“问题”“理论”与“方法”:如何做好数学教育研究——访国际数学教育委员会前秘书长Mogens Niss教授

Research Question,Theoretical Framework,Methodology:How to Conduct High-Quality Mathematics Education Research——Interviewing ICMI Former Secretary:Mogens Niss

为拓展数学教育研究者对于国际数学教育研究的发展历程以及趋势的认识,探讨数学教育研究范式、做好数学教育研究,对国际数学教育委员会前秘书长Mogens Niss教授进行专访.Niss教授认为研究问题选择的"敏锐性"是关键的一步;理论框架需要基于研究问题,通过"理论商店"选择;早期的实证研究大多数是量的研究,近十几年来质的研究和量的研究结合的研究逐渐增加,但发表的论文还是以质的研究为主.

Through interviewing with Prof.Mogens Niss,who was also the former secretary of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction,this paper helped to broaden the knowledge and trend of development in the field of mathematics education,which further deeply investigated the shift with regard to research paradigms and in accordance how to conduct mathematics education research.Mogens Niss claimed that the sharpness of research question was very crucial in conducting research.Choosing of theoretical framework should be based on the research question and then pick one from“theory shop”.Early empirical research were mainly quantitative research,though the amount of mixed research had been increased in recent years,published papers were mostly qualitative research.
