Revisiting Joseph Schawb’s “The Practical” in the Aftermath of the Science Wars Robert Donmoyer Educación Science Wars qualitative methods Educational research The recent debates about what constitutes scientific research in Educa tion, on the one hand, and the so - called “paradigm wars” that got played out in the final quarter of the 20 th century, on the other, are more similar than different. At the center of both controversies was the relative worth of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Both controversies also distracted researchers’ from addressing the substantive problems that plague schools and other educational organizations. This paper attempts to move the field beyond the debates of the past and similar debates th at seem likely to occur in the future.
