Do you expect the study to have limitations? Why is it important to discuss these limitations in the research report?
What will be an ideal response?
The notion of research limitations is covered in detail within the chapter to highlight that they are
a key part of any study. Students are eased into understanding that no one expects them to
conduct research that is limitless with no boundaries or weaknesses. They should be encouraged
to openly investigate and acknowledge all possible limitations of any research they undertake,
review or think about, such as the case study in question. Covering up limitations opens the door
for external scrutiny, whereas bringing out limitations positively allows for the study to be put in
perspective and the next studies to evolve and take form. In groups or individually, students
should be prompted to explore how and why limitations are a key part of reporting good
research.
