What are the main difficulties faced by educational research?

I believe that one of the most difficult aspects of educational research in general is the selection of educational research topics.

I think the reasons for the difficulty are as follows:

1. The gap in the selection of quiet topics is too large, the research problems are too large, and it is difficult to clarify the research object, which leads to the repeated overturning of the research topic and the inability to carry out the research.

2. Without experience in teaching, shooting, and transportation, it is difficult to select topics in education and teaching practice, and the topics are easy to repeat to others.

First of all, through the comparative study of education in different countries, we can broaden our horizons, increase our knowledge, and deepen our understanding of the education system and educational aspects of our country. Through the comparative study of education in various countries, we can learn from the successful experience and failure lessons of foreign education, which can be used as a reference for domestic education reform, and provide a basis and reference for our educational decision-making and educational reform.

Second, through the comparative analysis of educational phenomena in different socio-political, economic and cultural environments, we can imitate the most basic decisive factors in the phenomenon of education that do not show fundamental differences due to different external environments, so as to provide important clues and bases for revealing the qualitative prescriptiveness of education behind the educational phenomenon, that is, understanding the essence of education.

Third, as an intermediary cultural form of "comparative culture", comparative education plays the role of the main channel for communication and cooperation between educational theories of different nation-states. These intercultural exchanges are one of the important driving forces for innovation and progress in educational science. The study of comparative education has reached a global scale, and we can also enhance international understanding and promote international cultural exchange.

How to choose an educational research question is as follows:

(1) Select the topic guide

From the Zhencong National Education Science Planning Leading Group Office, the Chinese Society of Education and other national scientific research departments published the project guide, to find important subject resources; You can also search from provincial scientific research departments**, such as through the Institute of Educational Sciences** to find educational science planning topics; Or from the topics announced by the scientific research departments at the city and county levels, find special topics to study sub-topics and small topics.

There are two points to grasp when choosing a planning topic from the topic guide: first, you must choose according to the actual problems in your own education and teaching; The second is to decompose and refine the topic to make it more concrete.

Example 1: A certain area has very rich tourism resources, and the curriculum resources related to it are very rich, considering the spirit of the current new curriculum reform, according to the direction of "curriculum resource development and research" in the "Project Guide", such a topic can be determined: "tourism culture and school-based curriculum resources development and integration research" (school-wide research).

Learn to think about choice

In the process of inspecting and learning advanced schools, participating in academic conferences, listening to special reports, and summarizing and sharing experiences, there will always be inspiration and feelings, and at the same time, the perceptions and confusions in learning and thinking can be focused on the problems that need to be studied.

Example 2: Visit and study the "336" self-directed learning and efficient classroom model of Dulangkou Middle School, the teaching mode of "learning first, then teaching, and on-the-spot training" of Yangsi Middle School, and the "post-teahouse" teaching model of the Affiliated School of Shanghai Jing'an District Teaching Institute, etc., reflect on your own teaching, and connect with the actual situation of your school, and determine that the name of the topic can be "Research on the Application of Teaching Mode (or Teaching Ideas) in Teaching".

Choices in teaching practice

The problem is the topic, "what to teach, what to study", "what is needed, what to study", "what to doubt, what to study", and to do research to solve the problem.

Example 3: Elementary school students are afraid of writing and can't write. So why are you afraid?

How to arouse interest and desire? How to train composition skills? The research topics are identified in order:

Research on the Teaching of Composition for Elementary School Students: "Research on the Teaching of Composition at the Beginning of the Third Grade of Primary School": A Study on the Strategies for Cultivating Interest in the Initial Stage of Composition for Elementary School Students".

As a parent, I think this kind of education is inappropriate, does not achieve good educational results, and will make children become less confident, so it is not advisable.

Therefore, as a parent, we must master the correct and good education methods, communicate with the children more friendly, learn to respect them and learn to understand and understand them, and learn to learn educational methods.

