Emery Hyslop-Margison Lecture
Associate Professor Emery Hyslop-Margison from the University of New Brunswick will be presenting a lecture entitled
Title: Scientific Paradigms and Falsification: Kuhn, Popper, and Problems in Education Research
Abstract: By examining the respective contributions of Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn to the philosophy of science, the author highlights some prevailing problems with the
methods and motivation of so-called scientific research in education. Hyslop-Margison
enumerates a number of reasons why such research, in spite of its limited tangible
return, continues to maintain epistemic credibility among colleges and faculties of
education. The author argues that when the identified problems are collectively
considered, they effectively reduce most claims emerging from scientifically designed
education research to the realm of deductively invalid hypotheses and hasty
generalizations insulated from academic criticism by various professional and
institutional interests.
