Educational Research

Educational Research – a comprehensive national-level academic journal on educational theories supervised by China’s Education Ministry and sponsored by the National Institute of Education Sciences (NIES) – is the longest-running publication of its kind since China’s reform and opening-up program began in the late 1970s. Educational Research helps readers to learn about the latest in educational theory, and allows them to form their own opinions through well-researched educational articles. These cover an array of key areas in the field of education, where contributors evaluate education research, explore the law of education and teaching, disseminate educational and teaching experiences, publicize educational achievements in teaching reforms and experiments, carry out education-related academic discussions, analyse academic research trends, and provide educational information from home and abroad. Its scope has both breadth and depth, and that’s why it’s the preferred choice for education professionals across China.

Having a wide-ranging social impact, Educational Research ranks No.1 when it comes to core Chinese-language educational journals. It can boast the highest number of reprinted academic papers in other education-related publications. For instance, many of its academic papers appear in Education – a journal at the Information Center for Social Sciences of Renmin University. Meanwhile, of all the education-related journals listed in the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI), Educational Research is said to have the greatest capacity to impact its readers, while it is also No.1 in terms of the disciplines in China’s academic journal clout index. Its wide-ranging achievements have been recognised both at home and abroad – for instance, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and other professional journal-evaluating organizations selected it as the most internationally-influential academic journal. It has also been called one of the most authoritative Chinese-language academic journals  by the Research Center for Chinese Science Evaluation (RCCSE); one of the Top 100 digitally-influential journals; a Chinese journal in humanities and social sciences which scores very well in AMI (Attraction, Management and Impact) indicators, and one of the top 100 journals released overseas by the China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation (CNPIEC).

The Double Constraints of Educational Evaluation

——A Case Analysis of the College Entrance Examination Reform

Xie Weihe

Abstract:Educational evaluation is an important and complex activity in the field of education. Owing to the complicated,significant and multi-factor study of educational evaluation,the variables affecting educational evaluation can be summarized as two constraints:scientificness and publicity. The former,required to briefly grasp the key points of evaluation,is limited by value,space and time;the latter,required to focus on educational equity,takes educational evaluation as a public policy,and describes and analyzes the ways to realize publicity from the perspectives of participation and decentralization. The system of college entrance examination,a sort of educational evaluation covering the vast majority of aspects and involving the largest number of stakeholders and the most complicated variables,is also constrained by both scientificness and publicity.

Key words:educational evaluation;scientificness;publicity

The Wisdom-Oriented Teaching Ability: Teachers' Ability in the Era of Wisdom Education

Yang Xin & Xie Yueguang

Abstract:Wise teachers can effectively promote the development of their students' wisdom. Wisdom,which includes the instrumental reason,the value-based reason,and the meaning-based reason,represents students' understanding and building of their relationship with nature,society,and the self-world. Wisdom-oriented teaching ability derives from teachers' wisdom,comes from practice,and changes students' reasonable world,hereby interpreting "why" and "how" teaching can promote the development of students' wisdom. In the background of information technology,teachers' wisdom-oriented teaching ability includes explaining the instrumental reason by designing questions,explaining the value-based reason by constructing a context,enlightening the meaning-based reason through timely dialogs and evaluations,and making appropriate interventions through information technology.

Key words:wisdom-oriented teaching ability;generation of wisdom;teacher's ability

The Reconstruction of the Relationship Between Schools and Students in the Changes of Education

Lao Kaisheng

Abstract:The theory of special power relation,which has an important impact on public schools in China,remains a key to the understanding of the relationship between schools and students. After the establishment of the corporate system for schools in 1995,the administrative organs began to reflect and revise the nature and the boundary of the school power in the past relationship between schools and students,and the court no longer excluded the application of the principles of legal reservation and legal remedy,thus breaking the previous legal balance. Therefore,the relationship between schools and students,characterized by the combination of the public law and the private law,becomes a compound legal relationship including the vertical relationship and the horizontal relationship. In terms of the vertical relationship,the court no longer admits a school's absolute authority of ordering and disciplining,if certain important matters involve students' basic rights and are provided for by the law. In terms of the horizontal relationship,the disputes arising from students' rights of the person and their property rights are usually settled through civil action. Public schools,which have no independent source of income,are unable to independently bear civil liability,but the law fails to make specific provisions,thus distorting the relationship between public schools' passive capacity and active capacity. This problem can be settled through two approaches:In case of a public school's negligence,the government shall bear joint and several liability;and the risks of running a public school shall be covered by the insurance liability so as to socialize the liability for the compensation for students' casualty accidents.

