1, what is the research topic?

There are many definitions of subject research. What is discussed here is the research on the topic done by the front-line teachers. In fact, the real research on education and teaching topics can only glow its vitality and value if it is rooted in our teaching practice and reality. At present, advocating front-line teachers to carry out subject research is to use advanced educational theory to guide specific education and teaching work. By doing topics-finding problems-solving problems, we can solve problems and puzzles in school development, classroom teaching, teacher growth, family education and other aspects in this scientific and standardized form. "Front-line teachers' participation in educational and scientific research activities actually requires teaching activities to be carried out at a higher level, that is, starting with strengthening the scientific research components contained in daily teaching, re-examining the teaching process with scientific research ideas, finding problems, thinking about problems, forming problem-solving strategies, and verifying and perfecting them through teaching practice, so that teaching work can gradually develop in an optimized direction, and at the same time, its own quality level can be improved and leapt. "In short: having a research center (that is, theoretical support) and specific operational ideas are the basic requirements for conducting research. Project research should make our daily work scientific.

2. What is the topic of educational research?

The so-called "educational science research" refers to the creative practical activities that investigate, explore, collect, sort out, analyze, summarize and summarize educational phenomena and facts in educational practice under the guidance of certain educational science theories, and then reveal the essence and laws of educational phenomena. The so-called "subject" refers to the problem to be studied. However, all problems are not topics, and topics are not just simple questions. Only by studying the problem in a planned and purposeful way can it be regarded as a subject. Generally speaking, the topic is to treat the problem as a lesson, and research is to understand what you don't know in the problem and examine its essence, nature and instinct.

"Educational scientific research topic" is related to education and teaching, which is a proposition with research necessity and significance, and also a proposition with exploration space. The so-called "inquiry space" refers to a meaningful proposition that others have not set foot in, or few people have set foot in, others have not paid attention to, or few people have paid attention to, others have no clear conclusion, or it is difficult to draw a conclusion after long-term research, or you have different views and viewpoints on similar issues, which need to be explored, studied and demonstrated, or need to be promoted, practiced, tried and verified by academic circles.

Its characteristics are purposefulness, planning, designability, controllability, certain causality and possible innovative discoveries. Problem is the breakthrough point of research, practice is the basic form of research, and thinking is the core of research. Research is not just reflection, reflection is just a form of thinking.

note:

(1) The reform measures of the school are not equal to scientific research, but they can be carried out as scientific research to ensure the scientific decision-making and provide theoretical reference.

(2) Teaching and research activities are not equal to scientific research, but the research of scientific research topics can be carried out in the form of some teaching and research activities, and can be discussed, promoted and summarized through some practical classes.

3. Why do front-line teachers do research?

(1) The needs of teachers' professional growth. The times are developing rapidly, and the pace of educational reform is also very fast. In the information society, if you want to gain a foothold, you must have the awareness and ability to keep learning; We should have the ability of practice and innovation. In order to meet the new requirements of quality education for our teachers, the mode of education and teaching has changed from "experience" to "scientific research". Practice shows that front-line teachers can actively participate in teaching and scientific research practice, consciously study theories, update educational concepts, lead teaching and scientific research with scientific research, and promote teaching reform with teaching and scientific research, which is of great benefit to improving teachers' own quality. Many famous teachers have become the biggest beneficiaries of education and scientific research. It can be said that teachers' participation in educational research is an important way to improve their own quality. "Project research is the most effective way for teachers' lifelong learning.

(2) The need to solve practical problems. Doing research is mainly to solve the problems and puzzles found in education and teaching. These problems include their own teaching practice, students' behavior habits, moral performance, school education and school management mode. We oppose front-line teachers doing research without teaching practice and doing those big and empty topics, which is futile.

(3) It helps to develop a rigorous work style. The rigor of the research also makes teachers' education and teaching more scientific and systematic.

