西方比较教育研究范式述评

Research Paradigms in Comparative Education in Western Countries

本文依据社会学对研究范式的界定，从研究范式产生的背景、研究目的、本体论、认识论、方法论以及研究者价值观等方面分析比较教育研究的实证主义研究范式、解释主义研究范式、批判理论研究范式、后现代主义研究范式、混合研究范式和思辨研究范式。

The paper classifies western countries' comparative education research paradigms into six categories: positivism paradigm, hermeneutic paradigm, critical theory paradigm, post-modernism paradigm, mixed method paradigm, and theoretical thinking paradigm. Based on the definition of research paradigm in sociology, this paper discusses these paradigms in terms of background, research objectives, ontology, epistemology, methodology and researchers' view of values.
