Explain why educational research should be “beneficial, meaningful, and significant . . . to someone, somewhere, somehow, someday.”
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answer would ideally include: Educational research should help people in some way or there is no purpose in conducting it. We need educational research to help us learn about topics of interest and answer specific questions we have about phenomenon. If we already know the answer to a question, it would be meaningless to study it and, therefore, would assist no one. The purpose of educational research is to help us understand more about the problems or questions that we face in the field of education; because it is a social science, it inevitably affects people. Therefore, undertaking educational research studies means conducting research on problems/questions that have no established answers or solutions so that people may benefit in some way from the new knowledge/insight.
