Contigencies of the Science and Technology of Teaching and Prebehavioristic Research Practices in Education.

Greer, R. Douglas

Educational Researcher, v12 n1 p3-9 Jan 1983

Describes behavior analysis as a radical approach for solving educational research problems that prebehavioristic social science has not solved; compares the methodology and assumptions of behavior analysis and conventional social science research; and suggests that misinformation has resulted in an irrational bias against behaviorism among educational researchers.
