大数据与青少年研究的范式创新

Big Data and the Paradigm Innovation of Youth Research

我国青少年研究历来受范式问题困扰,大数据技术的发展让不少研究者相信,青少年研究领域的范式创新将出现巨大转机。实际上,大数据对青少年研究范式的影响并非颠覆性的,传统的研究"策略"仍有不可替代的作用,变革之前尚需冷静。具体而言:(1)大数据时代的来临促成青少年研究在研究方法、研究对象及价值观等方面发生质的变化;(2)谈"范式转向"之前须先解决"范式产生"问题,如果不能解决学科根源问题,大数据对范式的形成在本质上并无推动作用;(3)在当代,大数据应用面临"易脱离现实"、"数据获取与共享难"、"缺乏大数据专业研究人员"等问题,必须谨慎对待;(4)从根本上讲,大数据不能取代传统研究范式,基于大数据的新方法与老方法共存并互为补充的混合方法研究将是趋势。

China＇s youth research has always been plagued by paradigm problems. The development of big data technology makes so many researchers believe that the paradigm innovation in the field of youth research will be a huge turnaround. In fact, the impact of big data on youth research paradigm is not subversive and traditional research ＂strategy＂ still has its irreplaceable role. Specifically ： （ 1 ） The era of big data changes youth research in research methods, research objects and values and so on; （2） We must solve the ＂paradigm formation＂ problem before the ＂paradigm shift＂ problem, otherwise, there is no effect in promoting paradigm for the big data; （3） In the contemporary era, big data applications face ＂reality＂ and ＂ data acquisition and sharing＂ , ＂ lack of big data research professionals＂ and other issues, and these must be treated with caution; （4） Fundamentally speaking, big data can not replace the traditional paradigm. Hybrid research method based on big data and new methods will be the trend.
