大数据时代教育研究的机遇、挑战与应对

Educational Research in the Era of Big Data:Opportunities,Challenges and Responses

数据的激增及其可获得性的提高、信息技术的革新在给教育研究提供机遇的同时,也使得教育研究面临着一定的挑战。数据为教育管理研究、政策研究提供的充足的支撑促进了教育改革,数据的工具性特征与人的本体特征之间的矛盾也进一步凸显。大数据时代下的教育研究应在强调系统、整体的理念下促进不同研究范式、不同研究方法之间的融合,促进教育研究从“方法为王”向“问题为王”的转变,促进真正的“有思想”的教育研究的产生,并实现中国特色的教育研究话语。

With the rapid increase of data and the improvement of accessibility,the innovation of information technology not only provides opportunities for educational research,but also makes educational research face certain challenges.Data not only provide sufficient data support for educational management research and policy research to promote educational reform,but also further highlight the contradiction between the instrumental characteristics of data and the ontological characteristics of human beings.In the era of big data,educational research promotes the integration of different research paradigms and different research methods,and promotes educational research from“method-oriented”to“problem-oriented”.Thus,the“thoughtful”educational research is produced and the discourse of educational research with Chinese characteristics is realized.
