From Paradigm Wars to Disputatious Community.

Paulston, Rolland G.

Comparative Education Review, v34 n3 p395-400 Aug 1990

Criticizes Psacharopoulos for distorting the legitimate scope of intellectual work in comparative education, reducing paradigm framing choices to functionalist/positivist orthodoxy, and unconvincingly presenting hypothesis testing as a means to solve educational problems. Suggests the benefits of multiple research perspectives on problems. (SV)
