Ecology: The scientific research of teaching should attach great importance to the ecology and culture of teaching, that is, to study the relationship between teaching problems and national environment, as well as the differences and characteristics of education under different cultural backgrounds.
5. Reflective, educational scientific research should have the characteristics of reflection and self-correction, that is, through the reflection and examination of the research process and results, the research methods and conclusions are constantly revised and improved. Improve the accuracy and reliability of the research.
6. Applicability: Teaching and scientific research should be applied, that is, the research results can be directly applied to solve practical educational problems and improve educational practice, providing scientific basis for educational policy and reform.

The main characteristics of educational science research different from natural science research and thinking science research are as follows:
1. has strong comprehensiveness and integrity.
2. The research cycle is very long.
3. Educational researchers and practitioners actively participate and have a broad mass base.
Principles of educational research
1 the principle of objectivity. It means that researchers must respect facts in the research process, study educational phenomena and laws based on the true nature of objective things and the social life and physical and mental development of the educated, and oppose subjective speculation and self-judgment. "It is the basic principle that researchers must follow.
2. The principle of innovation. It means that in educational research, researchers should discover new problems, put forward new viewpoints, draw new conclusions and generate new understanding on the basis of inheriting previous research results.
3. The principle of integrating theory with practice. It refers to the formation and development of educational theory from the actual needs and situation of education, and strives to guide educational practice with educational theory, thus promoting the development of educational theory and practice.
4. Ethical principles. It is required that educational research should follow the basic social ethics, and should not infringe on the rights and interests of the research object or research participants, so as to avoid causing physical and mental harm to them.
