This volume offers an overview of the pragmatic understanding of
knowledge and the acquisition of knowledge, and its implications
for the conduct of educational research. Pragmatism and Educational
Research focuses primarily on the work of John Dewey, and examines
the relationship between pragmatism and educational research both
in relation to research methodology and to a pragmatic educational
theory. Biesta and Burbules provide examples of characteristic
research questions and research methods and approaches, as informed
by a pragmatist outlook. Further, they argue that the major benefit
of a pragmatic approach to educational research lies in the
possibility of promoting intelligent and reflective action by
educational practitioners.
