Educating Persons: Putting "Education" Back into Educational Research (The 1995 SERA Lecture).
Pring, Richard
Scottish Educational Review, v27 n2 p101-12 Nov 1995
Questions the validity of much current educational research in Great Britain, suggesting that researchers lose sight of the "educational" in search of the "fundable." Offers examples of how education is missing from the purposes and language of research into "effective schools" and into the "learning society." Suggests that educational research has forgotten the heart of education--personal development. (SV)
