Revised questions?

My Current Question?

"Does having a qualification/degree benefit a performers transition into teaching and choreographing easily?''

Changing the opinionated words to something more broader could help achieve answers.

Is having a qualification/degree useful in a performer to start teaching and choreographing? 

Will having a qualification/degree in dance provide a performer with the knowledge to teach the students successfully?

If a Dancer has the background in Dance education with a Qualification/Degree would this provide useful facilities to teach dance students?

  1. I thought the first question more easy to tackle "Does having a qualification/degree benefit a performers transition into teaching and choreographing easily?'' but I think if it was further refined you could really get into some interesting research …

    "Teachers Transition from qualified Dance Performer: What benefits do Teachers attribute to their Dance qualifications within their teaching?

    I think this type of question is more precise, it also implies a method for gathering data. Shaping and honing good questions is an art, and it is not easy. Once you have good, valid questions, actually the gathering and analysis of data is much more straightforward.

    I think you should keep with the questions, keep working at them and question all the time: your motive for asking the question; who would be able to answer it; am I leading the respondent to answer in a particular way because of the way I asked the question; what is the relevance of the question: who would be interested in the answer; - really keep working on this, you are getting there.
