关于做研究的方法论的读书笔记。
In the recent past, the two
main paradigms that have influenced educational
research are the scientific, positivist,
objective,
quantitative paradigm and the
interpretative, naturalistic, subjective,
qualitative paradigm (although it is important to remember
that ALL research is
interpretative in that it can only offer an interpretation, not
an actual replica, of the world).
Epistemology is the theory of
knowledge, thus epistemological assumptions
concern
the nature of knowledge, what constitutes knowledge and what
it is possible to
know and understand and re-present. The reason for doing
research is get
knowledge and to communicate that knowledge, often with the
ultimate view of
informing practice and/or policy and, thereby, improving
things in some way.
