远程教育学术期刊论文研究范式的元分析

Meta-analysis of Research Paradigm in Distance Education Journals

过去十几年远程教育研究的快速发展，要求我们对远程教育研究进行回顾与反思，特别是对研究的方法与路径进行反思和梳理。该研究从研究范式的视角对国内八本远程教育领域核心期刊近五年来的3504篇文献进行了元分析，从研究范式、研究方法、研究主题、研究规范性四个方面进行了分析与比较。研究结果发现，我国远程教育类学术期刊中实证主义、阐释主义、批判主义、实用主义等四类研究范式的研究论文占到了文章总量的40%左右，研究方法多样，研究主题广泛，实证主义研究论文的规范性整体较高。最后，作者参考国际远程教育学术期刊和学术研究的现状，为国内远程教育研究论文提出了五条建议：提高成熟度、提高适切性、提高多样性、提高规范性、提高严谨性，希望该项研究能够为国内远程教育学术期刊和研究者提供参考。
