Pedagogical empiric research. Work notes

Abstract

This article explores, with a pioneering approach, an alternative pedagogical empiric research. In detail, it discloses a research model founded on the pragmatic approach introduced by Dewey and integrated with critical rationalism. This new epistemological approach, when compared with the hermeneutic research prospective proposed by Pourtois, results more advisable. The new approach for pedagogical empiric research, relayed on epistemological prospective, seems to result to be capable to overtake the relativism of the classic Research-Action model. The Research-Action model, in this prospective, becomes an instrument to identify useful solution in order to deal with educative problems.
