论质性研究对思想政治教育的借鉴价值

On qualitative research and its value to political education

质性研究是具有普遍性的微观理论,对于深层次探究人的思想现状、弥补思想政治教育以往惯用的宏大理论的缺失以及实施思想政治教育的途径都有着积极的意义。

The qualitative research is universally recognized as the micro theory, which may as well be complementary to the macro theory that is usually adopted in the political education, and in the explorations of the human mentality. It is assumed that the qualitative research, which has been extensively used in education, sociology, and anthropology in the past two decades, is an effective approach to the political education, in particular, in the current context of Chinese market economy and of the membership of WTO.
