Summary:

"What is research and who is a researcher? Why engage in research and what can be its value? How do we come to know what lies beyond our horizons? This book opens the door for wondering about these and other questions pertaining to the nature and process of educational research. It offers an insightful and detailed account of Western and non-Western philosophical traditions and perspectives on reality, knowledge, and values. These accounts form a paradigm - a system of inquiry, a model, or a way of knowing. Empirical-analytic, pragmatic, interpretive, critical, poststructuralist, and transcendental paradigms are distinguished as an alternative to a quantitative-qualitative typology of paradigms in educational research. This book can be used for graduate courses in theoretical foundations of research and research methodology. Second edition features several new chapters that represent examples of doctoral students' research projects illustrating various systems of inquiry"-- Provided by publisher.
