摘要: 自2015年“全国首届教育实证研究论坛”召开后,中国教育科学领域兴起了一股定量研究方法的应用之风。然而,由于受到研究水平、研究环境的制约,有关量化研究和混合研究中定量方法的应用和方法论的研究仍是我国教育研究中的一个薄弱项,学术界还没有对教育实证研究中的定量方法的应用形成全面客观的认识。即便陆续有学者对定量方法在我国的应用情况做了综述研究,却多是对统计数据的简单描述与概括,针对具体问题的详细分析几乎没有。更没有针对实际方法误用的纠正,无法切实帮助到具体方法的应用者。因此,详细地梳理、分析定量研究方法在我国的实际应用情况,并尝试对其不足之处给出较为具体的建议,对定量研究方法在我国的发展与成熟具有重要的作用与价值。本文以2015—2019年在11本教育综合类中文社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)期刊中应用定量方法的论文为研究对象,总结了定量研究方法五年来在我国教育实证研究中的应用现状,并针对具体问题提出对策与建议;整理了一些常见的定量研究方法的误用情况,并针对这些误用给出了正确应用的建议;分析了定量研究方法在教育实证研究中的使用趋势。

Abstract: Since the “National Educational Empirical Research Forum” was first held in 2015, the application of quantitative methods in the field of education science in China has been popular. However, due to the limitation of research level and research environment, investigating the methodology of quantitative methods and applying quantitative methods in quantitative or mixed research are still a weak point in educational research in China. The academic community has not formed a comprehensive and objective understanding of the application of quantitative methods in education empirical research. Even though some scholars review the application of quantitative methods in education empirical research in China, they only describe and summarize the statistical data, and there is limited analysis on the specific problems with the application. Moreover, there is no correction for the misuse of quantitative methods, which cannot help the applicators effectively. Therefore, efforts to analyze the practical application of quantitative methods in China and give more specific suggestions on its shortcomings are of great significance for the development of quantitative methods in China. This paper examined the articles published in 11 comprehensive education journals included in the Chinese Social Science Citation Index (CSSCI) from 2015 to 2019 as the objects. It summarized the application of quantitative methods in educational empirical research in China in the past five years, and provided suggested solutions to some specific issues. Also, it presented the misuse of some widely used quantitative methods, and made the correct application suggestions; analyzed the future trend of applying quantitative methods in educational empirical research in China.
