The Stories Educational Researchers Tell about Themselves.
Smith, John K.
Educational Researcher, v26 n5 p4-11 Jun-Jul 1997
The exchange among M. McKenna, R. Robinson, and J. Miller and C. Edelsky about language instruction is a starting point for an examination of what is behind the current fragmentation in educational research. It is argued that this fragmentation results from the use of different vocabularies to tell stories about research. (SLD)
