Dersin Amacı : This course aims at enabling the students to have philosophical perspectives in educational research and analyse the conceptual and philosophical problems
the ELT research.
Dersin İçeriği : The course gives a presentation of the philosophical and methodological problems in educational research. The focus is on two themes: the structure-actor
problem in the human sciences with special focus on its relevance for educational research and the problem of evidence in educational research and the role it
plays in relation to educational practice. The relation between an understanding of the human sciences based on a conception of the subject as a thinking,
willing, feeling and acting entity and a conception based on a determination or shaping of the subject and its actions by formal or social structures that exist
before or independently of human actions and thoughts – this relation that often takes the form of an opposition – has been extremely significant in the last
hundred years. Similarly we find an important dimension in our understanding of the educational sciences in relation to the types of evidence involved and thus
a discussion of the empirical basis or import and the way empirically founded results can influence or justify certain educational practices.
