This book examines the conduct and purposes of educational
research. It looks at values of researchers, at whose interests are
served by the research, and the inclusion or exclusion of
practitioners and subjects of research. It asks if educational
research should be explicitly committed to promoting equality and
inclusion, and whether that requires research to be more aware of
the cultural and global contexts of research questions. It explores
the ethical challenges encountered in the conduct of research and
the potential ethical and social justice constraints imposed by
comparative research rankings. Next, it discusses the research
funding aspects of the above issues both philosophically and
historically, thus examining the changing sources, patterns, and
effects of educational research funding over time. Since the
conduct of most educational research increasingly requires
institutional and financial support, the question is whether
funding shapes the content of research, and what counts as
research. The book discusses if funding is a factor in the shift of
efforts of researchers from pure or basic research to more applied
research, and if it encourages the development of large research
teams, to the detriment of individual scholars. It looks at the
ownership of the content, results, and data of publicly funded
research. Finally, it tries to establish whether scholars solicit
funding to support research projects, or generate research projects
to attract funding. This publication, as well as the ones that are
mentioned in the preliminary pages of this work, were realized by
the Research Community Philosophy and History of the Discipline of
Education: Purposes, Projects, and Practices of Educational
Research.
