1, definition and objectives:
Teaching research (educational research) refers to the process of researching, exploring and improving education and teaching practice. Its goal is to improve teachers' teaching quality and promote students' learning effect and development.
Scientific research refers to the process of systematic research, exploration and innovation in a specific field or problem. Its main goal is to promote the development of subject knowledge, acquire new scientific theories and discover or solve practical problems.
2. Research object:
The research objects of teaching and research are mainly education and teaching process, education management, students' learning and growth and other issues related to education and teaching.
The research objects of scientific research are different according to different disciplines and fields, which can be a wide range of fields such as natural phenomena, social problems and technological development.
3, methods and means:
Teaching and research mainly adopts the methods of field observation, teaching experiment, questionnaire survey and teaching reflection to improve and optimize the teaching process through teaching practice and reflection.
Scientific research uses laboratory research, statistical analysis, data mining, model building and other methods to explore problems through scientific empirical research and put forward theoretical assumptions or solutions.
4. Application direction:
The main application direction of teaching research is education and teaching practice. The research results are mainly used to improve curriculum design, teaching methods and educational policies, so as to improve students' learning effect and teachers' teaching level.
The application fields of scientific research are more extensive, which can involve scientific and technological innovation, industrial development, social governance, medical health and other fields, and its research results play an important role in promoting social and human progress.
Importance of scientific research
Promote discipline development: Scientific research is the cornerstone of discipline development. Through exploration and research, we will promote the accumulation of subject knowledge and theoretical progress, constantly expand the boundaries of disciplines and improve the academic level of disciplines.
Innovation to solve problems: scientific research is devoted to solving practical problems and challenges. Through scientific research methods and innovative thinking, we will provide new theories, technologies and solutions to promote social and economic development and improve people's quality of life.
Support decision-making: scientific research results can provide scientific basis and reference opinions for policy making and decision-making, help decision makers make wise decisions, and promote the government and all sectors of society to formulate sustainable development strategies.