Key words:public school;the relationship between schools and students;special power relation;the remedy to students' rights

The Changes of the Policy for Rural Primary School Teacher Supplements: Review and Prospects over the Past 70 Years

Yang Weian

Abstract:Over the past 70 years,the policy for rural primary school teacher supplements in China has passed three stages:the supplements to both public school teachers and private school teachers,the supplements to teachers by assigning graduates from secondary teacher-training schools and employing substitute teachers(as a secondary means), and the supplements to teachers through open recruitment and special projects. At present,contradictions and problems are exposed in rural primary school teacher supplements:the strict control of the total staff size of the rural primary school teachers,but  the  insufficient  quantity  of  rural  primary  school  teachers;the  weak  career  attraction,and  the  low professional quality of rural primary school teachers;the oversupplied primary school teachers nationwide in general,but an insufficient supply of rural primary school teachers;the limited financial resources of governments at the county level, and insufficient funds for rural primary school teacher supplements. In addition,there is special difficulty in primary school teacher supplements in the deep poverty-stricken areas,such as certain regions(the Tibet,the Tibetan areas from Qinghai,Sichuan,Yunnan and Gansu,and four prefectures from southern Xinjiang)and three prefectures(Liangshan Prefecture from Sichuan,Nujiang Prefecture from Yunnan,and Linxia Prefecture from Gansu). In the new era,we are supposed to increase the career attraction of rural primary school teachers by optimizing the external environment and strengthening the internal support,solve the problem of rural primary school teacher supplements in the framework for the staff size of teachers,focus on the rural primary school teacher supplements through the supply-side reform of teacher preparation,open diversified channels for rural primary school teacher supplements,and make special policies for rural primary school teacher supplements in the deep poverty-stricken areas.

Big Data in Education:Ethical Demands and Their Realization

Qi Wanxue & Xie Juan

Abstract:Big data in education are composed of such elements as data subjects,data objects,educational activities and educational data. The ethical demands of big data in education,whose representations include the demands for both self-protection and social security,are the prerequisite for the governance of ethical risks,as well as the common pursuit of ethical values by structural elements such as data subjects and data objects. There are four interrelated,escalating ethical demands:the data subjects' endogenous demand featured by usefulness and harmlessness and their exogenous demand featured by responsibility and obligation,and the data objects' endogenous demand featured by data rights and their exogenous demand featured by institutional guarantees. The ethical demands can be finally met by depending on the establishment and maintenance of an ethical community of big data in education,namely,reaching a consensus on ethical beliefs by the community of ethical spirit,breaking down communication barriers and clarifying responsibilities by an ethical communication community,guaranteeing the system for data rights by a community of industry standards,and increasing the connections between big data technologies and educational humanities by an ethical culture community.

Progress Means Quality:The View on Education Quality and the Pursuit of Value Targeting the Process of Students' Growth

Chi Yanjie

Abstract:The view on education quality underlies the evaluation of education quality. In the stage of compulsory education,the view on result-based quality,contained in the previous "criteria-results evaluation," has positive functions,but its biggest problem is that it regards students as a batch of "products" without paying attention to their growth. Therefore,we need to establish the view on process-based quality by embracing the concept that "progress means quality," which indicates encouraging students to know and change themselves in their learning and daily life,and educate themselves full of confidence. Teachers who conceive the concept that "progress means quality" will heed their students' daily performance,and encourage them to overcome difficulties and transcend themselves based on the educational principles of encouragement and disciplining. Educational policy-makers need to give teachers the right to discipline their students,and reduce comparisons and rankings among schools by rethinking the unified final examination within a district.

