重审教育研究的双重属性及其使命

Reviewing the Dual Natures of Education Research and Its Mission

教育研究固然需要严密客观的科学实证,但同样离不开相对主观的人文价值反思,甚至要借助生命直觉的慧示。全球化时代的大数据在很大程度上加强了教育研究的科学属性,却无法取代教育研究的人文向度;坚持教育研究方法的适切性,有助于防止"唯科学主义"的偏弊。当代教育研究要谨防被功利主义绑架,注重科学实证研究与人文向度探索的辩证统一,坚守教育研究的独立品性,努力建构具有中华民族特色的现代教育学术体系。

Education research surely need precise and objective scientific evidence, but it is also inseparable from the relatively subjective reflection of humanistic value, even with the help of the wisdom of life instinct. The big data of the globalization era strengthens the scientific nature of education research to a great extent, hut it can＇t replace the humanistic dimension of education research; adhering to the applicableness of the education research methods is to help prevent the partial disadvantage of ＂scientism＂. We should beware that the study of contemporary education research may be kidnapped by utilitarianism, laying emphasis on the dialectical unification of the scienti^c empirical research and the exploration of the humanistic dimension, sticking to the independent character of education research and trying to eonstmet the modem education academic system with Chinese national distinguishing features.
