Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the process of the construction of research problems in the qualitative research strategy on education. The aim is to indicate the possibility of applying the Alfred Schütz’ concept of mental constructs during the determining the research problem area. This concept includes constructs of the first and second degree in the research questions. The theoretical assumptions of problematization were used to develop the object of reflection – the phenomenon of a „trap” in making research decisions. They also allowed the author to consider the benefits of „the trap” experience as a turning point in the researcher’s practice.
