  2. (1 other version)The common school.Richard Pring - 2007 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 41 (4):503–522.
    The paper is concerned with the conflicting principles revealed respectively by those who argue for the common school and by those who seek to promote a system of schools that, though maintained by the state, might reflect the different religious beliefs within the community. The philosopher, John Dewey, is appealed to in defence of the common school, though similar ideas are reflected in the developing comprehensive ideal in Britain.

    The ‘False Dualism’ of Educational Research.Richard Pring - 2000 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 34 (2):247-260.
    Educational research is being subject to damaging criticism from both outside and within the research community. The external critics are impatient of research which does not give evidence-based answers to the questions they ask. The internal critics condemn the very research which seeks to provide those answers. These differences are reflected in the rigid distinction between quantitative and qualitative research. This paper questions the philosophical positions on which such a distinction relies.

  4. The importance of being thorough: On systematic accumulations of 'what works' in education research.Alis Oancea & Richard Pring - 2008 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 42 (s1):15-39.
    This article outlines and appraises the considerable criticism of educational research, both in the United Kingdom and in North America, and shows how it has pointed to a narrowing of what counts as good or worthwhile research in the policy discourse. In particular, this involved prioritising research that purports to show clearly and unmistakably 'what works', and institutionalising this view of research in a range of centres that receive official approval. The article, though recognising the fruit of such centres, challenges (...)

    The virtues and vices of an educational researcher.Richard Pring - 2001 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 35 (3):407–421.
    This essay explores the contentious relationship between codes of ethics in research and the range of virtues that characterise ethical researchers in the face of the temptations that they face. I argue that the politics of research transforms our ethical appraisals of character and context. Researchers’ duties towards research sponsors, the research team, and university or school, all ought to be brought to bear in particular judgements of ethically sensitive issues where there is no single or undisputed currency. This re-appraisal (...)

    Return to the crossroads: Maritain fifty years on.David Carr, John Haldane, Terence McLaughlin & Richard Pring - 1995 - British Journal of Educational Studies 43 (2):162-178.
    Writing a little over a decade ago of developments in educational philosophy, R. F. Dearden remarked on the dearth of alternative approaches to that of conceptual analysis which predominated, at least in Anglophone cultures, at that time. One possible avenue of enquiry which he identified as conspicuously absent in this respect was the development of a distinctively Catholic approach to problems of educational philosophy, observing that a work of the mid-war years, Maritain's Education at the Crossroads, appeared to be well (...)

    The community of educated people.Richard Pring - 1995 - British Journal of Educational Studies 43 (2):125-145.
    Abstract:The article draws upon the work of two people, Lawrence Stenhouse and Derek Morrell, who in the 1960s offered a vision of education based upon, first, the moral conviction that a liberal and humane education was essential for all and for society, second, the belief in a curriculum agenda in which such moral conviction might be reconciled with moral uncertainty, and, third, the recognition of the indispensability of a democratic approach to making that reconciliation possible. The article shows how that (...)

    Liberalism, Education and Schooling: Essays by T.M. Mclaughlin.David Carr, Mark Halstead & Richard Pring (eds.) - 2008 - Imprint Academic.
    Terry McLaughlin's sudden death in 2006 deprived the academic world of a leading British philosopher of education, and the author himself of the opportunity to publish a planned synthesis of his work. This volume brings together a collection of his essays from a variety of leading journals. They have been selected by former colleagues well-acquainted with his thinking to celebrate his work and make it available in a convenient and accessible form.

    Fiction written under oath? Essays in philosophy and educational research.Richard Pring - 2006 - Journal of Philosophy of Education 40 (1):125–126.
    The first chapter of this book is entitled ‘A “biographical positioning”’. It gives an account of philosophical seminars held at the Institute of Education nearly forty years ago, where Professor Bridges first developed his interest in, and talent for, philosophy of education. These were indeed seminal, guided by Richard Peters, Paul Hirst, Robert Dearden, John and Patricia White, and Ray Elliot, and influencing a generation of philosophers of education who were strategically employed in university departments and (then) colleges of education.

    Subject‐centred Versus Child‐centred Education—a false dualism [1].Richard Pring - 2008 - Journal of Applied Philosophy 6 (2):181-194.
    ABSTRACT Changing fashions in how the school curriculum is organised are sometimes seen as a regular shift from child‐centred to subject‐centred education, and back again. At the present moment, the British Government is enforcing ‘subject‐centredness’, partly as a reaction to criticism of declining standards attributed to less rigorous child‐centred approaches. On the other hand, other Government initiatives hark back to child‐centred principles. This apparent paradox is partly resolved through a closer analysis of one particular tradition of ‘child‐centred’ education, and of (...)
