On Research Methods Of Phenomenological Pedagogy And Its Application

There are two opposite trends in education: one is the theory becomes more and more abstract, the other is the practice becomes more operational and more technical. The theory and the practice update themselves according to different model of thinking and running, and the wide gap between them changes wider. It's the untiring pursue of educational researchers to find the way to integrate theory with practice. The phenomenological of pedagogy is a new field which theory comes from its practice, and the integration of theory with practice will come true if we have done more researches of phenomenological of pedagogy. That is why so important to research the theme of"research methods of phenomenological pedagogy and its implication".It's necessary to clarify some fundamental issues about the phenomenological pedagogy because there are different viewpoints on it. The phenomenological pedagogy is a unique field. Its uniqueness lies on not only its stressing on practicality, humanity, normality, and reflection, but also it's a kind of practical knowledge from the bottom-up. As a result, the issues of research methods of phenomenological pedagogy and its implication are important. It will make research on"research methods of phenomenological pedagogy and its implication"sense to find the importing foundation in China.It's the theoretical foundation of research methods of phenomenological pedagogy inquiring its philosophy and methodology. To phenomenological pedagogy, the phenomenology movement is fertilization of it, and some phenomenological method, suspending, reduction, intuition, description, reflection, interpretation and so on, are its methodology."Back to things themselves"is the fundamental rule of phenomenological pedagogy, which decides its paradigm. The phenomenological methods are the general principles of phenomenological pedagogy, which decide it beyond the induction and deduction, and decide it research lived experience in education. Investigating the research methods of phenomenological pedagogy is the key to its application. We sum up and illustrate research methods of phenomenological pedagogy by text analysis. Research methods of phenomenological pedagogy consist of depth interviewing, educational observing, anecdote editing, etymology tracing, to theme or meaning analyzing and text writing. There are differences between research methods of phenomenological pedagogy and the narrative research of education, and the differences also exist in research methods of phenomenological pedagogy and the ethnography of education.The method is alive in practice. We choose"the experience of learning-disgust in middle school"and to demonstrate the research steps, such as how to choose the title, how to collect, edit and analyze the stories, how to trace the etymology of disgust, how to seek the meaning of learning-disgust, and how to writing the essay.No method to be applicable everywhere and research methods of phenomenological pedagogy have its field and limits of application. After analyzing some researches of phenomenological pedagogy, I conclude that research methods of phenomenological pedagogy are valid in researches in space experience, time experience, subjectivity experience, and relation experience. It will have different field of application when we regard the research methods of phenomenological pedagogy as attitudes toward life.Research methods of phenomenological pedagogy are unique and additional perspective in education research. The new prospects will open up for us if we have done more researches of phenomenological pedagogy, which contain changing the model of thinking, integrating educational theory to practice, persisting in the reality of education. While the prospects are bright, the road has twists and turns.
