    The document discusses Biglan's classification of academic disciplines into four categories: pure-hard, pure-soft, applied-hard, and applied-soft. Pure-hard disciplines like mathematics emphasize discoveries and explanations, while applied-hard fields such as engineering focus on products and techniques. Pure-soft areas including history value understanding and interpretation, and applied-soft domains like education aim to enhance professional practice through qualitative and quantitative case studies.
