CHIZZOTTI, Antonio. The educational research and the "evidence-based scientific research" movement. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.2, pp.329-342. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.10i2.0003.

This paper analyzes a movement of criticism towards humanities and educational research. The 'evidence-based scientific research' movement proclaims itself fit to raise the educational research to scientific level and criticizes severely the scientific production in the area, on the presumption of the exemplary validity of experimental research to achieve scientific forum and conduct public policies for education on the basis of scientific evidence. The movement admits an exemplary model of the research derived from the medical area and adopts the experimental and quasi-experimental research as single pattern of investigation, of positivist extraction, unaware of the advances of qualitative research in the humanities and in education.

Palabras clave : Educational Research; Scientific Research; Evidence-Based Research.
