Who knows how to choose the research topic of educational science?

To carry out educational scientific research, we should first put forward the problems that need to be solved in educational theory and practice as research topics. Topic selection is the initial link of scientific research and the basic unit of research management. The essence of selecting topics for educational scientific research is to find problems worth studying and expecting to solve. Whether the problem selection has theoretical and practical significance, and whether the angle of the problem is appropriate and ingenious will directly affect the quality and level of research. Therefore, attaching importance to the topic selection is of great significance to the standardization and effectiveness of the topic selection research. Broadly speaking, the topic selection includes two meanings, one is to determine the direction of scientific research, and the other is to choose the problem of research. The significance, characteristics of excellent topics, main sources, process and methods of topics, and expression of topics are described in detail as follows: 1. The significance of topics is 1. Scientific research begins with problem discovery, and putting forward meaningful questions is the starting point of scientific research. Being good at asking questions is the key to scientific research, which determines the value and success of research. Improper topic selection is the most common reason for research failure. Because of this, great scientists, such as Einstein and Bernard in Britain, think that it is often more important and difficult to ask a problem than to solve it. "Because solving a problem may be just a mathematical or experimental skill. Putting forward new problems, new possibilities, and looking at old problems from a new perspective all require creative imagination, marking the real progress of science. " (Einstein and Infield: Evolution of Physics, p. 66) 2. The topic selection determines the direction and level of educational research. The phenomenon and process of education are complex, and there are many problems to be studied, but not every problem is worth studying. In the case of limited manpower, material resources and time, we should first choose those regular problems with overall significance and study them by grasping the internal relations and connections of education, so as to truly play the benefits of educational research. As educators, we should grasp the overall situation in time, correctly handle the relationship between theoretical research and applied research, focus and generality, learning and originality, correctly choose our own research direction and problems, avoid blindness and improve our consciousness. 3. Correct topic selection is the determination of basic research topics for educational researchers to carry out scientific research, which means that researchers should be good at finding, putting forward and forming a meaningful and original problem from the thorough analysis of various contradictions between theory itself, theory and practice, current situation and social development needs. It is a comprehensive reflection of researchers' keen insight, judgment on the situation and courage. Second, the principle of topic selection 1, demand. Demand refers to determining the subject according to the needs of educational development and deepening of educational reform. Pay attention to the research of theory, policy and practice in education development, education reform and school education practice, and strive to make education research serve the decision-making of education administrative departments, the development of education and the deepening of education reform, the practice of school education and family education, and truly play the service function and leading role of education research. This demand is the starting point and belonging point of our topic selection. 2. scientific. Scientific nature means that the topic selection must have theoretical basis, conform to the basic principles of educational science and the basic laws of primary and secondary education, and have certain scientific value. 3. Creativity. The topic selection must be creative and challenging. This is not only the motive principle of educational research, but also the value principle of educational research, otherwise educational research will lose its meaning of existence. 4. Feasibility. Feasibility means that we must attach importance to the possibility of completing the research task and consider the subjective and objective research conditions. Third, the characteristics of excellent topics 1, the problem must be valuable to measure the significance and significance of the topic, mainly in two basic directions: First, whether the selected research topic meets the needs of social development and educational development, whether it is conducive to improving the quality of education and promoting the all-round development of teenagers. Secondly, the topic selection is based on the needs of the development of educational science itself, in order to test, revise, innovate and develop educational theory and establish a scientific educational theory system. Some practical topics of educational research emphasize application value, some emphasize academic value, and some have both. But in either case, we should choose the most meaningful education problem as the research object. 2. Ask questions scientifically and seek truth from facts. The topic selection should be scientific, the guiding ideology and purpose should be clear, and the arguments should be substantial and reasonable. The scientific nature of the topic selection lies in the fact that there must be some basis, which is the practical basis of the topic selection. The research topic comes from practice and has strong pertinence; At the same time, practical experience provides a certain and definite foundation for the formation of the discipline. The scientific nature of the topic selection is also based on the basic principles of educational science, which is the theoretical basis of the topic selection. The theory of educational science will play the role of guidance, standardization, selection and interpretation. Without a certain scientific theoretical basis, it is inevitable that the topic selection will have a low starting point and be blind. It should be noted that the practical and theoretical basis of topic selection restricts the whole process of topic selection and affects the direction and level of topic selection. In order to ensure the scientific authenticity of the topic, it is necessary to fully demonstrate the topic. 