The term educology means ''the fund of knowledge about the educational process''. Educology consists of discourse about education. The discourse is made up of warranted assertions, valid explanatory theories and sound justificatory arguments about the educational process. This conception of educology derives from the common usage of the term by educologists in articles, journals and books published since the 1950s.〔See: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 〕 ==Use from the 1950s through the 1970s== The term ''educology'' has been in use in the English language since the seminal work in educology by Professor Lowry W. Harding〔Lowry Harding published four works in educology. They have a light hearted tone, but there is a serious underlying message about the necessity to clarify the distinction between the educational process and knowledge about that process: * * * * 〕 at Ohio State University in the 1950s and Professor Elizabeth Steiner ()〔Elizabeth Steiner Maccia published under the names of Elizabeth Steiner and Elizabeth Steiner Maccia: * * * * * * * * * * 〕 and her husband, Professor George Maccia,〔George Maccia made a number of important contributions to the development of educology, including: * * * * 〕 at Indiana University in the 1960s. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, John B. Biggs〔Prof. John B. Biggs of Newcastle University (Australia) coined the term ''educology'' in 1975 in a paper ("Professional Development or Practice") presented to the Annual Conference of the South Pacific Association for Teacher Education (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia) (cited in ) and used the term again in: * * 〕 and Rachel Elder 〔Rachel Elder coined the term ''educology'' in the late 1960s and used it in an unpublished paper written for Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development (San Francisco) "Three Educologies" (mimeographed, 1971). She used the term in the sense of ideologies about education in order to stimulate students at the University of California, Berkeley, in the activist days of the late 1960s to clarify their own ideologies as a basis for action in the task of teaching. Elder's work is cited in 〕 coined the term independently of Harding, Steiner and Maccia. Other researchers in the English speaking world who worked on clarifying the implications of the concept of ''educology'' in the 1970s and 1980s included (James E.
