Theory and Educational Research

More about the book

The book explores the interplay between education research and theory in U.S. history, arguing that both are essential for effective social explanation. Jean Anyon and her collaborators emphasize that empirical data should be contextualized within a broader theoretical framework to enhance its critical and liberatory potential. By demonstrating how research and theory inform one another throughout the inquiry process, the collection aims to provide deeper insights into educational policies and practices.
