This book probes the intellectual foundations of scholarly inquiry
into educational administration, policy, and politics. The question
of whether, and if so how, social science theories and methods
contribute to an understanding of these issues is hotly debated
today. Is there really a scientific basis for evaluating and/or
improving educational administration, politics and policy? The
contributors-all recognized scholars in the fields of educational
organization, administration, policy and politics-tackle the
question of epistemology directly, addressing anew what rules of
scholarly conduct should guide research and practice in the field,
and how those rules of inquiry should guide the training of
scholars and education professionals. The Introduction places the
chapters in a common intellectual framework for rebuilding
confidence in social science inquiry and of the legitimacy of the
university as an arbiter of scientific knowledge claims. New
Foundations for Knowledge in Educational Administration, Policy,
and Politics: Science and Sensationalism is directed to research
scholars, faculty, graduate students, and policy agency staffers in
the fields of educational policy, politics, and administration;
educational evaluation; and educational foundations. It is well
suited as a text for graduate courses in these areas.
