Abstract
A critical skill in engineering education research
is the ability to formulate “good” research questions. As
David Hilbert states, “he who seeks for methods without
having a definite problem in mind seeks for the most part
in vain”. Issues researchers need to consider in
formulating research questions include: what is the nature
of the phenomenon, will this study have implications for
theory or practice, and who is the audience for this
research. A good research question will be timely, focused,
generative, and align with disciplinary research design
principles.
