Abstract
While educational researchers predominately study complex, multidimensional problems, research findings and proposed arguments are characterized as definite, simplified and prone to 3 particular types of answers or expected outcomes. We seek to problematize definite and simplified notions of answers and propose answers be seen not as a final step in research but rather as an opening, an assemblage, a jar, or a call to transition into new forms of questions, outlooks, and modes of thought.
