Beyond Paradigms: Coherentism and Holism in Educational Research.

Lakomski, Gabriele, Ed.

International Journal of Educational Research, spec iss v15 n6 p499-597 1991

Six papers explore applications/implications of the unity thesis in discrete areas of educational research. The unity thesis argues that knowledge is all of a piece and allows for methodological diversity in educational research. Topics include a coherentist validity theory; policy analysis; hermeneutics; meta-analysis; and coherentist empiricism and paradigm commensurability. (SLD)
