立场与方法的差异:传播学二元框架下的中国科学传播硕博论文研究

The Differences in Positions and Methods: Research on the Chinese Master’s and Doctoral Dissertations in Science Communication from the Perspective of the Dual Frame of Communication

本研究参照传播学学科经验学派和批判学派的二元框架,对国内科学传播硕博论文进行了全面梳理,发现在科学传播研究领域,也存在着经验研究和批判研究两类与传播学中经验学派和批判学派相似的研究范式。目前,经验研究占科学传播领域的主流地位,多借鉴传播学的经典理论和实证研究方法,批判研究则更多继承了源自科学元勘领域的批判传统和思辨色彩,主要立场是对科技发展与社会关系的深刻反思,和对科学主义现象的批判,而两个学派之间的研究范式差别也正源自于立场和科学观之差异。

By referring to the dual framework of the school of empiricism and the school of criticism in the field of communication,this study has comprehensively reviewed the master’s and doctoral dissertations in the field.It has been found that there are two similar research paradigms in science communication:empirical research and critical research.At present,empirical research occupies the mainstream position in the field,and the classic theories and empirical research methods of communication are used for reference.Critical research,on the other hand,has inherited the tradition of criticism and speculation from the field of science studies,and its main standpoint is to reflect on the relations of the development of science and technology and the society,and to criticize the phenomenon of scientism.The differences in research paradigms between the two schools are derived from their differences in positions and views of science.
