民族教育研究的新范式:混合方法研究

A Paradigm in the Study of Ethnic Education:Mixed Methods Research

当前我国民族教育研究以单一的质性研究为主,缺乏量化研究作为互证。究其原因,民族教育研究范式的选择主要是基于学科属性导向,而非研究问题导向,且民族教育研究范式的选择过于关注民族文化,却忽视了教育学科属性。混合方法研究作为“第三次方法论运动”的产物,它不仅能发挥质性研究和量化研究的优势,增强研究者的“问题意识”,还能提高民族教育研究的科学性,促进民族教育学科的建设与发展。

The current paradigm in the study of ethnic education is mainly qualitative research,with no quantitative research to offer empirical evidence.The reasons are diversified.The choice of paradigm in ethnic educational research is discipline-oriented rather than problem-oriented.Researchers pay too much attention to the national culture,and neglect its educational nature.As"The Third Methodology Movement",the mixed-method research may avoid defects of qualitative research or quantitative research and integrate their advantages to improve our consciousness of"problem orientation"and to promote the construction and development of discipline.
