ESSAY ON: Interpretive and Traditional Research

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page paper assessing the process by which attitudes toward research methodologies change over time. It has been a shift for accommodation that has elevated qualitative research to the level of “real” research in only the past generation. Examination of qualitative research efforts in education done in the 1970s and 1980s to that produced today reveals the emergence of a discipline that today is accepted as being quite legitimate and valid in every respect. Of course quantitative methods have their place in investigations into learning processes, but qualitative methods are often better suited because of the very variability in the individuals comprising the object of study. The paper discusses Kuhn’s views on the origins of scientific revolutions, as well as Popper, Gadamer, Heidegger, Howard Gardner and Daniel Goldman. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
