THE WISDOM OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY ON EDUCATION.

The article discusses the two types of scientific inquiry in education. The author suggested that educational researchers should turn away from elucidatory inquiry and should not strive to make research on science education. The understanding and explanation of the phenomena in which this type of inquiry is directed, should be left to the social and natural sciences. Instead, the author preferred the evaluative inquiry of educational developments, which are the creations of masterful teachers inspired by what reliable knowledge exists in psychology, sociology and other sciences.
