On the Practical Nature of Educational Doctoral Research Work
The practical nature of educational doctoral research has three connotations:focusing on practical problems,conducting action research and developing practice theories.The practical nature of the educational doctoral research contains its academic nature,and the academic nature of the educational doctoral research is rooted in its practical nature.The two are interdependent and complementary.To demonstrate the practical nature of the educational doctoral research,we need to think before we start to identify practical problems,we should study while we do research and practise action research,and we should define concepts and elucidate practice theories.