(4) It is helpful to form scientific research consciousness and teaching consciousness. As we all know, it is essential to consult a large amount of information for a project. When you read a lot of books about education and teaching, it will help to form your own teaching philosophy. The practice of teaching and scientific research has not only changed teachers' educational ideas, but also made us form the habit of examining our daily work with new educational ideas. Consciously improve their own educational means and teaching methods, and conduct reflective teaching.

To sum up, educational research is one of the basic ways for contemporary teachers to work, and it is also one of the ways for contemporary teachers to learn. Project-driven and action research are the basic methods of teachers' self-development and self-improvement. Teacher professionalization requires us to study education and realize the transformation from "teacher-oriented" to "scientific research-oriented" teachers.

Basic procedures of education and scientific research

Select a title.

Debate begins

design scheme

Implement research

Use various methods to study and obtain information.

Collect research data

Analyze and collate data

Draw a conclusion, verify and test.

Form and express results.

Write a closing report

(3) How to choose a topic?

(1) Choose the frontier discipline of education and scientific research.

People don't have me, people have me, people are new and special, and people are special and fast, so as to achieve the unity of characteristic innovation.

Take the teaching demand as the first choice, find the intersection and combination point between disciplines, and work hard and make a fuss about hot issues.

(2) Choose blank topics in education and scientific research.

Put forward new theories, viewpoints, concepts and arguments.

Give a new explanation to the existing theory and deepen the demonstration.

Explore new laws of things or turn the unknown into the known, deepen our understanding, find new information on controversial issues, put forward new ideas, make breakthroughs and be recognized by people.

Correct the mistakes of the original theoretical concepts and principles.

Open up a new research direction in the frontier field of this discipline, put forward problems of research value, and conduct scientific demonstration for the first time.

(3) Choose a subject that is contrary to the traditional view.

For example, "behavior should not be included in the scope of ideological and moral assessment."

Declare war on traditional ideas on major issues that plague the development of education

(4) Select applied research topics.

Choose typical educational practice experience as the topic, and put forward the problems and solutions in common educational phenomena. A comparative study of the practical links between open education and general education, and a study on the collection and arrangement of modern Chinese online teaching resources.

(5) Choose subjects with mature subjective conditions.

Starting from professional expertise, hobbies and research ability, choose topics with deep experience, many practices and thorough research.

(6) Choose subjects with relatively good objective conditions.

Theoretical conditions, data, information equipment, tools, atmosphere and environment

(7) Choose controversial topics.

Debate other people's views and opinions, expound your own new views, or throw an inconclusive view and opinion to cause controversy.

(8) Select micro-projects with appropriate scale.

Usually, the narrower the topic, the smaller the topic, and the easier it is to explain the problem thoroughly; The wider the topic, the less clear the example, the less clear the truth, and it is difficult to make a good work without depth. The topic is relatively small, the style is relatively new, and the discussion is more thorough.

The research on teaching materials, teaching methods and teaching objects can be deepened.

(D) How to propose educational research topics? What are the conditions, main points and connotations of the research?

"Proposition" is the process of determining the most appropriate expression of the content to be studied with the shortest words. This process is not only a process of comparing and selecting the research contents, but also a process of thinking and predicting the possible situations in the research, or a process of expressing the topics to be studied in words, in which there are modifications, but not just the skills of making sentences in words. Understanding, conciseness, plainness and accuracy are the most basic requirements. Don't be big, empty, long and embellished. Once the proposition is determined, the relevant definitions and concepts must be expressed accurately. To put it bluntly, you know what you want to do, why you want to do it, and how to do it.

The first condition of research is people. Researchers, especially Edition, have strong scientific research consciousness and consciousness, and liking and interest are the biggest internal driving forces. You must also have some knowledge and ability. Knowledge is the basis of research, which is both extensive and specific. Ability is the guarantee for people to engage in research, including the ability to consult documents, the ability to compare and identify, the ability to express discussions, and the ability to organize and coordinate. And there are feasible methods, the questionnaire should design questions, the weight of each item should be important, reasonable and scientific, the data processing should master the necessary methods, the discussion and debate should have a guiding path, and the conclusion should be scientific and dialectical. The research of the subject should have necessary funds and equipment.

