关于教育经济学对象与方法的思考

教育经济学的对象与方法是教育经济学学科建设的基本问题,具有重要的研究价值。教育经济学主要是运用经济学的理论和方法,研究教育与经济的相互关系及其变化的发展规律,研究教育领域中经济投入和产出规律的科学。教育经济学以马克思、恩格斯确立的辩证唯物论和历史唯物论为基本研究方法,在具体研究中采用现代经济学的基本方法,包括实证分析与规范分析、定量分析与定性分析、静态分析与动态分析、个量分析与总量分析、比较分析等方法。从学科性质的角度来看,教育经济学属于经济学的分支学科。

Objectives and Methodologies of Education Economy

The clarification of the objectives and methodologies of Education Economy(EE) are the basic issues in the discipline and have a significant research value.EE chiefly adopts the theories and methodologies of general economy and studies the mutual relationship between education and economy and the developing trend,a subject that focuses particularly on the co-variation law of economic investment in production.To be specific,EE sticks to the dialectical and historical materialism approach as its general research method and at the same time adopts the basic approaches of modern economy in practical research.The latter include empirical and normative analysis,quantitative and qualitative analysis,static and dynamic analysis,micro and macro analysis,comparative analysis and others.And from the perspective of the discipline nature,EE is a sub-branch of economy.
