Educational Research: the State of Sweden and the Australian 2.2 world

Current tendencies in educational research in Sweden are presented and compared to Australia. We here refer to; organization of research, research allocation, publication patterns, and assessments of research qualities. Different trajectories of educational research were identified, where Australian research was organized as a field of study, while Swedish research had a disciplinary organization, which now is eroding into a situation more close to the Australian one. In other aspects the Australian and Swedish trajectories seem to harmonize, except for the fact that RAEs in Sweden are initiated and run by the universities themselves. There are also some differences in how research qualities are assessed and the outcomes of these assessments. Given these findings different strategies to deal with the current situation are discussed.     

关于中小学教育科研的几个问题

当前基层学校开展中小学教育科研或校本研究存在六大问题:(1)中小学教育科研即等于做课题研究;(2)"两张皮"现象;(3)与教育教学任务冲突、矛盾增大、增多;(4)课题获得不均衡现象突出;(5)支撑条件不到位,而多重机构及其指挥的"负面"作用显现;(6)"写科研"或"写研究"的问题。通过梳理,客观呈现基层学校对中小学教育科研的认识和看法;通过分析,则发现这些问题的根源,早已存在于中小学教育科研或校本研究的开展起点上,并通过与宏观环境和科研体制的共振而将问题激发了出来。也可以说,在中小学教育科研或校本研究的目标和定位上,就已存在了一定的错位。     

高等教育管理论文研究方法的统计分析与反思——以1999—2012年人大复印资料《高等教育》上刊登文章为样本

以人大复印资料《高等教育》统计1999—2012年刊登的关于高等教育管理方面文章330篇作为分析对象,结果发现我国教育管理中的研究方法逐步受到重视,但是仍存在研究方法单一、方法综合较差,思辨气息浓郁、实证研究较少,方法意识不强、研究规范不严等问题。反思其原因主要是深刻的历史文化渊源;高等教育界对研究方法的系统重视不够;高等教育管理研究本身所固有的复杂性。因此,当下及未来的高等教育管理研究方法应该逐步走向融合,呈现多元并存的趋势,应该加强学术规范,构建学术共同体。     

中国数学教育研究方法调查研究--基于《数学教育学报》（2011-2015）的统计分析

运用内容分析法对《数学教育学报》（2011—2015）刊载的研究性论文的研究方法从5个维度进行了系统的量化分析。研究发现：中国数学教育研究最常用的研究方法是理论思辨、统计调查和内容分析,叙事研究、田野调查等质性研究方法较为罕见;实证研究正逐渐成为中国数学教育研究的主流,然而实证研究以量化研究为主,质性研究和混合研究较少;使用数学方法研究数学教育已经成为人们的共识,但使用的数学方法主要是简单统计;描述型研究在中国数学教育研究中占有绝对的主导地位,关联型研究和干预型研究严重不足。最后,针对中国数学教育研究方法中存在的问题提出了若干建议。

Research Activity and Research Culture in Academic Teachers' Colleges in Israel

This paper discusses the importance of research activity in academic teachers' colleges in Israel and analyses how this activity is organised. It investigates the contribution of research to development of professional staff and the state of research activities at teacher training colleges. Major obstacles impeding research at the colleges are pointed out and conditions affecting research performance are indicated. The character of the actual research activity is analysed and five different models are specified. The paper focuses on the research committees and research units, which are the central organisational tools for research development, by analysing and describing the range of research culture in the colleges: from absent to optimal. The paper contributes a theoretical and an applied framework that may support the further development of research at the colleges.     

The role of research education coordinators in building research cultures in doctoral education

The development of cultures of support has become important in programmes for the preparation of research students. The paper draws on in-depth interviews with 21 research education coordinators from Australian and UK institutions to identify the strategies that they use to build research cultures and integrate research students into them. Students’ research cultures are not always linked to departmental research cultures more generally. Local contexts and conditions and staff (including supervisors’) attitudes are found to be critical in how research education coordinators respond and what is considered possible in order to ensure that research students are involved in research cultures.     