The essence of subject research includes the necessity, importance and possibility of studying the subject, that is, significance and function. Its connotation is embodied in the characteristics of subject research, that is, the possible value different from other propositions. There is no special problem, and what you do with it, even if you have studied it, is worthless.

(5) How to draw up the research plan of the subject? What contents must be clearly written in the research plan of the subject?

Five basic principles must be followed when making a project research plan:

(1) Adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts. Objectively and realistically based on the reality of this city, county, town and school.

(2) Adhere to the principle of democracy. Doing scientific research is not politics, nor can we have the final say at once, let alone oppress people with officials. People-oriented is the basis of research. The host should be good at brainstorming and listening to reason, not who has the final say.

(3) We must adhere to the planning principle. Since it is a plan, it must be thorough and comprehensive, and we can't lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another.

(4) Adhere to the principle of feasibility. Feasibility is operability, not an armchair strategist, but a method, measure and procedure.

(5) Adhere to the scientific principle. Seek truth from facts, speak the truth, do not copy others, and do not build cars behind closed doors. It must have the functions of foresight, guidance, guidance and standardization.

The contents that must be clearly written in the project research plan include:

(1) Organization of this study: leading group, steering group, research members of the research group and their respective tasks;

(2) The background, present situation, significance and function of this study;

(3) the objectives, contents and steps of the research;

(4) Principles and methods of research;

(5) Prediction of the phased results and the final results of this study;

(6) The possible difficulties and countermeasures in the research process of this topic;

(7) Budget and sources of funds for this study;

(8) The task decomposition diagram and schedule calendar of this study.

(VI) Research methods of educational research topics

We should consider and formulate the research methods of the subject;

Investigation and research method: that is, the method of solving problems through investigation and research. This method is often used to make investigation reports.

Experimental comparison method: that is, through experiments and comparisons, regular research methods are found. For example, the application research of a certain method. Experience summary method: that is, a research method of summing up experience, understanding and upgrading essence. For example, the summary of phased results. Integration of research and training: a research method of synchronous and coordinated development of research and training. For example, school-based training.

Behavior analysis: that is, through the analysis of the behavior of the object of opinion, to find a solution to the problem. For example, attending classes and evaluating classes. Case tracking method: that is, by tracking cases, explore ways to solve problems. Such as solutions to specific problems. choose

Any method, or the alternate use of multiple methods, should proceed from the reality of the research, and should not be mechanically copied.

(7) How to declare the project?

First of all, we should make a good declaration plan and application report. The application plan includes two parts: the research plan and the application report. The research plan is to tell the project department how you are going to do the research; The application report is to show your application intention to the project department and ask for approval.

The application report should clarify the subject source, application reasons, application conditions and classification, and then fill in the application form and review book as required. (There are tables). The topic demonstration column needs to fill in the purpose, significance, content, key points, difficulties, current situation, research strength and conditions of this topic; The plan and expected results and funds are also in the table, which is actually a decomposition of the research plan. The second is to submit an application report. The application report shall clearly state the reasons for the application and the acceptable conditions. As for whether the project can be established, the examination and approval department will give you the answer.

(eight) how to open the topic after the project is established?

Once the project is approved by the examination and approval department, it must be started first. The so-called opening the topic is to break the topic, which is the official beginning of the subject research. We should write an open demonstration report and hold an open report meeting.

(1) The person in charge of the project host's unit reads the notice issued by the superior project, indicating authorization.

(2) The project director expounds the theoretical and practical value, research objectives, research contents and research parties of the project research.

Methods and research methods, research steps and activity arrangements, tasks and requirements of sub-research groups.

(3) Invite the leaders and experts attending the meeting to conduct scientific argumentation and put forward suggestions.

(4) Organize molecular research groups to discuss, understand relevant information and implement the spirit of the meeting. (The project leader shall be all members of the research group.

Members copy the study materials closely related to the research plan, so that all members can deepen their understanding of the research plan and open up new ideas. )

(5) Hold a meeting of members of the research group, invite relevant experts to give guidance, and it is essential that guests and leaders speak, and members express their views and opinions.

