Summary/Abstract: Contemporary pedagogy and didactics has still been marked by numerous controversies. The article considers the controversies essentially influencing the grounds of teaching process and its effects within pedagogic methodology. Before all it points out the differences between “conflicting” paradigms – qualitative and quantitative, as well as their reaches in didactical research. The paper considers the extent to which the applied methodological approaches managed to grasp complexity of teaching, to contribute to more grounded teaching process and more efficient didactic guidance. The importance of coherent approach when studying teaching process is emphasized, as well as the need to apply as diverse research strategies and procedures as possible in the scope of both paradigms, in order to gain new insights offering teaching process which would be better grounded.
