Rationality, Imagination and Advocacy in Educational Research.
Simpkins, William S.
Journal of Educational Administration, v28 n3 p48-66 1990
Creative projects, whether in the arts, literature, or social aspects of education, demand a mixture of the "subconscious" (imaginative) and "intellectual" (rational), not the rejection of one in favor of the other. Rationality and imagination are complementary in speculative research. An advocacy approach may be appropriate in certain cases. (20 references) (MLH)