Family discussion, etc. Sub-projects are completed by collaborators, who will also attend the meeting.

The host is the protagonist of the opening ceremony, and the protagonist is the key role. It is necessary to decompose the contents of this research plan.

Ming. It is necessary to tell you clearly from the beginning what this topic is to study, how to study it, and what the expected result may be.

Sample, possible problems and situations encountered in the process of research. In particular, we should understand the key points and difficulties of this study.

(9) How to effectively guide and manage the research process?

A good beginning is half the battle, but in too many cases, a hundred miles is half the battle. The reason is often a failure in the management of the process, not an anticlimactic one, and the things made are hopeless; Or after autumn, even if there is harvest, it is not "full" and ignores the research process. Process is a carrier, which carries all kinds of attempts and changes in the development of disciplines. Without colorful processes, there will be no heavy and real results. Process is the process of development. The ability to guide and manage the process reflects the scientific research and academic level of the host. The research activities of general topics include: special lectures, overseas visits, educational surveys, educational experiments, on-site observation, lectures and lectures, photo exhibitions, audio and video playback, special research and discussion, and typical experience exchange.

In the research process of implementing effective guidance and management, we need to pay attention to the following links:

(1) Collect phased results in time. According to the plan (at the end of the month), communicate more (report, discuss and learn from each other) and often encourage (observe, report, show, publish and reward).

(2) Carefully manage the research files. Cataloging is designed in advance, and documents, achievements and pictures are numbered by category, and the names and sources are filled in, which is convenient for reference over time.

(3) the host should know fairly well. Use your head, move your legs, move your mouth and write it.

(4) In the process of research, we should handle and coordinate the relationship between daily teaching and research. In fact, the two are not contradictory. If you work with a research mentality and spirit, you will conduct research, study, project and daily education and teaching in the process of work.

Make clear the research direction, closely connect with the reality, do not fight unprepared battles, do not blindly catch up with the situation, and follow the fashion. Design the proposition from the lowest starting point, seek the way to solve the real problem, and make the scheme operable. I am not busy, I should be willing to serve everyone, dare to listen to different opinions, actively rely on participants, pay attention to process guidance and management, and don't take it for granted behind closed doors. Weather, geographical location and human harmony are many factors contributing to the success of the research. We should make full use of and give full play to all forces that can provide convenience and support for research.

(10) How to present the final results of the research?

The final result consists of two parts: one part is the work report of this study, that is, the conclusion report, written by the project host, and its content consists of four parts:

(1) Summary: Summarize the basic situation of the research, including the level, document number, research background, members of the research group, main research steps, process and time development.

(2) Methods: Do a good job in the practice, experience and experience of this topic, including guiding ideology, research strategies and specific methods, how to win over leaders to improve conditions, deal with various relationships, and how to popularize phased results.

(3) Achievements: List various forms of theoretical achievements, application achievements, social benefits or phased achievements obtained in this study.

(4) Evaluation: Evaluate the achievements and shortcomings, and put forward suggestions and opinions on the application and popularization of the achievements and the further deepening of this scientific research.

The conclusion report is a summary of the work to implement the research plan and ensure the completion of the research task, and it is also an important text for project evaluation and acceptance.

The other part is the final form of project research results, including courseware, teaching design, attendance records, photos, students' works, papers, research reports, investigation reports, collections and so on. , should also be written or edited by the project host.

(1 1) How to conduct retrieval and novelty retrieval?

When necessary, we should search for novelty in the final results of research. Novelty is an authoritative judgment on the innovative components and value of the final results of research. The moderator will apply to the scientific and technological intelligence agency with the qualification of retrieval and novelty retrieval, and the other party will be hired by professionals after accepting the application, and then give a conclusion in the retrieval and novelty retrieval report. There are special paperwork forms for retrieving novelty reports.

(12) How to apply for a conclusion? Identification? How to declare an award?

