This book explores the complex social assumptions and values
that underlie research programmes about schools. The analysis of
educational research draws upon American and European scholarships
in the sociology of knowledge, social philosophy and the history
and sociology of science. The discussion considers first the
communal, crafts and social characteristics of educational
research. Three research models empirical-analytic, symbolic or
linguistic and critical sciences are given attention. The
discussion of the three research models is to illuminate how the
constellation of commitments, assumptions and practices
inter-relate to perform a paradigm giving different and conflicting
definitions to the meaning of educational theory and to the use of
the particular techniques of enquiry. The social role of
educational research and the researcher is also considered.
