First, the significance of writing research papers

These research reports and papers are:

1, a faithful record of researchers' ideological development.

2. The symbol of the level and value of discipline research.

3, an important form of academic exchange and promotion of scientific research achievements. (across time and space)

4. Once again, it is an important practical activity to deepen original research results, improve one's research level and develop one's research ability.

Two. Types and structure of research reports

(1) type

1, empirical research report

2. Literature research report

3. Theoretical research report

(2) Structure

Title, signature, abstract and keywords, preface, text, conclusion, notes, references and appendices.

1, empirical research report: such as education investigation report, experiment report, experience summary report, etc. Mainly use facts to explain the problem, the materials strive to be specific and typical, informative and reliable, and the format is standardized. This kind of report requires the introduction and analysis of relevant information, data and typical cases, summing up experience, finding out laws, pointing out problems and making suggestions. This kind of research report pays attention to both theory and practice, and is often related to contact research methods.

2. Literature research report: mainly using literature as research materials, non-contact research methods as the main content, textual research, analysis, comparison and synthesis of literature as the main content, focusing on the information, progress and trend of a certain aspect of education, and commenting and summarizing articles as the main forms of expression. Generally used in educational history and literature review research.

3. Theoretical research report: narrow sense paper. The main content is to explain the theoretical understanding of a certain thing and a certain problem, focusing on the nature and regularity of the research object. Unique views, novel opinions, profound philosophy, strict logic and personalized language style are its inherent characteristics. There is no empirical research process in theoretical research reports, so there are higher requirements for researchers' logical analysis ability and thinking level, as well as higher professional theoretical literacy.

There are three basic elements in the paper: first, the topic, that is, the proposition and viewpoint whose authenticity will be verified (demonstrated). The main source of the paper is the hypothesis put forward by the research topic and the result of the hypothesis verification by the research. Finally, the paper is to demonstrate the authenticity of the topic and put forward a clear argument. The second is the argument, that is, the basis to prove the authenticity of the topic. The source of the argument should be reliable and effective factual materials obtained in the research process, including qualitative and quantitative materials. The third is argumentation, that is, the discussion process of proving the topic with arguments. Argumentative writing is a comprehensive reflection of the article's structural level, the logic and rigor of material organization, the correctness, scientificity and profundity of the article's thought, and the accuracy, effectiveness and skill of language expression.

The paper is different from the empirical research report. It generally extracts the most important, wonderful and creative contents and achievements in scientific research and expresses them in concise and clear language. The paper does not include too many specific research methods and processes, but emphasizes the innovation and academic value of the content. The results of any research topic can be expressed in papers.

How to write a research report on educational science

(A) the types of educational research reports

Educational scientific research report is an important embodiment of educational scientific research achievements, and it is also the main form to reveal educational laws.

Educational scientific research reports can be divided into four categories according to their contents and writing forms: descriptive research reports, empirical or experimental research reports and documentary research reports.

Discussion research report: this is a research report aimed at clarifying the nature and regularity of the research object.

Descriptive research report: this is a research report, which aims to explain what the research object is and what happened.

Empirical and experimental research report: this is a research report aimed at explaining the relationship between phenomena or things, the mutual cause and effect, and the causes and ways of phenomena.

Literature research report: this is a research report based on oral, written, audio-visual and other materials, which aims to analyze and identify the information, level, process, controversy and trend of a certain research.

(B) the basic composition of education and scientific research reports

L, full text abstract: Abstract is an overview of the research work; Must be able to accurately reflect the content and purpose of the report, the text is clear and easy to read, try to be faithful to the report and avoid comments. The number of words is between 250 and 300, with a maximum of 600.

2. The purpose and significance of the research.

3. The simple process of research work.

4. Research object, scope and methods.

5. Briefly introduce the work done by predecessors at home and abroad on this issue.

6. Analysis of research results. This part is the core of the report. Its writing work should be clearly described according to the hypothesis or purpose of the research, that is, the description of the research results. This part can not only be described in words, but also displayed with the help of charts, from which important research results can be reflected more clearly and intuitively.

7. Discussion: The discussion is about whether the analysis of the research is appropriate. An amendment should be proposed.

8. Conclusion: It must be based on a large number of materials and analysis results to show the reliability of the conclusion.

9. Suggestion: In addition to the same requirements as educational research papers, we should also pay attention to two points. First, according to the conclusion of the research and the present situation of the research problems, some reform suggestions are put forward for the leading departments to choose. The content of the proposal cannot be irrelevant to the conclusion of the report, otherwise it will lose its meaning and value. The expression of suggestions should leave room, not be too arbitrary, and not be influenced by personal emotions. Second, suggestions for further research should point out the necessity and possibility of further research, the areas that need to be improved in future research, and related issues that need further research, so as to provide reference for future generations' research.

(3) Several basic principles of writing educational scientific research reports.

In order to see the individuality, this paper mainly introduces the writing of empirical research reports, and it is not difficult to understand the individuality of such reports.

How to write a good empirical research report? Let's talk about a few basic principles first

1. Who wants to study the data and examples listed in the report according to the facts? All data and examples should be true facts, and there should be no falsehood, fabrication or fabrication. The causal analysis of educational phenomena and the exploration of educational principles and laws in the report should also be based on facts. Every sentence in the scientific research report is decisive. It must be based on sufficient, credible and convincing facts. Of course, scientific research reports must also distinguish a large number of factual materials needed to study problems from the most convincing factual materials that should be cited when writing reports. Some factual materials, if not closely related to the research topic, should bear the pain and give up what one favours; Some factual materials should be made into intuitive forms such as tables and legends as far as possible.

2. The content of the discussion is logical. The contents of the empirical research report are generally consistent with the logical development order of the research work. In order to ensure the logic of the research report, we should first consider the development order of the whole research work, and then consider the expression of the report. The logic of the research report is a portrayal of the logic of the whole research idea. Without a good research foundation, you can never write a good research report. Scientific research reports must absolutely and truly reflect the objective situation, and all descriptions, explanations, inferences and quotations must be appropriate. Use words and expressions as accurately as possible. Concepts should be expressed in scientific terms as far as possible, and common sense terms should be avoided to avoid confusion or ambiguity for readers. Of course, the text of the research report must also be simple and clear, fluent, not only clear, but also accurately and scientifically express the research results.

3. References should indicate the source. You can quote and adopt other people's scientific research achievements in educational scientific research reports, but you must respect other people's labor. On the one hand, we should evaluate and quote realistically; On the other hand, don't turn other people's achievements into your own. Therefore, in the research report, whenever there are quotations from other people's data, research results or opinions, they must be annotated or explained to show the readers the boundaries of the results.
