Based on a criticism of the reserved observer status of empirical research this contribution deals with the issue of the specific interdependency between educational research and educational policy. Reviewing historical-systematic lines of argument, it shall be asked which role educational researchers could and should ascribe to themselves. After a repudiation of traditional lines of argument (value judgment debate, Positivismusstreit [positivism dispute]) the article advocates a reflexive-critical, but also reflexive-constructive positioning, regarding both the new constellation of actors in an increasingly political educational research and – due to an evidence-based governance – an at least partially depoliticized educational policy.
Keywords
