教育人种志的认识论思考

Thoughts on Epistemology of Educational Ethnography

教育人种志是教育人类学的主要研究方法,它既与自然科学研究认识论具有共同点,也有特殊的要求,是一种特殊的经验研究。教育人种志追求的真理是部分真理,一方面反映了其认识论的局限,另一方面也是教育人类学学科性质使然。强化理论积累对于克服教育人种志认识论的缺陷、促进教育人类学的发展具有重要意义。

Educational ethnography is a major research method of educational anthropology. It.is a special empirical research having both common features with epistemology of natural sciences and its special requirements. Educational ethnography is in pursuit of partial truth, which reflects its limit in epistemology on one hand, and is decided by discipline nature of educational anthropology on the other hand. So, strengthening theoretical accumulation is of importance to overcoming defects of epistemology of educational anthropology and promoting the development of educational anthropology.