The Construction of the Moral Education Community Based on the Knowledge Community

——The Coupling of Knowledge with Morality in Colleges and Universities

During Their High Morals Molding and Cultivation of Talents Based on People Orientation

Ren Shaobo & Shan Juehui

Abstract:The  "knowledge  community"  is  the  natural  attribute  of  colleges  and  universities,whereas  the  "moral education  community"  is  the  essential  feature  of  the  socialist  colleges  and  universities  with  Chinese  characteristics. China's colleges and universities,whose fundamental task is to mold high morals and cultivate talents based on people orientation,are  supposed  to  view  moral  education  from  the  perspective  of  knowledge,and  in  line  with  the  interaction between  morality  and  knowledge,build  the  "moral  education  community"  based  on  the  "knowledge  community",and explore creative approaches to molding high morals and cultivating talents based on people orientation. This study suggests that we should take the knowledge structure of multi-subjects in the community as the starting point of moral education, consummate the field coupling of moral education with intellectual education,smooth the way for the energy combination between  multi-subjects,build  up  a  system  connection  based  on  "common  good",promote  the  innovation  of  moral education through cutting-edge knowledge,improve the coordination of moral education through integrated knowledge, and stimulate the implementation of moral education through practice-centered knowledge.

Key words:colleges and universities;molding high morals and cultivating talents based on people orientation; knowledge community;moral education community

The Rainbow under the Ideal Sky

——The Flourishment of the Thought on Public Education for Children 100 YearsAgo

Yu Benfa,Zhang Wenjun & Zheng Gang

Abstract:In the history of preschool education in China,besides such shining thoughts as "life education" and "living education",the thought on public education for children born 100 years ago was noteworthy. Benefiting from the Enlightenment Movement,this thought explored history,absorbed various emerging theories,and was particularly inspired by the communist ideals. Later,it ebbed rapidly for various reasons,but it had a profound impact on preschool family education and social preschool education, and became an invisible impetus for the establishment and implementation of the preschool education system. More importantly,its democratic spirit represented by "arguments" and its scientific spirit represented by "experiments" continue to be an inexhaustible power to promote the innovation of educational thoughts.

The OECD's Power and Mechanism in Its Participation in the Global Governance of Education

Ding Ruichang

Abstract:The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)induces other entities to discard the dominant national arrangements and thereby achieves its global governance of education by developing a "good," "correct" and "meaningful" system of educational knowledge and making use of its discourse and institutional resources to persuade other entities to accept its values. By relying on this productive power,the OECD has developed three mutually nonexclusive mechanisms for the global governance of education:the cognitive governance based on educational concepts construction,the digital governance based on education indicators development,and the normative governance based on education policy review. The OECD has made innovative contributions to the development of global education,but it apparently tends to be economistic,and its lofty professional status underpinning its qualification as a global education governor faces challenges.

Universal Access to Upper Secondary Education:Connotations and Approaches

Li Jianmin

Abstract:An  important  integral  part  of  the  national  system  of  education,upper  secondary  education  serves  as  a crucial  component  linking  compulsory  education  and  higher  education.  According  to  China's  Education  Modernization 2035,China  has  set  the  goal  of  "universal  access  to  upper  secondary  education,"  which,based  on  "universal  access," aims  at  pursuing  upper  secondary  education  with  Chinese  characteristics  so  as  to  build  China  into  a  big  country  of learning,and a great power with rich human resources and outstanding talents. We need to seek theoretical support by clarifying  the  values  contained  in  the  basic  relationships.  Specifically,we  need  to  deal  with  five  relationships:the relationships  between  scale  expansion  and  quality  improvement,between  general  education  and  vocational  education, between   compulsory   education   and   non-compulsory   education, between   balanced   development   and   diversified development,and  between  overall  development  and  partial  development.  Also,we  should  focus  on  consummating educational  standards,adjusting  the  structure  of  educational  supplies,stimulating  the  vitality  of  schools,and  directing the  demands  for  education,and  we  should  change  from  the  stress  on  the  "denotative"  scale  to  the  stress  on  the "connotative" quality so as to promote the overall development of China's upper secondary education.

