What is educational research?
Educational research is a scientific exploration activity for people to deepen their understanding of educational theory and practice.

Engaged in educational research must abide by the ethical principles of research, including the principles of voluntariness, anonymity, confidentiality and harmlessness.

As a scientific cognitive activity, educational research must be guided by scientific theories and adopt scientific methods and attitudes, so as to obtain reliable information and draw a conclusion that conforms to objective reality.

Educational research includes at least three aspects:

First, there is a clear research purpose, that is, to develop educational theory or solve practical problems in education.

Second, there are specific research objects, that is, phenomena or problems in the development of educational theory and practice.

Third, it is necessary to use research methods scientifically and reasonably to make the research process scientific and systematic.
