Abstract

The significance of Popper and Kuhn reflects in the contribution to the development of methodology of scientific findings. Whereas Kuhn advocated scientific revolution and establishing paradigms, Popper was an advocate of hypothetico-deductivism. We give our own review of basic ideas on the development of science and methods of scientific research with the analysis and interpretation of their understanding. The development of science is immanent for the development of education, and in order for education to be progressive, one has to research, discover what it entails well developed methodology. Pluralism in finding is the basis of scientificalness and better understanding of phenomena and processes that we are surrounded with. With critical consideration of scientific paradigms in education and the development of pedagogy, it is necessary to discover new, proper truths that will contribute to the development of education and upbringing, as well as pedagogy as science.
