Grade Level(s): 9, 10, 11, 12

Theme(s): Exploring Horizons

Excerpt:
"Administrators and planners are often guilty of academo-centrism, that is, they focus to such an extent on theories generated by their own logic and methodology that they fail to recognise the existence of other logics. In practice this can produce a very distorted view of society reality. The author illustrates how a truer picture can be obtained when the purpose of the researchers converges with that of the people in the community studied."
