Burgos, Rosa Nidia Buenfil
International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift fuer Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue Internationale de l'Education, v45 n5-6 p461-478 Nov 1999
Argues that suppressing theoretical discussion in the educational field, especially in the area of curriculum policy for educational researchers, has political, ethical and epistemological implications that may damage knowledge production in the field, and may, consequently, damage the field itself. Looks at a case study of a prestigious education department at a Mexican university. Contains 45 references. (VWC)
