The following table gives guidance on the difference between unclear and unfocused research questions and those that are appropriately clear and focused, lending themselves to in-depth research.

5 steps to develop a research question(1)

It is important that students understand the distinction between the terms topic, title and research
question.

• The topic of the extended essay is the subject, issue or theme that you are investigating within a
specific DP subject or world studies area of study. The topic, which develops during the initial thinking
about the EE, should later be reflected in the wording of the title.

• The title of the EE is a clear, summative statement that specifically focuses the topic being researched. It
appears on the title page. A title should:
- be short, descriptive and succinct
- not be phrased as a question
- use key words that connect with the topic and the DP subject or world studies area of study
- attract the interest of the reader.

• The research question derives from the title and is expressed as a question that is intended to be
answered through researching and writing the EE. It appears on the title page and could also be visible
as a header throughout the essay. It should:
- be clear and focused
- provide a path through which you can undertake achievable research
- use key words that connect with the topic, the title, and the DP subject or world studies area of
study
- support the development of an argument.

The Researcher's reflection space is a personal learning environment that can be either a physical or virtual support tool. It is a space in which students are able to record reflections on what they are reading, writing and thinking. It can help students to prepare for their reflection sessions with their supervisors and inform the discussions that take place. In preparing for their reflection sessions students could use their RRS to:

record their reflections

respond to artifacts, such as photos, newspaper clippings, Twitter feeds, blogs, and so on

respond to prompts and questions that may arise in the students’ subject areas, TOK classes or other aspects of the Diploma Programme

create Mind Maps®;

record emerging questions.

Many students already keep research journals in the planning, researching and writing phases of their EE. Encouraging students to develop an RRS will help them manage their workload and focus on their EE.

The school encourages students to use ManageBac's EE RRS section for that purpose.

Is it possible to use external labs to carry out the experiments form the essay?

Yes, but the school should be notified about such a case as there needs to be a person in charge of the student in the external location (the so called external mentor). Such information needs to be reported to the IB as well.
