Action-Oriented Research in Education: A Comparative Study on A Western and An Islamic View
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC SOCIAL SCIENCES 29 (2):43-63 (2012)
Abstract
Comparative studies among cultures, particularly Western
and Eastern ones, are vital and necessary. In this essay, we are
presenting a comparison between Western and Islamic views.
The focus of this study is on action-oriented educational
research based on Charles Clark’s view as a more recent
action-oriented view on educational research. The comparison
between Clark’s view and the one we suggest that is inspired
by the Islamic view of human action and shows that there are
considerable commonalities between the two views as both of
them avoid the mechanistic orientation and take human action
into account. There are also differences between the two views
regarding the distinction between fact and value, as well as
the relation between means and ends in research.
