数学教育研究方法:多元并存 各尽其用

如今,任何一个具有独立思考能力的研究者都不会认同这样的说法,即:在教育研究领域中,实验研究是解决所有问题的"黄金标准".遗憾的是,这种"黄金标准"已经开始被某些教育政策和研究报告所过度青睐,同时其它的一些联邦法案和基金文案也开始竭力鼓吹.所有的学者、教师、以及研究者都应当站出来反对这种无理的要求.事实上,并不是今天才提出这样的反对意见,只是联邦政府的要员充耳不闻罢了.

Research Methods in Mathematics Education:Diversification and Multipurpose

Any thoughtful researchers today believe that experiments as the gold standard is impossible for addressing all the important questions in education research.Yet,because these designs are now required by federal education policies and reports and are being strongly encouraged in other federal legislation and funding initiatives.Researchers must devote time and energy to fighting these designs when they are inappropriate or irrelevant,which is often the case.Despite,such objections expressed for a long time,key policymakers in the federal government put these in one side.
