Description
Educational Research: An Unorthodox Introduction by Gert Biesta explores the broader social and political contexts of educational research. This book delves into fundamental questions about education, such as its purpose and meaning, and raises important issues often overlooked in more traditional introductions to research theory and practice. Biesta examines key topics that underpin any educational research project, including the role of theory, improving education, the nature of educational practice, and the history of educational research. Each chapter includes thought-provoking questions to stimulate further discussion. By addressing these fundamental concerns, Educational Research: An Unorthodox Introduction provides a fresh perspective on the purpose and scope of educational research, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a deeper understanding of this field.
