The text situates Q methodology historically and delves into its philosophical and technical aspects in relation to educational philosophy, both at collective and individual levels. It showcases Q methodology's relevance and value across numerous educational domains, including counsellor education, cultural foundations, instructional technology, leadership studies, education policy, teaching practices, educational psychology, assessment, measurement, and child studies. It further speculates on Q methodology's future in education research and offers insights for research across various educational fields.