Reading books positively will play a great role in encouraging all of us, reading good books will help us form good qualities, and can also improve our quality, a good book can make our future more sunny, can teach us to be confident and cheerful.

In our daily life, we mainly learn the knowledge from books, and if we only master the basic knowledge from books, the knowledge structure will be relatively simple, and the knowledge will not be broad enough.

Reading extracurricular books gives us another way to broaden our knowledge, and more extracurricular reading helps to broaden and cultivate a wide range of interests, helps to increase new knowledge, and makes us more confident.

The more books we read, the more vocabulary we learn, and the more we increase our vocabulary.

And these will also be more helpful in our daily communication, we can learn a lot of good words and sentences through reading works, and the right words are important in any study and work, which will leave a good impression on others, make everyone think that you are literate, and we will become more knowledgeable and confident.

Answer] :(1) The current situation of educational research in China: First of all, there are many new and valuable problems in the field of educational theory.

Although the educational circles have noticed the changes of the times and actively absorbed the achievements and nutrients of scientific and philosophical research, on the whole, they have not yet realized the renewal of the theoretical foundation, and the theory still lacks advanced consciousness and the guiding force for practice. Secondly, the field of study of practice has been greatly expanded. However, the depth is not enough, and the summary of educational experience has rarely risen to a sufficient theoretical level.

The combination of theory and practice has not been done well. Thirdly, a lot of work has been done in the study of foreign educational theories and trends of thought, but most of them stay at the level of introduction and elaboration, and lack the necessary analysis and discussion, and they are biased towards developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, and the study of education in developing countries is not enough. On the other hand, in the 21st century, a new situation of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending" has also emerged in China's educational theory circles, and there have been relatively important breakthroughs in the fields involved, the perspectives adopted, the methods adopted, or the theories and viewpoints put forward, and the conclusions reached, which fully reflect the new scene of innovation and progress in the field of educational theory.

2) Problems in Educational Research Methods: Although the educational theory community is paying more and more attention to the scientific research of educational research, there are still some problems in educational research methods. First, we should emphasize speculation, ignore practice, and experiment less.

In speculative analysis, educational problems are often set to a certain established formula, and conclusions are drawn purely through logical reasoning. Or start from some inherent classical model theory and look for examples in practice. As a result, due to the inability to study educational practice in depth, the banquet manuscript lacks a profound revelation of the laws of educational activities, thus making educational theory very poor. Second, when conducting educational research, we often adopt a linear, absolutist, and metaphysical way of thinking, and there is often a situation where we either affirm or deny it entirely, and when we correct one one-sided viewpoint, another one-sided viewpoint appears.

Third, there is a lack of theoretical generalization of rich practical experience in education. The vast number of educators in our country have made rich achievements in the practice of education, made innovations, forged ahead, and carried out novel and diverse teaching experiments, which are the precious wealth of our educational science development. Unfortunately, due to the lack of refinement and generalization, the understanding of educational achievements stays at the level of general experience summary and perceptual understanding, which invisibly hinders the profound research of educational theory.

Fourth, there is a lack of identification and reflection on foreign educational theories and schools, which often go to two extremes. Or stick to the old ways and reject them all, or copy them all without analysis. Fifth, many of the methods in educational research methods are transplanted from other disciplines, so they lack their own norms and standards, and the theoretical basis of research methods is relatively weak.

Answer: Suspect case] :d

There are five aspects of the current research on the problems of the shed in China: first, it emphasizes critical analysis, ignores the study of educational practice, and does not pay attention to typical experiments; Second, when conducting educational research, we tend to adopt a straight, absolutistic, and metaphysical way of thinking. Third, there is a lack of theoretical generalization of rich practical experience in education. Fourth, there is not enough identification and criticism of foreign educational theories and schools; Fifth, the methods of educational research, many of which are transplanted from other disciplines, lack their own norms and standards, especially the basic theories of the research methods are weak. It can be seen that item D does not meet the requirements, so D is chosen.
