In a clear, concise fashion, this book describes the underlying
issues involved in the current discussion over different approaches
(empiricist vs. interpretive, quantitative vs. qualitative,
scientific vs. naturalist) to social and educational inquiry. The
author shows why the issues are currently of interest, briefly
describes the standard empiricist perspective on inquiry, and
examines the historical origins of the issues. Additionally, there
is a discussion of the relationship of the researcher to the
subject matter, the relationship of facts and values, the goal of
inquiry, and the role of procedures in the inquiry process. In the
final chapter there is a summary of these points in terms of the
major question of objectivism versus relativism.
