چکیده
The weakness of much of our research is that we have failed to take seriously the initial step in research design, that is, formulating the problem. Artists, musicians, novelists, playwrights, inventors, developers all know (and teach as best they can) that variation in the quality of creative products is affected by the way in which the creator formulates the problem. But in education, and much of social science research, we have turned the process upside down. We concentrate on precision in methodology, e.g., normative, experimental, qualitative research techniques, while tolerating imprecision in problem formulation. The latter design step is obviously the more complex step since the complexity of design specification is related directly to the number of options available to the designer. And at no time does the researcher have a broader field of options than at the point of problem formulation. Doctoral students (typically neophyte researchers) are often signal examples of the range of available options as they cast about sometimes for months trying to “find a worthwhile problem.”
