Constructing Research Questions

Doing Interesting Research

Mats Alvesson

"Constructing Research Questions" by Mats Alvesson and Sandberg provides a unique approach to formulating innovative research questions that can lead to influential theories. While traditional research methods tend to overlook constructing research questions, the authors provide a problematization methodology for identifying and challenging assumptions underlying existing theories. Through practical examples across various social sciences, readers are shown how to think beyond 'gap-spotting' techniques and create novel research questions that challenge existing theories and produce imaginative empirical studies. This book is a must-read for any researcher looking to formulate interesting and novel research questions.

Greatly enjoyed the book "Constructing Research Questions: Doing Interesting Research": (you might have free access through your library). Asking problematizing questions (see table) (instead of 'gap-spotting' questions) is something worthwhile to teach.      source
