Philosophy, Methodology and Action Research

The aim of this paper is to examine the role of methodology in action research. It begins by showing how, as a form of inquiry concerned with the development of practice, action research is nothing other than a modern 20th century manifestation of the pre-modern tradition of practical philosophy. It then draws in Gadamer's powerful vindication of the contemporary relevance of practical philosophy in order to show how, by embracing the idea of 'methodology', action research functions to sustain a distorted understanding of what practice is. The paper concludes by outlining a non-methodological view of action research whose chief task is to promote the kind of historical self-consciousness that the development of practice presupposes and requires.     

Educational Philosophy, Theory and Research: A Psychiatric Autobiography

Interpretations of educational theory as essentially empirical conceive education and teaching as skill-based technologies which can be scientifically researched. Those in the educational research community who resist this picture nevertheless often regard good educational practice as empirically researchable by more 'particularistic' means (for example, action research). However, this chapter argues that such empiricist approaches neglect or distort what are essentially moral rather than scientific or technical questions. On this view, education is essentially a moral practice, ethical deliberation lies at the heart of principled educational enquiry and the expertise of teachers is better conceived in terms of virtues rather than skills.     

物理教育哲学引论

物理教育哲学的催生是在现代物理观的基础上对物理教育进行深层次哲学反思的必然结果,文章旨在对物理教育研究提供一个不同以往的视角,从而对物理教育研究,对物理教育实践起到一定的指导作用,这种哲学反思主要表现在几个方面:物理教育哲学产生的必要性、理论基础、物理教育哲学本身概念的界定、有关物理教育哲学研究的主要问题。     

师专教育评价现代化的哲学、方法论和社会学理论--师专教育评价现代化理论构架之一

该文从现代哲学、方法论、社会学三个层面给师专教育评价行为寻找理论支撑.指出师专教育评价的哲学理论核心是把学生当作教育的主体;总结我国师专教育评价的五种方法,及其应遵循的原则;同时,通过研究社会对师专教育的期望和学校实际表现的差距,提出师专教育评价需要实现两个社会功能,即人才选拔功能和集团主体行为的调控功能.     

Philosophy of Educational Research

I will argue in what follows, following the insights of James Marshall on busno‐cratic power, that resistance to this new power is already well underway, and that this resistance is potentially problematic and potentially transgressive (in Marshall's words ‘a reflective reconstitution’) . The self is not only a chooser in busno‐cratic land, it is also re‐commodifying itself and in so doing, beginning to struggle at the limits of its commodified situation. I will argue that commodified selves, as much as they are constrained, are also potent sites for resistance. Part of that resistance is being waged in the terrain of the high stakes test, where the self that could ‘choose’ runs headlong into a product that definitively limits its range of choice. In order to engage critically with this resistance, I examine the cracks in the monolithic power of testing, cracks that point to the uncertainty of numbers and the ambivalent anxieties of test takers.     

Philosophy and Method in Educational Research

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the idea of method now shapes the self‐understanding in terms of which many educational researchers make sense of their work. It does so by comparing the modem ‘methodical’ approach to educational research with the premodern style of philosophical theorising it has largely replaced. On the basis of this comparison it shows how some important questions about the future of educational research begin to emerge.     

论现象学教育哲学

教育哲学在现象学哲学的观照下,衍生出了现象学教育哲学。现象学教育哲学在教育、教育学、教育哲学层面对传统发起问难。现象学教育哲学给教育带来了新气象,同时也需要不断克服发展困境,真正引领教育走向生活世界。     

现象图析学:一种中观层面的教育学研究方法论

现象图析学是瑞典哥德堡大学教育学系的研究团队发明并使用的一种教育研究方式,属于教育研究领域一种中观层面的方法论,拥有独特的本体论、认识论、方法论假设.现象图析学的本体论假设,即知识并非绝然的客观真理,而是个体观念与外部现实世界交互式作用的结果.认识论假设,即描述是获得个体对于具体事物观念的基本认识方式.方法论假设,即强调数据收集过程中的探索性特征以及数据分析过程中的情境性特征.现象图析学旨在对个体对于周遭世界体验的现象进行描述,涉及的主要内容包括一阶观点和二阶观点、差异、质的差异的(理解)方式、描述的分类等.近年来,教育研究领域使用现象图析学完成的经验性研究数量与日俱增,但其尚未引起我国大陆学者的高度重视.     

现象学教育哲学引论

本文解说了现象学视野里教育这诞生和演进的历史进程,评介了各派各家精要的理论观点,昭示了“面向事实本身”的学科研究的真本,追问了“教育困境”和“价值衰微”的深层机理,悟出了面积“生活世界”,“人生”和“生存关系”,才是喾产理论的构建的实质性源头。     

教育政策研究范式及其方法论探析

研究教育政策的研究范式具有重要意义。教育政策研究范式是具体的研究要素即研究主体、研究内容、研究过程及研究方法与研究方法论的有机结合。研究方法论包括直接方法论和间接方法论:直接方法论包括如何收集资料和如何分析资料两方面,它对教育政策研究范式起着直接的支撑作用。间接方法论是间接支撑教育政策研究范式研究的方法论,主要指的是西方传统的方法论即经验论、先验论和实践论,以及现象学、解释主义、批判理论、建构主义和符号互动等五个西方范式方法论。新范式方法论也为教育政策研究范式提供了间接方法论基础。     

相互倚赖和相互联系的统一的观念--杜威教育哲学方法论的核心

相互倚赖和相互联系的统一的观念是一种关系学说，也是杜威教育哲学的思想基础－－经验自然主义一元论的哲学思支撑。杜威用相互倚赖和相互联系的统一的观念作为方法论的指导，深刻地揭示了：在本质上，“教育就是经验的改造和改组”，进而他运用这一关系学说，从教育与人的关系、教育与环境的关系、教育的方法的性质和教育的连续性和发展性四个方面透析了他界定的教育本质。可以说，相互倚赖和相互联系的统一观念是杜威阐释教育本质的出发点和落脚点，是杜威教育哲学的核心，更是杜威教育哲学方法论的核心。     

教育领导研究方法论刍议

对于学科建设,方法论责无旁贷。方法论的缺位使整项研究失之毫厘谬以千里。教育领导研究在我国所走过的历程尽管短暂,却形成一条从人文科学研究范式经过自然科学研究范式直至当今流行的社会科学研究范式并走向综合的演变轨迹。但是,元框架的缺失往往导致研究只知其然而不知其所以然。以社会化为元框架,以校长专业发展为研究对象,本文试图为教育领导研究探索一条创新性的方法论路径。     

Philosophy and Educational Research: a reconsideration of epistemological boundaries

This paper examines what logically is or ought to be the relationship between philosophy and educational research. It explores the sense in which philosophising itself constitutes a form of research and notes the role of philosophy in addressing the ethical, epistemological and political issues which underpin other forms of educational research of an empirical character. The paper goes on to examine more fully the role of philosophy in empirical research. It explores the complex interplay of logic and psychology in the history and biography of the development of ideas and suggests that this picture argues for freedom of movement between the two in academic lives and institutions. It then takes a step further and, drawing on Quine and Kuhn, challenges the epistemological status of the dichotomy between a posteriori and a priori reasoning.
