基于设计的研究范式在外语教师教育中的应用

The Application of Design-Based Research in Foreign Language Teacher Education

自20世纪90年代初以来,基于设计的研究范式在国外众多学术领域已被广泛应用,这一新的范式在国外已形成完善的理论体系。自2005年以来,我国学者对这一范式已开始予以关注,但较之国外同行,该领域的研究尚未得到广泛应用。文章在回顾"基于设计的研究范式"的理论基础上,对该研究范式在外语教师教育领域的可行性及有效性进行探究,以期解决我国教学研究者在研究过程中遇到的实际问题。

Internationally, since the 1990 s design-based research with its solid theoretical foundation has been widely employed in many fields. It was only after the year of 2005 that this research paradigm has earned the attention of Chinese re searchers. However, in China it is still at the initial stage and has not been in a wide use. Based on the review of both national and international literature, this paper, therefore, discusses the possibility and validity of this paradigm in the field of foreign language teacher education. It is aimed to seek ways to solve problems encountered by Chinese researchers, who have been involved in the studies of English language teachers and their professional development.
