Finnish Doctoral Theses in Education in the 1900s.
Kivirauma, Joel
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v43 n3 p295-312 Sep 1999
Examined the shift in the educational-research paradigm in Finland as seen in 335 doctoral dissertations. Early in the century, educational history was the dominant topic, but by the 1950s the experimental paradigm took over. By the 1980s, factor analysis was a very common research method. In the 1990s, qualitative analyses account for one-third of dissertations. Contains 73 references. (SLD)