The Structural VPR Model for the

Evaluation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education

Xu Xiaozhou

Abstract:The determination of evaluation elements and their structure underlies the evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship  education.  This  study,based  on  the  Grounded  Theory  and  interviews, aims  to  explore  the three-dimensional structural VPR evaluation model for innovation and entrepreneurship education. The VPR evaluation model  consists  of  3  first-level  indicators (value,process,and  result),8  second-level  indicators (spiritual  value, realistic  value, policy  input, educational  input, students'  development, enterprise  development, entrepreneurial performance,products and achievements),and 29 third-level indicators. This model,characterized by multi-dimension, multi-levels and multi-components,lays stress on the combination of spiritual value evaluation and realistic value evaluation,the combination of developmental evaluation and performance evaluation,and the combination of short-term evaluation and long-term evaluation. It enriches the evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education,and provides a theoretical reference for the practice of innovation and entrepreneurship education.

The Quality Evaluation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education

——An Empirical Study from 1 231 Colleges and Universities in China

Huang Zhaoxin & Huang Yangjie

Abstract:According to a questionnaire-based survey of 201 034 students and teachers from 1 231 colleges and universities  in  China, the  entrepreneurship  policy  has  helped  the  students  to  be  more  willing  to  participate  in entrepreneurship activities;innovation and entrepreneurship education has further been carried out,but lack of teachers is still the first major problem;the curriculum for entrepreneurship needs to be enriched to be closely integrated with the specialized subjects;entrepreneurship competitions have become an important platform for the students' all-round development,but more competition events need to be put into practice;the teachers make a high evaluation of the process of innovation and entrepreneurship education,with the leadership being the most important factor affecting its quality; and the students also make a high evaluation of its process,with the practice of entrepreneurship being the most important factor affecting their willingness to take entrepreneurial action and their knowledge and skills. Therefore,to consummate China's system for the quality evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship education,we need to establish a chain evaluation system and strengthen the overall quality supervision,develop the core indicators integrating the results and the process,and design quality evaluation schemes at different levels and under different categories.

From Loose Connection to Entity Embedding: The Dilemma of and the Breakthrough in the Integration of Industry and Education in Vocational Education

Hao Tiancong & Shi Weiping

Abstract:From the perspective of organizational sociology,the integration of industry and education in vocational education is in essence the reconstruction of the organizational relationship between vocational colleges and enterprises under the system of the socialist market economy. In the stage of the inter-organizational market relationship,vocational colleges and enterprises are loosely connected,and the integration of industry and education will face such problems as limited  rationality,uncertainty,complexity,speculative  behavior,and  the  "decimal  phenomenon."  To  deepen  the integration of industry and education,we need to promote the transition from loose connection to entity embedding, reconstruct the inter-organizational hierarchical relationship,and apply the concepts of "introducing education into enterprises" and "introducing enterprises into education" to the practice of vocational education. Enterprises should play a major role in the entire process of talents cultivation in vocational education. Through the construction of the regional system for coordinated production conducive to skill accumulation,we will be able to match the industrial structure with the mode of economic operation.

Key words: vocational education; the integration  of  industry  and  education; organizational  sociology; school-running model

How to Promote Preschoolers' Healthy Personality

——An Empirical Study Based on a Field Experiment in Education Across China

Yang Lizhu,Gao Yuwan,Sun Yan & Zhao Nan

Abstract:Preschoolers' healthy personality indicates the healthy,stable and balanced personality traits that are universal and positively adaptable in their personality structure. Personality training should start in early childhood. This study constructed a game program,which involved seeking progress independently and other 8 traits,and 108 detailed game programs with Chinese cultural characteristics for the cultivation of preschoolers' healthy personality. A one-year field experiment in education across China showed the following results:The field experiment produced a significantly satisfactory effect,with the preschoolers in the post-test group scoring significantly higher in personality than those in the control group;after a year of experiment,there was a smaller proportion of low-control and over-control preschoolers, and a larger proportion of adaptable preschoolers. The study concludes that the Chinese game program for the cultivation of preschoolers' healthy personality can effectively promote the development of Chinese preschoolers' healthy personality.

