Inquiry:101's Mission Statement

The mission of this lesson is to provide students with the wide range of skills needed to craft an effective research question – a query which examines the relationship between variables and be answered through analysis of data. The research question will inform the entire research process and help students identify their search terms and the resources they should examine.  It's understood that as the research process progresses, the student's research question might change based upon the new information they incorporate into their knowledge base. Faced with an information glut, these skills will enable students to find the data most suitable to answer any of their questions – those posed inside and outside the classroom.
