Education Research Paradigm in the Era of Digitalization:Context,Dilemma,and Pathways
In the global era of educational digitalization,schools serve as central hubs for transmit-ting societal values and shaping future societies.Education research is tasked with leveraging digitali-zation to foster the modernization of education.The emergence of the digital age education research par-adigm is marked by ontological confusion,a shift toward integrated epistemology,axiological perplexi-ty,and a methodological transition from logical reasoning to algorithm-based approaches.This para-digm faces several challenges,including an imbalance in technological constructivism,the limitations of dataism epistemology,the overreach of technological axiology,and the dehumanization inherent in al-gorithmic methodologies.To address these challenges,it is proposed to enhance the ontological grounding of technology in education,develop an epistemology based on practical wisdom,cultivate a life-centered axiology,and transcend algorithmic methodologies.These measures aim to foster the de-velopment and application of a new paradigm in education research in the digital age,thereby promoting the effective resolution of educational issues and accelerating the achievement of educational moderniza-tion.
