The Role of Explanatory Models in Theory Building: In Response to LeDoux-Burlingame

Lutz, Frank W.

Educational Administration Quarterly, 11, 1, 72-78, Win 75

In educational research, explanatory models (such as the Iannaccone-Lutz model of school board change) are theoretical; they set concepts in relation one to another and are followed by verification-operational studies. They do not specify situational-operational indicators, so their prediction reliability may not be as good in one context as in another. (Author/WM)
