Abstract	"Research in educational science is currently experiencing a very favourable period as a result of the priority being placed on education in societies world-wide. Certain issues and trends have emerged in all countries in a similar fashion, though at different times and under different conditions depending on the specific local context. This article outlines these common issues in the light of four guiding principles of educational research: theoretical approach, methodology, objectives and practices, and relations with external entities. Finally, the challenges and obstacles that will apparently shape the future of educational research are identified." In detail this means: 1) theory: basic vs. applied research; 2) methods: quantitative vs. qualitative, interdisciplinary vs. multidisciplinary research; 3) objectives: contract vs. voluntary research, research for creation vs. research for circulation; 4) organization: university research vs. research in other centres, globalization vs. localization, short-term vs. long-term research; 5) relations: researchers vs. politicians, researchers vs. educators.
