Abstract
It is argued that much of what we now call 'educational research' is n ot truly so. Educational research is often construed on a bureaucratic model, or a model of 'theory' and 'practice', when in reality it requ ires certain very general intellectual and moral virtues. These can on ly flourish under certain preconditions: essentially, the establishmen t of permanent interdisciplinary teams which will handle the relevant questions with sufficient sophistication.
