“Progress during the past years in the technological and methodological aspects of research (in agricultural education) has not been accompanied by comparable improvements in another very important aspect of research, namely, the relevance, significance, and importance of problems and issues that we investigate . . . I propose that our highest priority for continuing progress in research in agricultural education must be that we pay greater attention to the significance and importance of the problems and issues that we research” (Warmbrod, 1986, p. 9). Similar concerns regarding issues, focus, and programmatic efforts have been expressed by Krebs (1976), Mannebach (1980), Moore (1987), Stewart, Shinn, and Richardson (1977), and Vaughn (1983).
