数学方法与高等教育研究

Mathematical Methods and Higher Education Research

数学具有逻辑严谨性、应用广泛性等特点,它对高等教育研究具有双重意义:在方法意义上提供具体的方法、工具或手段,在方法论意义上提供思想指导。数学与教育研究的关系经历了漫长而曲折的变化。20世纪80年代初,高等教育学科在我国创立,数学方法在这个时期也被重新强调和运用,其原因一方面是希望通过定量研究的引入提升高等教育研究的科学化水平,另一方面也希望参考数学方法建构起高等教育学严密的逻辑体系或理论体系。但受制于定量研究方法本身的原因和教育学本身基本概念内涵不清的制约,数学方法的运用是有限度的。从现实来看,未来我们需要加强对数学方法的学习、理解、掌握和运用,增强定量研究的意识,提升定量研究的能力和水平。

Mathematics, which has a double meaning to higher education many characteristics such as logical rigor, extensive application, has research： providing concrete methods, tools or means on method and ideological guidance on methodology. The relationship between mathematics and education research has experienced a long and tortuous change. In the early 1980s, higher education discipline was founded in China and mathematical methods in this period was also emphasized and used again. The main reasons are as follows： on the one hand, people want to promote the scientific level of higher education research through the introduction of the quantitative research; on the other hand, people also hope to construct rigorous logic mathematical methods. In the future, we need to futher understand, master and apply mathematics method, enhance the consciousness of quantitative research, increase the ability and level of quantitative research.