Positive Persistence or Negative Avoidance

——The Impact of the Family Environment on the Academic Persistence of Junior High School Students in Rural Areas

Yang Baoyan & Liu Yujiao

Abstract:The first place for teenagers to learn and grow,the family is an important environment variable affecting adolescents' behavior and academic performance. This study,based on a survey of 317 junior high school students in rural areas,aims to explore the mechanism for the family environment to affect the academic persistence of junior high school students  in  rural  areas.  The  results  show  the  following: There  were  significant  correlations  between  the  family background,the parenting concept,the family tradition,and the academic persistence of the junior high school students in  rural  areas; positive-high  arousal  emotions, positive-low  arousal  emotions  and  negative-low  arousal  emotions mediated between the family background and academic persistence;positive-high arousal emotions and positive-low arousal emotions mediated between the parenting concept,the family tradition,and academic persistence;the beliefs about adversity positively moderated the mediating effect of the parenting concept and the family tradition on academic persistence,namely,the more positive the beliefs about adversity were,the stronger the parenting concept and the family tradition affected academic persistence through positive-high arousal emotions,and vice versa. Based on this,families, schools and the government are supposed to attach importance to family education and the family tradition,and stimulate the endogenous motivation of students' academic persistence to improve the ability of rural families to seek educational opportunities.

Teachers as Lifelong Learners:Shanghai Results and Lessons from the TALIS

Zhu Xiaohu & Zhang Minxuan

Abstract:The Teaching and Learning International Survey(TALIS),an international teacher research project which has so far brought the largest number of countries or regions into participation,aims to help them develop high-quality educational policies and build a high-quality contingent of teachers by collecting and analyzing reliable,timely and comparable data. The teachers from Shanghai showed outstanding performance in the core dimensions of the TALIS: adequate pre-service education,a high degree of professional recognition,a high rate of participation in in-service and tutoring activities,and great advantages in in-service professional development;also,they boasted of distinctive teaching behaviors,a consensus on professional cooperation and innovation,and significantly increasing job satisfaction. The TALIS helps Shanghai understand the major challenges facing the teachers across the globe and the strategies from different countries or regions,thus broadening their horizons in their research into the building of the teaching force. On average,Shanghai has obtained much more investment and support in teachers' professional development than other countries,but it still needs to improve teachers' initiative in professional development. In general,the policies and experience of Shanghai can be kept for reference.

Enlightening Students in Their Daily Life: Teachers' Mission and Ability

Yan Conggen

Abstract:To realize modern education,we need to change our views on education,and conduct education by means of enlightenment in daily life. Teachers need to shoulder the mission of enlightening their students in their daily life by making their students social subjects. To achieve this,teachers need to have the ability to treat them with dignity and provide just protection for them in their daily life at school to help them become self-subjects;they should have the ability to promote consultations and democracy to help their students become interdependent subjects;and they should have the ability to construct a community where "I,we and the community" coexist to help their students eventually become social subjects.

The Double Gestures of Inclusion and Exclusion in the Practices of Schooling

Thomas Stanly Popkewitz

Abstract:Standards are taken as ways of thinking about universal and different events in the practice of everyday life. The standards of education are the principles generated in people's self-reflection and administration of children. These standards relate historically to the rules about who the child is and should be and who is "different" and thus excluded. At the turn of the 20th century,differences and divisions were historically established to make "urban" teachers(at schools left behind)and children in the development of American social and education sciences. The sciences of teaching and learning in America embody cultural theses about kinds of people. These cultural theses inscribe double gestures:the hope of schooling to make all kinds of children who embody modes of living and a moral order;with this hope of inclusion are simultaneous fears of the dangers and dangerous populations. The thinking about the schooling reform as making kinds of people and as double gestures of inclusion and exclusion is a historical method about present schooling and educational research. Also,the double gestures of the schooling reform can help reveal the limits of the contemporary frameworks for American schooling reform.

