Considerations on Two Research Strategies in Pedagogy. Inductive and Deductive Reasoning on the Example of Adolescent Media Culture Research

At the beginning of the cognitive procedure, the choice of the research perspective is crucial. Whereas, in numerous pedagogy-field publications, authors almost automatically move from the problem to the methods and techniques of its solution. They do not inform about the chosen research perspective and present only a sketch of the adopted path of the research procedure. The paper presents selected theoretical foundations of scientific research on education. It discusses two inference strategies: inductive and hypothetico-deductive.
