Challenges for Interpretivist Inquiry.
Wignall, Rouleen
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v44 n3 p302-19 Fall 1998
Describes differences between systems-rationalist and subjectivist-interpretivist inquiry. Maintains that much of the enormous potential of subjectivist-interpretivist research could be lost due to the consequences of choices and compromises that researchers make in conceptualizing, proposing, and conducting subjectivist inquiry in the traditionally systems-rationalist academic community. Contains 68 references. (TD)
