循证教育政策研究:一个应然命题的实然问题

On an Evidence-Based Education Policy:A Reality-Based Problem in a Necessity-Based Topic

循证是教育决策科学化的紧迫要求、教育治理现代化的时代需求、教育政策研究创新发展的需要,是教育政策应然命题的实然应对。循证教育政策研究是基于证据,明确议程、制定政策、执行政策、调整政策全过程的理论、工具、方法和技术。基于最佳证据分析教育政策,增强教育政策的解释力、预测力和评估力。循证教育政策研究以理念建构、证据分级、价值研判与决策支撑为任务。其作为新兴交叉学科研究域,以教育政策生命周期中的证据分级分类、最佳证据确定和运用为探究对象。教育强国建设的新时代,循证教育政策研究的高质量推进路径为:促进学科交叉研究、丰富证据来源,为证据判别打下基础;开展教育证据评估、分类分级证据,为证据选择提供条件;提升教育证据质量、建立证据链条,为证据运用创设通道;利用大数据技术、打造教育数据库,为证据共享建立机制。

Evidence-based inquiry is required in the urgent scientific educational decision-making,the modernized educational governance,and the innovative development of educational policy research,and serves as a reality-based strategy for the necessity-based topic in educational policies. Evidence-based education policy research indicates theories,tools,methods and techniques through which we follow evidence to clarify the policy agenda,formulate the policy,implement it,and adjust its whole process. We need to use the best evidence to analyze an educational policy,and enhance its explanatory power,predictive power and evaluative power. Evidence-based education policy research shoulders the tasks of constructing concepts,classifying evidence,judging the value,and supporting decision-making.As a new interdisciplinary research,it probes into the classification of evidence in the life cycle of educational policies,and the determination and application of the best evidence. In the new era,when we are building a powerful country in education,the approaches to the high-quality promotion of evidence-based education policy research include promoting interdisciplinary research,enriching the sources of evidence,and laying a good foundation for evidence judgment;evaluating,classifying and grading educational evidence,and providing conditions for evidence selection;improving the quality of educational evidence,establishing chains of evidence,and creating channels for the use of evidence;and using big data technology to build an educational database,and establishing a mechanism for evidence sharing.
