我国教育技术学学科研究方法回顾与现实反思——基于1999-2020年教育技术学博士学位论文的分析

Review and Realistic Reflection on the Research Methods of Educational Technology in China:Based on 1999-2020 Educational Technology Doctoral Dissertation Analysis

通过以我国教育技术学的研究历程为基础,运用内容分析法探究我国教育技术学学科在1999-2020年期间博士学位论文研究方法的变化趋势,从博士论文应用研究方法的总体情况、选题比较、不同实证研究方法的变化趋势以及作者单位分布情况等四个方面,展开分析。研究结果表明:博士论文采用的主要研究方法,其整体变化趋势从规范研究转向实证研究,实证方法越来越多元。另外,一些论文中普遍存在研究问题与研究方法本末倒置以及多元方法机械拼接等问题。为此,教育技术学学科应立足于问题本身,厘清研究问题与方法的主客关系,使不同研究方法协同融合,促进多学科方法的创新性应用,从而推动我国教育技术学专业走向成熟和完善。

Based on the research history of educational technology in China,this paper uses the content analysis method to explore the changing trend of research methods of doctoral dissertations in educational technology in China from 1999 to 2020.This paper analyzes the overall situation of the applied research methods of doctoral dissertations from four aspects:the comparison of the trend of topic selection of doctoral dissertations,the changing trend of different empirical research methods,and the distribution of authors’units.The results show that the overall trend of the main research methods adopted in doctoral thesis is the change from normative research to empirical research,and the empirical methods are more and more diversified.In addition,there are many problems such as research problems,inversion of research methods and mechanical splicing of multiple methods.Therefore,we suggest that this discipline should rely on the problem itself,clarify the subject-object relationship between research problems and methods,make different research methods cooperate and integrate,promote the innovative application of multi-disciplinary methods,and promote the discipline of educational technology in China to mature.
