Thanks
next time give us more brief video. Your videos is such a help☺
Wow 👏 sk helpfful
Amazing. A little louder voice would not have hurt.
Thanks!
My topic is "curriculum for primary school: a case study early grade mathematics assessment grade 1,2 and 3.
May u make a research questions for me. It stuck for me
I am reading a research paper namely "Electric Energy consumption Prediction of a Small/Medium business: A Machine Learning Approach" and it discusses the efficiency of several ML models to predict the same using feature engineering. How can I frame the correct research question to this paper. Is it (1) How efficient is Machine learning in predicting Electric Energy consumption in Small/Medium business ? or (2) What is the impact of number of Workstations and lights/ environmental factors in Small/Medium business ?
Both (1) and (2) can be potential research questions. However, the research question you choose will depend on your research interests and the specific focus you want to explore.
@@GradCoach Thanks a lot for your reply.
Do you work with professional doctorate students or just PhD?
Is it okay to use The Golden Thread with a research paper?
Typically, research aims, objectives and questions are required for all types of academic research, so I can't see any harm in using it in a research paper. Worst case, it may be slight overkill for a simpler project.
How many aims/objectives and research questions is good to have in research?

Thanks
