在对行动研究的概念和操作步骤进行分析的基础上,笔者在专业课程的课堂教学中进行了促进大学生积极地课堂学习的行动研究。     

Technology Integration and the Classroom Learning Environment: Research for Action

This article describes initial results of a collaborative action research endeavor between a regional university and a local school (Grade 6 level) using learning environments research to monitor alignment of classroom learning activities with a constructivist viewpoint while integrating technology into the curriculum. Student perceptions as measured by the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES) were explored. Teacher logs, teacher interviews, and fieldnotes from team discussion groups and classroom observation provided further understanding of interactions in the classroom. A one-way analysis of variance in which the set of four classroom learning environment variables for the CLES, the set of five variables for each of the CLES-Mathematics and the CLES-Science and time of administration (prior to technology integration and after technology integration) yielded no significant changes in student perceptions of the classroom learning environment over the duration of the academic year. Interpretation of results led teachers to construct a new set of questions and a new plan of action to bring their classroom learning environment into closer alignment with a constructivist perspective for teaching and learning.

课堂教学研究二十年:回顾、反思与重建

如何在反思和总结近20年我国课堂教学研究历程的基础上,确立当前课堂教学研究的视野、主题与方法,是我国课堂教学深化改革必须首先解决的研究方法论问题。立足于当代中国社会发展、课堂教学发展和人自身的发展需要,为了克服课堂教学研究在方法论上的种种局限,当前课堂教学研究需要置换理论视野和拓展理论基础,转换研究主题和扩展研究论域,创新研究方法和提升研究水平。     

课程行动研究：方法论视角的探讨

课程行动研究是伴随着教师即研究者运动重新兴起的一种研究方式，在实践中有多种表现形式。它有着与实证主义不同的方法论基础，深受现象学、解释学、批判理论等哲学思潮的影响，注重场地研究和实际问题的解决。这一研究方式对课程变革、教师专业能力的提升有重要意义。     

Learning Environments: The Case for Evidence-Based Practice and Issue-Driven Research

In his thought-provoking review of current trends in educational research, Winn offers advice to practitioners and to researchers concerning the role of computer-based simulations in education (Winn, W. (2000). Educ. Psychol. Rev. 14, 331–351). In this critique, I offer two proposals for consideration by those who wish to make practical recommendations about learning environments: (1) Recommendations for practice should be based on specifically relevant evidence. (2) The available methods for collecting evidence should not exclude controlled experiments; instead, researchers should be free to choose among experimental or observational methods, use quantitative or qualitative measures, focus on artificial or naturalistic settings, and invent new techniques as needed. In short, I join the call for evidence-based practice and issue-driven research.     

Research into Practice: Current Trends in Educational Technology Research: The Study of Learning Environments

Educational technology research has passed through a number of stages, focusing, in turn, on the content to be learned, the format of instructional messages, and the interaction between computers and students. The field is now concerned with the study of learning in complete, complex, and interactive learning environments. These environments allow both the simulation of experiences that students might have in the real world and also the creation of compelling experiences that cannot normally be experienced directly. Learning environments also often allow students to communicate their own ideas with the use of a variety of symbol systems. These environments are also frequently inhabited by more than one person, making learning within them a social activity where learning is distributed among both people and artifacts. Finally, these learning environments are complex. Studying how they contribute to learning therefore requires research methods other than controlled experiments. This paper reviews research on learning environments to give both an historical perspective on educational technology research and a selective view of the current state of the discipline. It concludes by identifying implications for both practice and future research.     

行动研究视域中的教学知识观:挑战与回应

近些年来,行动研究的发展对教学论研究产生了不可忽视的影响.行动研究隐含着相对主义、实用主义、工具主义、操作主义等知识假设,对教学论研究提出了严峻挑战.正确对待行动研究、坚守教学论的理论品格、保持理论与实践之间的适当张力是教学论研究应对挑战的基本策略.     