The association of thinking styles with research agendas among academics in the social sciences

Research agendas are understudied, despite being key to academic knowledge creation. The literature suggests that the ways that academics determine their research agendas are conditioned by individual, organisational and environmental characteristics. This study explores the cognitive aspects of academics' research agendas in the social sciences by using a theory on thinking styles as an analytical framework. The results suggest that the research agendas of academics in the social sciences are significantly associated with their thinking styles. These findings aid understanding of how academics set their research agendas. This study also represents an important landmark in research on thinking styles, focusing on academic research work as a potential venue for further studies. The findings are relevant for policymakers, research funding agencies, university administrators and academics because they have implications for academic research development processes, outcomes, and for research and academic identity socialisation during doctoral studies.     

定性定量法在翻译研究中的应用

定性与定量研究是方法论体系中两种主要的方法,它们周密的钻研历程在自然科学与人文社会学科中被广泛应用。定性研究与定量研究二者并不是孤立存在的,而是互为补充、互相支持的。前者回答了"是什么"的问题,后者回答了"有多少"的问题。通过概括性地介绍定性与定量研究,分析二者的对比和发展态势以及如何被应用到翻译研究中,可以使研究者在研究中根据自身需要,更好地选择合适的方法,并对自己的研究有更明确的认识和把握。     

“悬置”与“离我远去”:教育学质性研究价值中立立场分析与批判

价值中立是质性研究倡导并遵循的重要研究原则,教育现象学研究与教育人类学研究是当前教育学质性研究的代表性研究方法.其中"悬置"与"离我远去"分别是二者坚持价值中立的基本措施.教育研究是一种价值判断与价值表述,上述措施在实施中很难或者不能兑现,所以,质性研究的价值中立是教育学追求"科学"的一种努力但并不能实现.

科研过程、科研能力以及科研训练的特征分析

科研和科研训练是研究生教育特别是博士教育阶段的重要功能．对其过程和特征进行分析对于推进研究生教育实践,提高研究生培养质量都具有积极的意义。科研过程由于其知识对象具有专业化、前沿性及综合性的特征,相应地也具有专业性、探索性、批判反思性的特征。科研能力可以大致分为认知能力或者说心智水平、实践操作技能和缄默知识三种类型。科研训练必须在实际的研究过程中训练,在具体的学术环境中潜移默化,同时科研训练的规训特征也要求训练程序的严格性和程序性。     

Validity in mixed methods research in education: the application of Habermas' critical theory

Mixed methods approach has developed into the third methodological movement in educational research. Validity in mixed methods research as an important issue, however, has not been examined as extensively as that of quantitative and qualitative research. Additionally, the previous discussions of validity in mixed methods research focus on research design and procedure, rather than validity per se. This paper presents another perspective by using philosophical and methodological insights generated from Habermas’ critical theory, especially his Theory of Communicative Action and validity claims. Theoretical assumptions and how they are consistent with principles of mixed methods research are introduced. Three types of validity claims are explained with an example and how they are applied to understanding validity in mixed methods research is further discussed. This paper concludes with implications for educational research and future directions.

A methodological morass? How we can improve quantitative research in distance education

This article is about the quantitative research practices and methodologies that are used in distance education (DE). It begins with an analysis and assessment of a segment of the DE research literature, DE/classroom comparison studies, based on a recently completed meta-analysis of that literature from 1985 to 2002. Overall, the 232 studies reviewed were judged to be of poor methodological quality and severely lacking in critical information about research practices. Studies of synchronous and asynchronous DE are discussed separately and recommendations are made for improving designs and measures within these patterns. Suggestions for future quantitative research areas are provided. In discussing these findings, we recognize that high-quality research is being conducted in the field and that qualitative forms of research contribute greatly to the mosaic of evidence that is the base of available knowledge about DE. Finally, three organizations, the What Works Clearinghouse (USA), EPPI-Centre (UK), and the Campbell Collaboration (international), all devoted to improving the quality of research and research synthesis in education, are described briefly; suggestions are made as to how their philosophies and approaches for judging the worthiness of research evidence can be used to improve DE research.     

民族教育学与教育人类学:取代还是并存

在教育理论和实践中,尽管民族教育学和教育人类学有着密切的联系,但两者不能相互等同或相互取代,因为两者在词源、产生的历史背景、研究成果、重点考察的对象、研究的视角、研究方法、研究观念和研究目的及研究功能方面均不同,所以不能把两者相混淆或在同一层次上使用.
