| Abstract | This paper offers a sympathetic, but critical, perspective on selected statistical methods relevant to both educational and psychological research. I argue that the classical statistical procedures used in this field should, where appropriate, be deployed in the service of a more liberal realistic conception of research. In this regard, it is claimed that the principal function of statistical methods is to help us detect robust empirical pheneomena. With this in mind, I suggest that exploratory factor analysis is a quasi-statistical method that serves an important role in the generation of new theory. A sceptical attitude to the commonly used methods of statistical significance testing isencouraged, together with the suggestion that Bayesian methods can serve a legitimate role in scientific inference. In addition, the regular use of exploratory data analytic methods is urged in conjunction with computer intensive resampling methods. Critical, but constructive, suggestions are made about recently developed meta- analytic and causal modelling methods. (DIPF/Abstract übernomen). |
