美国教育博士(Ed.D.)专业学位教育的问题与改革论争

The Problems of American Ed.D.and the Debates on It's Reform

美国的教育博(The Doctor of Education degree,Ed.D.)专业学位教育面临的中心问题是其与教育学博士(Doctor Of Philosophy in Education,Ph.D.)教育在培养目标、入学标准、培养模式与师资队伍、课程设置与学习方式、学位论文与评价标准等方面存在着趋同性。围绕该问题的解决,美国近年来展开了一系列的论争,从而激发了美国和其他国家对教育博士(Ed.D.)教育改革与发展的深入思考。

American Ed.D. education faces a key problem that it has many similarities with Ph.D. in education in terms of the goal of training, the entrance requirements, training mode and teaching staff, courses and the teaching methods, dissertation and the standard of assessment. In order to tackle this problem, some bitter debates have been going on in recent years in US, and thus stimulating the United States and other countries to reflect on the issue of the reform and development of the Ed.D. program.
