Scientific research in education / Committee on Scientific Principles for Education Research ; Richard J. Shavelson and Lisa Towne, editors.
This book describes the similarities and differences between scientific inquiry in education and scientific inquiry in other fields and disciplines and provides a number of examples to illustrate these ideas. Its main argument is that all scientific endeavors share a common set of principles, and that each field--including education research--develops a specialization that accounts for the particularls of what is being studied.
