peer agreement (net): -1working statement Explanation: See if this fits your context: III. THE PROSPECTUS: The Prospectus provides a clear but sometimes tentative working statement about your research topic. It should contain an explanation of the larger historical concerns which make your topic valuable and engaging. You should also outline and discuss issues raised by your work. The Prospectus is more than a tentative roadmap. It should include a working statement of your expectations as well as possible findings and conclusions. http://bit.ly/bdNxWR (pdf for writing thesis) |

working question Explanation: the problem with my reference may be that it might be written by Dutch people but "werk" in "werkvraag" has the same meaning as "werk" in "werkdocument, werkdefinitie" that are translated by van Dale as "working document" and "working definition" The main question in this study will be: ‘To what extent should the internal communication towards employees of an international governmental organization on a culture-sensitive subject be adjusted to their intercultural experience elsewhere?’ In order to answer this question we will first need to answer our working question, which is: ‘To what extent are foreknowledge, attitude and willingness of the employees of an international governmental organization towards a culture-sensitive subject dependent on their intercultural experience elsewhere?’ We will test our hypotheses at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, regarding the culture-sensitive subject of Sustainable Management. http://igitur-archive.library.uu.nl/student-theses/2009-0108... |

peer agreement (net): +1subquestion Explanation: Basically, the 'werkvragen' are divisions of the 'onderzoeksvraag', so they are subquestions, more specific and less theoretical than the 'research question'. |

working hypothesis Explanation: I think this may be what you are looking for. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_hypothesis A working hypothesis is a hypothesis that is provisionally accepted when no alternatives are available,[1] or when the philosophical implications of the alternatives are considered to be absurd or otherwise undesirable. Like all hypotheses, a working hypothesis can be constructed as a statement of expectations. They can be linked to the exploratory research purpose in empirical investigation, and are also often used as a conceptual framework as they are well suited to qualitative research methods.[2] |

research topic/research issue Explanation: From the full Dutch original available here: http://www.de-hooiberg.nl/webgeletterdheid/artikelen/legiers... , it is clear that the terms "onderzoeksvraag" and "werkvraag" are being used interchangeably as synonyms for each other. So the task is to find a cognate term in English which could be used interchangeably for research question. The above two suggestions were culled from: http://www.esc.edu/esconline/across_esc/writerscomplex.nsf/0... , which is a broadly similar document to the one being translated. |

working research question Explanation: The decision on whether you have a hypothesis or a question is not really important in the early stages of research. What is important is a precise statement of objectives which can be developed into a working research question or, where appropriate, developed into a hypothesis depending on the research strategy you employ. http://people.exeter.ac.uk/mjheath/OtherSources.htm A good research work depends on formulating a good working research question.