After all the above work is completed, the moderator can bring the original approval document of this topic, the final report and results of this topic research, the retrieval novelty report and application form issued by the science and technology intelligence agency to the department that originally approved this topic, that is, submit the main parts and annex materials. Under normal circumstances, the project department of the project will inform the host according to the scheduled time. After the project department of the project approves your application for closing the topic, it will tell you how to prepare for closing the topic, the two sides will negotiate the time, determine the evaluation method, and then make an evaluation. There are two ways: credit evaluation and social evaluation, and there may be online evaluation in the future. No matter what form, the project department will hire experts to participate. Comment on the spot, and you will come to a conclusion, either "allow the questions to be finished" or "forbid the questions to be finished", and Chen Qing's reasons will be given for you to understand.

Whether the topic is finished or not is the evaluation and definition of the research work of the project department. Although there are identification elements, the conclusion given is only the evaluation and definition of whether the research task of the project is completed after the project is established, which belongs to the self-evaluation of the shopkeeper. In order to get more authoritative recognition, it needs to be recognized by local or higher-level government departments, that is, scientific research management departments, so it is necessary to apply for the identification of this subject. Its procedure is to put forward and submit the appraisal application, and submit the relevant approval documents, conclusion reports, final results and retrieval novelty reports produced by scientific and technological information institutions. After accepting the application, prepare as required and accept the appraisal. There are also two assessment methods: letter assessment and meeting assessment, and there may be online assessment in the future. Similarly, the appraisal department organizes experts to conduct evaluation and discussion, and then draws conclusions on the spot, and will explain the reasons and inform the host. Its expression may be "the research level has reached a certain level."

For example, in the project of "Research on School-based Training Mode" hosted by Associate Professor Li Yanliang of the Municipal Institute of Education, the expert's appraisal opinion is: agree with the appraisal group's opinion and allow the conclusion. The research of this topic is practical and innovative, and its research results have reached the leading level of similar research in the province, which has certain promotion value.

1, leading level; 2. advanced level the level of a, b, c and d in the city, and d is the failing level.

Declaring awards is another link. Whether there is an opportunity to declare the award is not a wishful thinking of the host, so we can only wait. Only awards suitable for this topic can be declared. The procedures, methods and contents of the declaration shall be subject to the provisions put forward by the department that accepts the award declaration and establishes the award. Winning the prize is naturally a happy ending.

(13) How to summarize the topic?

After appraisal, conclusion and award, the research of this topic can come to an end. Finally, the research work of the whole project should be summarized and commended seriously. There are also various forms of summary, the host makes a report, the sub-project leader talks about experience, and the commended person talks about experience. Moreover, the funds used should be settled and announced, and the summary should be reported to the project establishment and the competent department.

(14) About funds

1, research, travel expenses

2, data collection, copying and a small amount of necessary book purchase fees.

3, small conference fees

4, the results of printing fees

5. Consulting fees

6. Achievement appraisal fee (500-800 yuan for each national project expert, refer to 200-500 yuan).

7, publishing subsidies

For example, the expenditure budget of the key project "Research and Experiment of Credit System in Secondary Vocational Schools" in the Tenth Five-Year Plan of Hunan Education Science is as follows:

Project start-up fee: 1 ten thousand yuan.

Project evaluation fee: 20,000 yuan

The cost of literature retrieval and information is about 10000 yuan.

The development cost of computer software is about 40 thousand yuan.

Symposium 15000 yuan ×3 times, about 45000 yuan.

The other 5000 yuan or so.

Total130,000 yuan

Provincial funding of 30 thousand yuan, mainly used for the identification of the topic opening and closing. The funds required for sub-project research are generally

The sub-project undertaker * * * is the same as the scheme. The travel expenses, data fees and computer use fees of researchers shall be borne by the unit where they work, and the forum shall be solved in the form of "taking turns to do the work".

skill

(1) We should correctly understand the purpose of doing the project, and don't be greedy for the big. The smaller it is, the easier it is to produce results;

(2) You must be an action researcher, pay attention to the accumulation and thinking of the research process, and do a good job in collecting, sorting out, reflecting and summarizing information;

(3) Strengthen the study of educational research methods, especially some skills and technologies.
