1, comprehensive application of multiple methods: preschool education and scientific research are increasingly inclined to use multiple methods for research, such as observation, investigation, experiment and case study. Through the comprehensive application of various methods, we can understand the phenomena and problems of preschool education more comprehensively and improve the reliability and effectiveness of the research.
2. Interdisciplinary research: Preschool education and scientific research pay more and more attention to interdisciplinary research methods and perspectives. Preschool education problems often involve many disciplines, such as psychology, pedagogy, sociology and so on. Interdisciplinary research can promote the deepening and innovation of preschool education research and provide more comprehensive solutions.
3. Practice orientation: preschool education and scientific research pay more and more attention to the combination with practice. Researchers tend to apply scientific research results to practical education to promote the improvement and development of preschool education. Practice-oriented research methods can better meet the actual needs of preschool education and improve the practicality and operability of research.
4. Data-driven: With the development of information technology, preschool education and scientific research pay more and more attention to data collection and analysis. Researchers can use big data, data mining and other technologies to deeply analyze the current situation and problems of preschool education and provide scientific basis for decision-making.
5. Qualitative research methods: Qualitative research methods are more and more widely used in preschool education and scientific research. Qualitative research methods can deeply understand the views, experiences and behaviors of preschool children and educators, reveal the meaning and connotation behind them, and provide in-depth insights for the improvement of preschool education.
Development trend of scientific research methods in preschool education
1. Diversification of research methods: The research methods of preschool education will be more diversified, including the combination of quantitative research and qualitative research, and the application of mixed methods. Researchers will use different methods to collect and analyze data, so as to have a more comprehensive understanding of the problems and challenges faced by preschool education.
2. Interdisciplinary research: Preschool education and scientific research will pay more attention to interdisciplinary cooperation and research. Researchers will cooperate with psychologists, sociologists, educators and other experts in different fields to explore the complexity and diversity of preschool education.
3. Importance of empirical research: With the development of preschool education and the formulation of policies, the importance of empirical research will be further highlighted. Policymakers and educators will rely more on the results of scientific research to guide practice and decision-making.
