Abstract
The problem of being ‘rigorous’ and ‘systematic’ in educational research is not treated in substantial or genetic terms, with recourse to analytical categories of an epistemological or logical nature, isolating the question from economic and political factors that condition the material existence of an area of specific research. It is instead on the analysis and interpretation of these latter factors that this article will focus. Educational research is a subset of a wider social system, and so moves within a ‘horizon of connections’. We need to examine these connections, thereby avoiding considering it as an expression of an absolutely immediate order.
