Summary/Abstract: As a process of a great social complexity, education offers an unlimited field for knowledge and scientific research. Analyzed as a type of human interaction, educational research implies the establishment of a network of relationships between the researcher, the researched problem, the subjects of the research and the experimental environment. The pedagogic research has its own object, respectively pedagogic actions or matters which, as Emile Planchard shows, are dominated, determined, oriented, modified or, if it is the case, suppressed within the research. The pedagogic matters and actions refer to everything that contributes to the deliberate, intentional changes in education and influence the efficiency of the educational activity. The practice of pedagogical research can generate conflicts, on one hand, between the researchers` obligation to promote intellectual freedom, to contribute to the progress of science, to be just, honest, and, on the other hand, to treat only the subjects of knowledge as well as those to whom the knowledge is distributed.
