Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to underscore the potential importance of research question for providing interesting theoretical contribution and confer guidance on how research questions having that potential can be developed. Recent studies agreed upon the fact that prevalent methods used for developing research questions are failing to provide interesting theoretical contribution and called for the need on more innovative approaches. Embarking from the dilemma caused by gap-spotting -traditional research question development approach- problematization which is said to be more innovative, is offered as an alternative way for developing research questions for providing interesting theoretical contribution

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilginç kuramsal katkı sağlama potansiyeli açısından araştırma sorusunun önemini vurgulamak ve bu potansiyele sahip araştırma sorularının nasıl geliştirilebileceğine ilişkin kavramsal düzeyde öneriler sunmaktır. Yürütülen araştırmalar alanyazına dayalı olarak araştırma sorusu geliştirme girişimlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan geleneksel yöntemlerin ilginç kuramsal katkı sağlama konusundaki yetersizliği noktasında birleşmekte ve araştırma sorusu geliştirme konusunda daha yenilikçi yaklaşımlara olan ihtiyaca dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında araştırma sorusu geliştirme konusunda geleneksel baskın yaklaşım olarak kabul edilen dolgulama yaklaşımının yol açtığı açmazdan hareketle daha yenilikçi olduğu düşünülen sorunsallaştırma yaklaşımı ilginç kuramsal katkı sağlama konusunda alternatif bir yol olarak önerilmektedir
