近三年国外成人教育研究进展和评述——基于国际学术期刊文献的分析

Research Progress and Review of Foreign Adult Education in Recent Three Years—Based on the Analysis of International Academic Journals

基于内容分析法对近三年国外成人教育领域期刊所刊论文进行梳理和分析,可探究国际成人教育领域的研究进展、趋势和不足。近三年国外学者主要关注对成人教育现状的探索和分析,指出实践中存在反社会排斥的作用弱化、减少不平等的功能式微、去殖民主义的价值存疑等问题,并提出未来应将提升危机应对力作为发展重点,以拓宽实践可能性为发展途径,以促进可持续发展为发展目标。国外成人教育研究总体呈现出关注弱势群体、聚焦社会公平、警惕“合理现象”、坚持批判反思的研究趋势,但也存在偏重实证研究、理论研讨不足、偏重质性方法、量化研究较少的问题。

Based on content analysis method,this paper sorts out and analyzes the papers published in foreign journals in the field of adult education in recent three years,and explores the research progress,trends and deficiencies in the field of international adult education.In recent three years,foreign scholars have mainly focused on exploring and analyzing the current situation of adult education,pointed out that there were some problems in practice,such as the weakening of the role of anti-social exclusion,the decline of the function of reducing social inequality,and the doubt of the value of decolonization.In the future,it is necessary to focus on improving crisis response,broaden the possibilities of practice as the way of development,and promote sustainable development as the goal.In general,foreign adult education research focuses on vulnerable groups and social equality issue.Be vigilant about“reasonable phenomenon”,and adhere to the research trend of critical reflection.However,there are some problems,such as lacking theoretical discussion to emphasize on empirical research,lacking of quantitative research to emphasize qualitative methods.