Strengthen Educational Research in the

New Era and Accelerate the Modernization of Education

Tian Xuejun

Abstract:The field of educational research in China has been penetratingly studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,along with the guiding principles set forth at the 19th session of the CPC National Congress. The in-depth implementation of the CPC Central Committee's general secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on education and the spirit of the National Education Conference has achieved outstanding results in giving consultations on the governance of the country,cultivating talents,creating new theories,guiding educational practice,and directing public opinion. Facing a new environment with a corresponding set of new tasks and requirements,our field of educational research is supposed to fulfill the following missions:First,we should preserve a firm political orientation,arm our minds with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,pay strict attention to political issues,and stand firm on the side of the people;second,we should focus on molding high morals and cultivating talents based on people orientation,build a system of talent cultivation by firmly focusing on that goal and improving the related mechanisms in this regard;third,we should conduct research with Chinese characteristics and standpoints,promote the innovative development of fine Chinese traditions,and attach importance to the creative transformation of overseas experience;fourth,we should highlight quality-oriented research,and improve research quality by exploring the law of education,solving real problems,and creating new research methods;and fifth, we should build a more powerful contingent of educational researchers,arouse their enthusiasm for their work,reduce their workload,create a favorable academic atmosphere,and improve the safeguard mechanism for them.

Key words:new era;educational research;modernization of education

The Contributions of Education to the Green GDP

Chen Ran,Ding Xiaohao & Min Weifang

Abstract:The Green GDP,which genuinely reflects social welfare,social progress and sustainable economic development,can be used to comprehensively measure the role of education in the green GDP accounting system,and embody the real value of education in the economic growth. The previous research literature estimated the contributions of education to the economic growth mainly by means of the traditional national economic accounting system. This study, based on an analysis of the impact of education on the green GDP through the green GDP accounting system,aims to explore the significance of education in economic development,especially in economic sustainable development. The results show that education benefits the national green economic development,and that compared with the traditional GDP,education has a more significant impact on the green GDP. Now important strategic opportunities are facing China, where education plays a more significant role in the new model of economic development.

Key words:Green GDP; sustainable development;contributions of education

Abstract:The history of the development of a specialized subject indicates the history of the increasing knowledge of it,and the rich,layered and updated knowledge of a specialized subject determines the social value andacademic status of the specialized subject. A continuous increase of knowledge in a specialized subject is needed by both the specialized subject itself and social development. Compared with most specialized subjects of socialsciences,pedagogy contains poor and slowly increased knowledge. Therefore,accelerating the increase of knowledge is an urgent task in the development of pedagogy. The key issue lies in focusing on scientific problems,strengthening empirical research,and offering a scientific basis for pedagogy's revealing the rules for education, guiding educational practice, supporting scientific decision-making,and improving talent cultivation.

An Analysis of the "Dewey Effect"A Perspective of Academic History

Dong Biao

Abstract:Dewey's influence on China's education is called the "Dewey effect." The academic field of education explored it by taking various attitudes and using different approaches,and Chinese scholars conducted a deeperresearch into it than their American counterparts. The Dewey effect was uniquely driven by the integration of the traveling theory and communication. The brilliant strategies to produce the Dewey effect included Sinicizing thecultural capital of Dewey's thoughts and expanding the symbolic capital of Dewey's action. The major representations of the Dewey effect included the ideological trends to change methodologies,the knowledge revolution toreconstruct the ideas of education,and the cultural movements to create a new value. The communities bearing the Dewey effect had different stances and attributes. The Dewey effect was revealed by various ways of integratingcommunities and capital in terms of tapping high-quality resources from ideological revolutions,grasping the theoretical instruments for educational reforms,focusing on a beneficial reference to cultural transformation,anddrawing lessons from democratic revolutions.

