论教育研究的科学性问题

How is the Scientific Educational Research Possible

任何研究都包括结论、证据、结论与证据之间的逻辑链条以及研究情境这四个要素。一项满足科学性要求的研究必然是一种结论具有可证伪性、证据是可以重复获得的经验事实、证据与结论之间的逻辑链条清晰且无矛盾和研究情境可以再现的研究。教育理论由教育思想、教育学基础学科理论和教育学理论构成。教育学理论是教育理论的核心成分,教育研究的科学性主要集中体现在教育学研究的科学性上。教育学要提供对教育在"目的-手段-结果"框架下的整体理解,就必须将教育系统作为自己的研究对象。只有如此,教育学研究的科学性才是可能的。

A complete research is composed of conclusion, evidences, logic chain linking the evidences to the conclusion and context. Any scientific research must be falsifiable; its facts can be accessed repeatedly; its chain of logic is clear and has no contradictions; and its context can be constructed or entered repeatedly. We think the education theory as a unity composed of education thoughts, theories of basic discipline about education and the pedagogy theory which is the kernel of the whole education theory. To say that education research can be scientific means that the research of pedagogy theory can be scientific. In order to provide the overall understanding of education based on the framework ＂aims-means-outcomes＂, the pedagogy theory has to consider the education system as its research object. Only in this way can the scientific education research be possible.
