Odnos kvalitativne i kvantitativne metode istraživanja školskih udžbenika
Relationship Between Qualitative And Quantitative Method In Textbook Research

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the possibility of applying qualitative method in textbook analysis. It studies the cognitive principles of science and their methodological grounding. In the first part of the paper, the authors start from the assumption that the principle of objectivity requires the usage of quantitative semantics exclusively. Con- tent analysis, understood as a combination of qualitative and quantitative method, is discussed in the second part of the paper. The example of specific analysis of democ- ratic contents in secondary school textbooks is the subject of the third part of the pa- per. The fourth part of the paper includes an overview of the limitations of language analysis as one kind of quantitative method, as well as of the insufficiency of quanti- tative measurement. These limitations can be overcome by the procedure of meth- odological “cooperation”.
