Abstract	This article explores the idea that theoretical approaches might be usefully compared in terms of the ways in which they lead researchers to construe commonsense classroom problems. It reports an experience when one such problem was posed to a range of researchers with different theoretical backgrounds. They were invited to propose an answer, and to reframe the classroom problem as a research problem. As anticipated, responses adopted particular theoretical perspectives that "privileged" certain objects of study and modes of explanation. Nevertheless, where responses did appeal to a common theoretical perspective, sometimes used in combination with others, there could be quite sharp differences in conceptualisation, proposed action, and research intention.