3. The question must be specific and clear. The questions to be chosen must be specific, the boundaries should be clear, the scope should be small and not too general. The reason is that whether the problem is specific and appropriate often affects the success or failure of the overall situation. That kind of big, empty, vague and aimless topic is often poor in science. Only when we have a clear and thorough understanding of the problem can we provide the most important basis for building a reference system to guide the research direction. Therefore, the topic should not be chosen too wide, too big and too complicated. Han Feizi pointed out in the article "Yu Lao": "The world's difficulties must be easy, and the world's major events must be done in detail." In other words, start small. 4. Questions should be novel and original. The selected problems should be problems that have not been solved or completely solved by predecessors. Through research, they should be innovative, innovative and contemporary. To do this, we must consult widely and deeply the literature and investigation, understand the current level and achievements of the subject to be studied at home and abroad, and know whether anyone has studied or is studying or will study similar problems. Only by making breakthroughs and innovations on the basis of the original research results can the research be meaningful. 5. The problem must be feasible. The so-called feasibility means that the problem can be studied and has realistic possibilities. Specific analysis, feasibility includes the following three conditions: First, objective conditions. Besides the necessary information, equipment, time, capital, technology, manpower and theoretical preparation, there are also scientific possibilities. The second is subjective conditions. Refers to the researcher's original knowledge, ability, foundation, experience and expertise, the materials he has mastered and his interest in the subject. In a collaborative research group, people from different majors complement each other, so that the overall research benefits can be truly brought into play. For young people who are just toddlers, it is best to choose those topics that I have considered for a long time and are most interested in. Teachers who are engaged in practical work in the front line of education should choose small and practical topics. Self-raised research questions are more likely to stimulate self-confidence and responsibility, and more likely to exert creativity. The third is timing. The key period must be grasped when selecting a topic, and when to propose a research topic depends on the development and maturity of relevant theories, research tools and conditions. For example, the research on the implementation of the new curriculum standard is the hottest, and all provincial projects have given the green light in this regard. Fourth, the main source of the topic 1. It is an urgent problem to put forward this topic from the needs of the development of education situation. As a school, we should first put forward topics from the needs of school development, such as the creation of school characteristics, the school-based training of teachers, the preparation for the implementation of new curriculum standards, the development of school-based courses, and the transition from exam-oriented education to quality education. These are all topics worthy of study at present. 2. Problems that need to be solved in the discipline construction often raised in the development of educational theory. It is necessary to reveal the contradiction between the existing theory and the empirical facts, as well as the logical contradiction within the theory; It includes not only some unknown research topics in the planning and construction of discipline system, but also critical questions about the traditional concepts and conclusions of existing educational theories and questions raised in academic debates. For example, moral education and mental health education, the difference and connection between them, the clarification of their relationship, and the problems that should be paid attention to in educational practice; Separate teaching and combined teaching, advantages and disadvantages, and so on. 3. Practical problems raised in educational practice, especially the contradictions reflected in educational reform. First, look for the internal relationship between rich educational and teaching experiences and facts, and reveal their internal laws; The second is to find problems from the debate. For example, how to improve the quality of education on a large scale, how to reduce the heavy academic burden of primary and secondary school students, the emergence and correction of puppy love among middle school students, the analysis and countermeasures of the influence of social environment on teenagers, the research on the transformation education of moral underachievers, the education and transformation of junior high school students with learning difficulties, the current situation research, the problems and countermeasures of rural education, the research on the relationship between youth, middle school students and youth, and the practice and theoretical research of community education need to be expanded and deepened. 4. Finding problems from daily observation is an important way for primary and secondary school teachers to put forward research topics. Such as: the factor analysis of primary and secondary school students' creative ability structure, the study of middle school students' learning characteristics, the study of mental health and psychological counseling, the study of middle school students' friendship and partnership, etc. 5. Finding problems from the intersection of different disciplines is a blank field between interdisciplinary subjects. Under the trend of comprehensive development of modern science, a large number of new problems have emerged in interdisciplinary fields, such as mental health education and moral education, and the relationship between mental health education and various disciplines; Study on the relationship among environmental education, subject education and moral education. 6. Put forward the topic from the analysis and summary of current domestic and international educational information, introduce advanced educational ideas and theories at home and abroad, and determine the special research according to the actual situation in China and the region. 