Research Methodology and Biostatistics for Postgraduate Residents in Basic Sciences and Paraclinical Sciences
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Define and explain the concept of a research gap
- Use literature mapping and critical reading to identify gaps in existing evidence
- Apply the FINER criteria to evaluate the quality of a research question
- Construct well-formed, focused, and researchable research questions from identified gaps
- Distinguish weak research questions from strong ones using specific examples
Content:
- Understanding what a “research gap” means
- Techniques to identify gaps (e.g. literature mapping, limitations of previous studies, conflicting findings etc.)
- Translating gaps into answerable research questions applying FINER criteria: Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, Relevant
- Characteristics of a strong research question (e.g. clear, focused, researchable, aligned with available methods etc.)
- Examples of weak vs. strong research questions
