Pragmatism and Educational Research

This volume offers an overview of the pragmatic understanding of knowledge and the acquisition of knowledge, and its implications for the conduct of educational research. Pragmatism and Educational Research focuses primarily on the work of John Dewey, and examines the relationship between pragmatism and educational research both in relation to research methodology and to a pragmatic educational theory.

Gert J. J. Biesta is Professor of educational theory at the University of Exeter and is the editor of Studies in Philosophy and Education.