Participatory Action Research and Critical Race Theory: Fueling Spaces for Nos-otras to Research

Drawing on the intersections of a justice oriented participatory action research and critical race theory, this essay explores the possibilities for research embedded in the theoretical, ethical and methodological overlaps between the two. Using the Echoes project as a case study, a participatory collective of intentionally diverse youth from New York and New Jersey brought together in the long shadow of Brown, to document and perform educational injustice in their schools, the essay asks social scientists what it means to engage research that takes seriously the idea of mutual implication, or what Anzaldúa (Borderlands/La Frontera, The New Mestiza, 1999) calls nos-otras—whereby research is designed to seek knowledge at the nexus of everyday lived experience and intricate social systems; to ask questions that allow individuals to hold multiple, even opposing, identities; to provoke analyses that requires historical re-memory; to destabilize naturalized power hierarchies. Research that calls for socially engaged questions that demand to be answered collectively through research and action.

当代行动研究的自由转身:走向整体主义

行动研究在半个多世纪以来的复兴历程中,虽然遭遇了科学实证主义偏狭的质疑与压迫,但是却以文化发展的阔大胸怀报之以扬弃性的接纳与反哺。研究方法论发展史表明,行动研究在快速发展中已经出人意料地吸纳并融汇了被人视为异质性甚至对立面的思辨研究、量化研究与质性研究,正在超越早先被定位为一种研究范式的限定,实现从保守观到自由观的转身,努力成长为研究方法论的一种当代整体主义形态。行动研究作为当代形态的研究方法论,一方面在历史生成中努力为自身建构逻辑合理性,它以现象学的多层世界观为本,以文化的多元认识论为根,以系统科学的分析—综合辩证法为茎,孕育起了本体论、认识论与方法论统一的整体主义哲学原理;另一方面在现实开发中努力为应用彰显新颖的方法论构成,拓展了有结构和无结构并存而交织的复杂多变的情境问题对象,形成了开放与发展互促而累积的动态系统的具体方法工具,孕育了革新行动、生成知识与培养类主体的多元和谐的价值追求目的。     

教育学研究方法反思：知识论和学习论的视角

教育学的研究方法问题一直是学术界关注的热点。从知识论和学习论视角出发,探讨隐喻现象研究方法和协作式探究方法对教育学的启示,为拓展新的教育学研究方法提供了可能。     

论外语教学行动研究的重要性

This article mainly gives a brief introduction to the general idea of Action Research and the wayshow it can be applied in the foreign languages teaching. A very practical teaching approach can be derived fromthe study of Action Research,and so we can do something better to manage how to teach to learn and how tolearn to teach well in the real situation.     

Arts‐Based Educational Research: The Challenges of Social Media and Video‐Based Research Methods in Communication Design Education

This article discusses the practical and ethical challenges and benefits of using social media and video‐based research methods – also known as Photovoice – to investigate contemporary Communication Design education. The two visual research methods discussed include the social media mobile application Snapchat^® and participant‐generated GoPro^® video filming. The investigation focused on understanding students’ on‐the‐ground, lived experiences of studio learning within two distinctive higher education case study settings in the United Kingdom and Australia. This study employed Participatory Action Research (PAR) as an inquiry process and incorporated a methodological framework involving a combination of narrative inquiry, visual Participatory Design (PD) and visual ethnography. The findings of this study revealed the impact of specialised studio and classroom‐based Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) on student learning and engagement as the participants expressed differing responses to their own learning and community of practice at each site. The choice of arts‐based educational research methods used for this study allowed the relationships between place, lived experience, and community to be explored. Students, in effect, became investigators of their own practice through engagement in a rigorous set of visual methods, which placed the tools directly into their hands.     

远程学习理论与实践的脱节--远程学习研究应关注的重点:互动

当代的远程教育理论研究重心正逐步以距离和分离为核心向以学习为核心转变,对远程教育过程的研究从教与学各自过程的分析转向对教与学综合过程的分析,由强调学生独立学习到强调教师的参与,特别是教与学的互动成为研究的热点。我国的广播电视大学采用的远程媒体教育和面授教育相结合的模式是可行的,并为保障电大庞大数量规模的学生的质量起到了主要作用。但电大现行的远程学习模式也需要探索和改革。电大要以学生的学习为核心,借助认知心理学理论,构筑教与学互动的远程学习模式。
