Summary
Educational theory has the obligation to remain open to interpretational theories and other practical theories. Research should also favor its development as a scientific construct and as an academic discipline, as research in education. The study justifies the plurality of theoretical research in education, and treats the epistemological problems that emerge from an axiological sense in education: to teach and to help the student learn, value, choose, and realize principles.
