Guba, Egon G.; Lincoln, Yvonna S. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1982
Five major differences between the rationalistic and naturalistic paradigms of inquiry are accounted for: the nature of reality; the nature of the inquirer-object relationship; the nature of truth statements; assumptions about causal relationships; and the role of values within disciplined inquiry. Thirty-one sources are appended. (EJS)
