Peer reviewedNespor, Jan K.; Garrison, James W. – Educational Researcher, 1992
This paper takes issue with the arguments of S. Miller and M. Fredericks that postpositivist philosophy and concepts like incommensurability are irrelevant or of little value to educational research. It is argued that theory cannot be detached from practice and incommensurability is more than a matter of abstract concepts. (SLD)