7. Choosing subjects from the subject guides or plans formulated by various organs is based on the basic principles, objectives and tasks of the development of educational science during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. After full discussion, 1 1 non-disciplinary topics and 25 disciplinary topics are formed, which can be selected by schools and teachers in combination with their own reality. Because most of these topics are general, instructive and wide-ranging, schools and teachers need to make corrections according to their own reality and ability, focusing on the big picture and starting from small things. V. The process and method of selecting the topic 1. There should be a clear and relatively stable research direction. Beginners are always interested in several research directions at first. If you want to achieve real results and achievements in one aspect, you must focus on one or two directions. The research direction discussed here has three meanings: one is the general direction, the other is the direction of a certain subject field, and the third is the personal main direction of researchers. The main direction of personal research is restricted by the former. Only by bringing personal studies into a series of disciplines with strong vitality can personal studies be developed, which is the requirement of the development of modern society. 2. Be good at decomposing a problem. We should decompose a big problem into many interrelated problems according to the internal logic system, so as to find the steps and related networks to solve this problem. That is, the problem to be studied is expanded into a problem network with a certain hierarchical structure, so that the topic can be selected on the basis of the concretization of the problem. The correct decomposition of the problem is actually what kind of ways and steps the project should solve, thus providing a basis for the project demonstration. Being good at analyzing problems is also an important basic skill for starting scientific research. 3. Be good at changing the formulation of questions and making them form a series. Being good at changing the formulation of problems means constantly asking questions from a new angle. As a scientific researcher, we should not only be good at asking questions, but also be good at asking questions from a new angle Don't stick to the old rules and existing theories, find the growing points of various developments according to the requirements of modern social education development, and gradually deepen the research problems. Problem transformation also means that when a problem is solved, we should seize the opportunity to turn to other related problems in time, which is manifested as a series of extended problems. In other words, it is necessary to make the research topics related along a certain vein. 4. Demonstrate the selected theme. Project demonstration is to analyze, predict and evaluate the selected project. The purpose is to avoid the blindness of topic selection. This argument is also a kind of research, which must be based on detailed information, complete references and detailed analysis to support my own proposition on this subject. Through project demonstration, further improve the project plan and create conditions for implementation. The topic demonstration mainly answers the following questions: (1) The nature and types of research questions. (2) The urgency and pertinence of this study have theoretical value and practical significance. (3) The level and trend of the preliminary research of this subject. Including the basis of previous research and others' research, existing conclusions and disputes. And then explain what innovations and breakthroughs have been made in the research of this topic. (4) the theoretical and factual basis and limitations of this topic, the possibility of research, and the basic conditions of research (including personnel structure, task allocation, material equipment and budget, etc.). ) and whether substantive progress can be made. (5) Research strategies, steps and results. On the basis of systematic analysis and synthesis, write a concise, clear, specific and general demonstration report, which is generally about 500 to 600 words. The project demonstration report is not only used to declare the research project, but also used to publish the opening and preface of the paper. For major topics, it is often necessary to write an opening report and pass the deliberation of peer experts. The contents of the opening report generally include: (1) the title of the topic; (2) The purpose and significance of this study (that is, the practical and theoretical significance of studying this project); (3) The main contents of the study; (4) The research status of this subject at home and abroad, and what breakthroughs are expected; (5) Complete the condition analysis of this topic, including personnel structure, data preparation, scientific research methods, etc. The expression of the content of intransitive verb project The so-called project is a research project established from the problems indicated by the research direction. The direction defines the theme, and the theme indicates the direction. The project title must be carefully scrutinized, generally explaining three points: (1) the research object; (2) Problems to be studied; (3) Research methods. For example, the topic of "experimental research on the cultivation of junior high school students' sense of social responsibility" is aimed at junior high school students. The research problem is the cultivation of social responsibility, and the research method is experimental method. The research on the construction and operation of community education model in small towns takes community education in small towns as the research object. The research problem is the construction and operation of community education model, and the research method is action research. Practice and Research on Training and Development of Key Teachers in Remote Rural Junior High Schools is aimed at teachers in remote rural junior high schools. The research problem is the cultivation and development of backbone teachers, and the research method is action research. Statement requirements: (1) concise, appropriate and clear. (2) Common sentence expressions. Word count requirement: generally no more than 20 words. It is too long. You can use the subtitle form. Author: I came to Yaolin District Education College.