Reflections on and Reconstruction of the Sociality of Knowledge

Educational Implications from the Knowledge-Based View of Social Realism

Shi Yan & Zhang Xinliang

AbstractSince the end of the 20th centurythe field of sociology of education has offered reflections on whether revealing the social power relations of knowledge does contribute to educational equity. The knowledge-based view of social realismwhich was proposed to fill in the blanks of the theory of knowledge in the education policy so as to provide an alternative scheme to bridge over the chasms between "vision" and "explanation" in the sociology of educationreflects and reconstructs the sociality of knowledge by advocating that the object of knowledge is reality rather than experience that the production of knowledge is featured by emergence in that it can go beyond the specific social and historical conditions under which knowledge is producedand that the objectivity of knowledge is a sort of procedural objectivity with social grounds. This knowledge-based view has changed the study of the cultural effect into the study of the knowledge-based effect since the new sociology of education came into beingthus viewing knowledge itself as a core issue in the sociology of education. This is of great significance to the choice of the knowledge of school curriculumsthe key teaching points in classand the emphasis on teachers' professional knowledge. Meanwhilethis indicates that educational equity in the field of knowledge has been further promoted.

AbstractPlanning is a major advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics,and a great strategy for the CPC's governance of China. Since the reform and opening-upthe planning for education science has played such significant roles as a "weather vane" a "gas station" a "public communication team" and a "night watchman." In the new eraeducational research shouldby means of planningmobilize relevant forcesallocate the resourcesand promote innovations. We are supposed to hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristicsserve as a strict gatekeeper in the planning for education science by imposing strict inspections on politicalprofessional and quality-based mattersmake a correct judgment on the development of educationpaint a good picture of the educational reformestablish a good standard for educational researchbuild a good bridge for educational research by using correct methods to conduct educational researchcultivate qualified talents of educational researchand make a good plan for education science. In particularwe should conduct research into the CPC Central Committee's general secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on educationthe high-quality development of educationthe relationship between education and the population structurethe historical experience of the development of education since the founding of the CPCand other major problems of theory and practice.

History of Chinese Education Study in Forty Years of Reform and Opening-up

——Based on Journal Articles and Doctoral Dissertations

Tian Zhengping & Pan Wenyang

AbstractThe journal articles and doctoral dissertations on the history of Chinese education over the past four decades after reform and opening-up are studied from two dimensions——the historical periods and the educational subjects. It is found that the number of journal articles has experienced a sluggish period before it grows rapidly. The subjects of journal articles are expanding across traditionally focused fields of educational figuresthought and systems to a widespread attention to all kinds of educational forms and problems. The interest in theory of Chinese education is

improved. The research paradigm is characterized by its diversity. Howeverthere are also problems such as poor quality, trivial and repeated themesover attention to the realityand imbalance in the historical periods of the writings. Changes in the number of doctoral dissertations over the past forty years are mainly affected by the number of doctoral programs. As for the historical periods of the dissertationsthere is a preference of modern period to ancient period which trends generally the same with that of the journal articles. In terms of the themes of the dissertationsaffected by the general attention to Gaokao reformthe number of educational systems themed dissertations exceeds those focusing on figures and thought. The dissertations on the themes of educational figures and thought have richer subjects which avoid the minus side of repeated themes of journal articles. In the futurewe should place the improvements of research quality and academic standards in the highest place. And we need to learn how to navigate the fine line between truth and practicability when paying attention to the reality and making positive responses. Moreoverwe should remain open to the changes in research paradigmstheory and methods.

On Historical Evolution and Future Development of Comparative Education

Chen Shijian & Wang Yuan

AbstractWith the constant reforms of China's education and the rapid development of the discipline of education, the theoretical system of comparative education in China has gradually attained mature development. Specificallycomparative education has gradually obtained a clear identity in the debatesthe fields of knowledge have gradually been expanded and enrichedand the disciplinary system has constantly been consummated. All these achievements play a significant role in the prosperity of educational theories and the innovation of educational practice. Howevercomparative education still has problems in the theoretical basisresearch paradigmsand internal motivations. It can be seen from the developments over the 40 years of reform and opening-up that comparative education needs to longitudinally pay more attention to its contemporary significance and offer China's wisdom to serve the educational development of mankindand horizontally widen its compatible value and make unswerving efforts to build an academic community and enhance the internal disciplinary motivations.

