ABSTRACT
Two almost intractable problems of educational research have been related to the questions of (a) how to make research, often abstract and referring to nobody in particular, relevant to the real lives of people and (b) how to generalize from the experience of individuals to the experience of others. These problems, it appears to me, are the outcomes of a particular way of looking at and seeing the world generally, and the relationship between the general and particular specifically (Roth, 2009).
