MORE ON METHODOLOGIES, STAGES, AND ANALOGIES:

A REPLY TO MACEDO

Authors

  • Angela M. B. Biaggio

Abstract

This article constitutes a reply to Macedo's (1985) comments
on my earlier article entitled " In defense of experimentation: Resorting
to Piaget..." (Biaggio, 1985). Common viewpoints are mentioned
and a reply to Macedo's objections is presented, stressing that an analogical
relationship is not an equality relationship, and that methods are not
arbitrary and may vary in degree of precision. The possibility that
methods more advanced than the experimental may exist is discussed
in the light of research on post-formal stages of cognitive development.
