This paper discusses three scientific traditions (positivist, interpretivist and critical) as they inform methodological and strategic choices within a USAID‐funded ‘Improving Educational Quality’ project in Ghana, Guatemala and Mali. These scientific traditions are shown not only to frame choices in posing research questions and selecting data‐gathering and analysis strategies, but also to orient decisions about approaches for linking research to policy and practice and for establishing relationships between researchers and policy‐makers and practitioners. Special consideration is given to these issues as they inform classroom‐anchored research undertaken by and for educational personnel in ‘developing’ countries. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
