大数据迷潮下的教育研究及其想象力

Educational Research and Its Imagination in Lost Tide of Big Data

基于大数据的教育研究具有非常广阔的应用前景，但是缺乏反思的盲目追捧有可能使大数据沦落为一种\＂概念炒作＂和\＂跟风迷潮＂。大数据＂迷潮＂源于人类对于“确定性寻求”的执着欲望，其实质是日益泛滥的实证主义的极端化。大数据在为教育研究带来机遇的同时，也因为其局限性带来了相应的挑战。我们应积极发挥教育研究的想象力，正视并超越这种大数据＂迷潮＂。

The education research based on big-data has promising application (broad application prospects)， however， the blindly following without reflection may cause that the big-data would be one kind of concept speculation or lost tide of follow. The lost tide of bigdata may trace back to the persistent desire for “the quest for certainty”， and the essential of which is the extreme of positivism. The challenges have been brought to education research as well as the opportunities from the big-data as its limitation. We should use the imagination of education research to envisage and transcend the lost tide of big-data.
