Dumbing Down Educational Research.
Wilson, John
Educational Research, v45 n2 p119-42 Sum 2003
Wilson discusses ways in which educational research is rendered ineffective, stemming from distortion of the concepts of "education" and "research." Includes three commentaries: Harry Brighouse discusses factors impeding research, John White contests the definition of education, and Marian Sainsbury argues that educational research should not be restricted to learning outcomes. Wilson's reply is included. (SK)
