Instructional Development as a Social Movement: An Illustration of Analogical Theorizing.

Mellon, Constance A.

Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, v31 n4 p187-99 Win 1983

Examines the application of naturalistic inquiry to the field of instructional development and suggests that such inquiry needs to be informed by research traditions in sociology. Drawing on social movement theory, an example of analogical theorizing is presented illustrating how this theory can be applied to exploration of instructional development. (Author/MBR)
