Why Generalisability is not Generalisable

Journal of Philosophy of Education, Oct 31, 2006

ABSTRACT In the United States there is an increasing tendency to view the only educational resear... more ABSTRACT In the United States there is an increasing tendency to view the only educational research worthy of federal funding as that which is designed as an experiment using randomised controls. One of the foundational assumptions underlying this research design is that the results of such research are meant to be generalisable beyond any particular research study. The purpose of this paper is to historicise the assumption of generalisability by explaining the ways in which it is a particularly modern research project. By historicising generalisability, I show the ways in which the current research standards are products of culturally specific historical circumstances. In other words, generalisability is a local phenomenon and not generalisable to other times and places.

However, food was a hot topic for pre-modern philosophers, and postmodern attention to the educational philosophy of food has increased greatly in the past decade. Bradley Rowe's essay provides a rich and nuanced analysis that educates us about the ethics of eating and our encounters with animals.

Knowledge of educational psychology is assessed on examinations for teacher licensure in most jurisdictions, and understanding of psychology is assumed to be indispensible for effective teaching at all levels. Traditional university-based teacher-certification pathways have recently come under attack from various socio-political sectors, and the curriculum for teacher preparation is among the most contested issues. This article examines the lure of psychology for teacher education.
