本土研究范式的由来与要义

Origin and Essence of Indigenous Research Paradigm

本土研究范式兴起于20世纪60年代,是对科学实证主义方法论应用于本土研究时的边缘化、独断主义、伦理缺失和知识等级标准的不满和"否思"。本土研究范式反映了本土人民应用本土知识促进社会发展的要求,其要义是:坚持整体逻辑,要求以关系和关系责任消解西方式严格的本体论、认识论、方法论和价值论之间的鸿沟;要求将知识生产置于本土观念中,知识能够扎根于本土并切实地服务于本土发展;要求将伦理和道德置于研究过程,而不是事后的关怀;旨在发展一种独立的研究范式,进而基于这种范式参与到与西方科学研究范式平等的"研究"话语中,转变西方式研究传统的独断倾向。

Indigenous research paradigm （ IRP）, as a negation to the dominant paradigms, is a mainstream method- ology which emerges since the 1960s. It now searches for an effective methodology for Aboriginal/Native/Indiart/ Indigenous research and Indigenous people. In essence, IRP reflects the Indigenous people＇ s requirement for their own right to develop when they use their knowledge day by day. According to Indigenous scholars＇ suggestion, the essence of IRP is ： First, holistic logic temology, axiology, and methodology ; should be stuck to dissolve the gap between the stern Western ontology, epis- second, a research paradigm must take root in indigenous oil and be at theservice of indigenous development; third, ethic and morality should be in the research progress instead of an empty agent after consequence; fourth, indigenous researchers can borrow effective tools from other suitable research para-digms. Without doubt, the development of IRP is changing our research aesthetic tradition, or, our hope will be doubtful yet.
