This would seem to be a sensible place to start. In the next instance, questions are framed with a distinct methodology in mind. Again this is being very practical. It recognizes the need for an environment in which a study can be successfully completed and is very much influenced by external factors. But the consequences of this practicality can be quite restricting.
Questions tend to emerge that seek to find solutions to what are quite contrived problem sets.
One possible solution is to consider more carefully before commencing who or what is the target audience of the research. The target audience is the beneficiary of the research outcomes. When one considers and includes the target audience in the planning process, issues of relevance and meaning become clearer. When I read educational research journals, I see a good deal of research whose target audience appears to be the academic community. I would guess that these journals see academics and researchers as their main audience.