Ren Youqun & Gu Xiaoqing

AbstractThe discipline of educational technology started to be established in China in 1978,when the policy of reform and opening-up was carried out. Over the past four decadesit has passed such stages as audiovisual educationinformation technology educationeducation informatizationand intelligence-led educationand has made remarkable achievements in talent cultivationtheoretical researchand discipline practices. Specificallyhigher goals of talent cultivation have been achievedfrom technical support-based auxiliary teaching designing to education ecology designing reshaped by applied information technologydisciplinary knowledge has been continuously enrichedfrom the early disciplinary theory inheritance and development to today's interdisciplinary theoretical innovationand discipline practices have been constantly enrichedfrom the early participation in information technology education and promotion of educational informationization to the guidance of the development of educational informationization by remodeling education ecology. At presentin the background of Educational Informationization 2.0 and intelligence-led educationthe discipline of educational technology develops slowlyand there are still many challenges in the methodological breakthrough of disciplinary theories and the intelligence upgrading of discipline practices. In the futurethe discipline of educational technology is expected to show its advantagesand based on the practice of educational informationizationincrease disciplinary strengthsand gradually build a discipline of educational technology with Chinese characteristics and international standards.

The Anthropology Paradigm of Educational Research and Its Improvement
Sun Jieyuan

 
Abstract: Currently, anthropology paradigm has gradually become an important option in educational research, which has formed the contrast with that of the grand theory in scholar's study in methodology. In the characteristics of connotation, anthropology paradigm takes "other's?vision"and "from others to oneself " as the core, through starting from the "filed", many forms of methods have been derived. However, faced with the complexity and development of educational research, anthropology paradigm shows a certain limitations. Improving the situation, we should follow the countermeasures as follows: to improve the correction of anthropology paradigm in macroscopic level, to rethink the traditional "field" and reconstruct its sense of direction and history, to integrate the meaning of profession and non-profession in field work, to develop "relationship case study" and micro analysis, and to pursue "big positivism" paradigm.Key words: educational research, anthropology paradigm, field

Educational Justice in the Discourse of Marx's Critical Social Justice Theory
Shu Zhiding

  Abstract: What kind of educational justice we strive for depends on how we explain the educational justice. Marx's theory on critical social justice offers us a new way to explain the educational justice. Marx never denies the discussion on justice. He just criticizes the views of justice explained from human rights or legal rights. Taking a historical materialism, he regards knowledge of the social world as the prerequisite to understand justice; at the same time, the elimination of alienation and the free development for all, are seen as the aim of justice. To re-understand Marx's theory on critical social justice aims to correctly grasp the thinking way of Marx's dealing with justice. From such a perspective, the understanding of educational justice should be based on the development of human beings, and the free development for all should be sought after in a desirable educational system. The implications of Marx's theory on critical social justice are very meaningful to Chinese educational reform.
Key words: Marx's educational thought, justice, educational justice

 What Is the Normative Argumentation in Education Research
Jin Shenghong

  Abstract: Education practice is normative reality and should be inquired normatively. Empiricism in education research regards education only as a phenomenal, empirical-descriptive reality and emphasizes empirical research as the fundamental methodology. This results in the neglect of the normative issues and overlooks the valuation and values studies. Education researches include inquiries of issues about the norms, regulations, principles, aims, ideals, ought-to-forms and so on. All of normative issues, questions and problems can only be argued, justified and answered by normative argumentation which does not aim to explain the facts and phenomena. Normative inquiry aims to justify the "ought-to" education and to find the rational truth about education. It provides inevitable knowledge. The justified knowledge of the educational principles, ideals and ought-to-forms, aims is also true, right, sound and worth of practising. They are not only the norms and criterions to evaluate the ideas, opinions, institutions, regulations and actions which actually exist in education phenomena, but also constitute the missions, obligations and responsibilities which call for the agents to put them into education practice. We cannot undertake education practice without the justified norms, principles, aims and ideals which we know through normative inquiries.
Key words: education practice, normativity, normative justification, normative expressions
