"What is the relationship between a student's preferred learning style and the development of their digital literacy skills?"
This research question would be a Causal-comparative research type as you have no control over the different learning styles a student prefers or the development of their digital literacy's. You would need to capture data about both of these and attempt to explain/find a relationship between the two.

I am interested in this research question:

"Will allowing primary school students, esp. young ones, use calculators be helpful or harmful to their learning results in mathematics?"

Follow up the previous research question...
"Will allowing primary school students, esp. young ones, use calculators be helpful or harmful to their learning results in mathematics?"

As to research method, it seems it is easier to be done using quantitative approach

For example, we can do a controlled test, allowing some students to use calculators in homework and study and banning the use of it for some other students. Academic results of the two groups are then compared and correlation calculated.
