Abstract | The article focuses on developments within the history of education to examine questions about the role of humanities research in the study of education - an issue which has plagued education scholarship since its inception. In this article, the author demonstrates that scholars of education have sought to base their work on factual or "scientific" authority since the inception of the discipline at the start of the twentieth century. Early students of education, however, were less concerned with the evolution of these academic standards and more interested in how humanistic studies of education might be relevant to their everyday encounters in the classroom. After tracing the development of this tension between academic and presentist concerns, the author reveals how this conflict has dramatically reemerged in the field of history since the late 1960s. She argues that this historiography illuminates a broader tension between scientific and humanistic concerns in the field of education and seeks to reconcile this dualism. Asserting that educators and researchers need both scientific and humanistic knowledge in order to study education with sufficient power to support sensible policies and effective practices the author concludes that humanistic and scientific perspectives must work in partnership, complementing one another with their differences.
