This book provides critical and reflective discussions of a wide
range of issues arising in education at the interface between
philosophy, research, policy and practice. It addresses
epistemological questions about the intellectual resources that
underpin educational research, explores the relationship between
philosophy and educational research, and examines debates about
truth and truthfulness in educational research. Furthermore, it
looks at issues to do with the relationship between research,
practice and policy, and discusses questions about ethics and
educational research. Finally, the book delves into the deeply
contested area of research quality assessment. The book is based on
extensive engagement in empirically based educational research
projects and in the institutional and professional management of
research, as well as in philosophical work. It clarifies what is at
stake in international debates around educational research and
teases out the nature of the arguments, and, where argument
permits, the conclusions to which these point. The book discusses
these familiar themes using less predictable sources and points of
reference, such as: codes of social obligation in contemporary
Egypt and New Zealand; the 'Soviet', and the inspiration of the
nineteenth-century philosopher, Abai in contemporary Kazakhstan;
seventeenth-century France, Pascal, and the disputes between
Jesuits and Jansenites; eighteenth-century Italy, Giambattista
Vico, and la scienzia nuova; 'educational magic' in traditional
Ethiopia; and ends at a banquet with Socrates and dinner with wine
and a conversation-loving Montaigne.
