The Application and Reflection of Oral History in Educational Research
As an important research method in humanities and social sciences,oral history has been paid much attention in educational research.Aiming to explore the research status of oral history in educational re-search,this study did a systematic literature review on education research using oral history as research method,based on articles published in the Social Science Citation Index(SSCI)database and the core journal database of CNKI between 2000 and 2022.It is found that oral history has been widely used in education research,main-ly focusing on two categories,school education and participants in school education.The former includes three themes,namely the implementation of educational policies in school situation,the history and culture of schools,and the curriculum and teaching method at school;the latter includes four themes of school leaders and elite teachers,ordinary teachers,students,parents and community members.Oral history as a method in educa-tional research has three different application paths:mutual evidence of historical materials,reconstruction of history,and creation of historical records.
