论“参与式”教育研究及其价值承诺

On participatory educational research and its value promise

教育研究不应是教育学者身居教育实践之外的一种“冷眼旁观”,亦不应满足于以“局内观察”的方式对所研究之群体文化进行“深描”。教育研究必须以“参与”作为研究的基本姿态。教育研究之“参与”,其研究旨趣不仅仅停留于对研究对象的复现与描述,更重要的是对“如何教育”作出合理解答,并走向教育研究者与教育实践者对教育活动的“协同创造”。

Neither should education researchers put themselves outside education practice and ＂look on coldly＂, nor should they carry on ＂inner observations＂ and give a ＂deep description＂ of the culture of the observed. On the contrary, they should participate in the practice, which aims at not only describing the practice but, more importantly, giving a proper answer to the question ＂how to educate＂ and thus ＂co-creating＂ education activities with the practicers.
