质性取向教育个案研究综述

A Review of the Case Study of Quality-oriented Education

个案研究是教育领域中的一种重要研究策略,其研究取向已由微观走向宏观、由特殊走向一般。质性教育个案研究的理论来源、资料搜集与分析的技术受到民族志、历史研究、心理学及社会学等学科的影响,主要解决"如何"及"为什么"的研究问题。开展一项教育个案研究一般要经历制定研究设计(研究问题、个案选取、分析单位)、资料的收集和分析、撰写个案研究报告三个基本程序。扎实的个案研究对于建构本土化的教育理论具有积极的意义。

Case study is an important strategy applied in education and its orientation has changed from being micro to macro, from the peculiar to the general. As case study of quality-oriented education aims to solve the issues of ＂how＂ and ＂why＂, its theoretical sources, data collecting and analysis technology are influenced by the subjects of ethnography, historical study, phychology and sociology. Steps to carry out a case study include project design （question introduction, case selection, analysis unit）, data collecting and analyzing, and report writing. Solid and in-depth case study is helpful to the construction of localized edu- cational theories.
