摘要:: 为厘清中国农村教育国际学术话语现状、探索话语重塑的机遇与思路,我们对12个社会科学研究领域及学科里国际影响力最高的40种英语国际学术期刊在1978-2022年间发表的173篇中国农村教育相关论文进行内容分析。研究发现,农村教育是国际学界关注中国教育的重要切入点,但中国农村教育仍是国际学界中的边缘议题,我国本土农村教育研究者与实践者在国际学术生产体系中也高度边缘化。虽然2010年以来顶级英语国际学术期刊对中国农村教育的关注度显著提升,但该领域仍面临量化实证研究主导下的范式困境及西方经典社科理论主导下的理论困境。当前国际格局的变动及国内国际对农村发展的重视为中国农村教育国际学术话语重塑创造了前所未有的机遇,我国应通过各级科研基金大力支持农村教育研究并向有理论创新潜力的实证研究倾斜,鼓励高校及科研机构设立农村教育或农村发展主题的国际学术期刊,继续支持国际学术交流与合作。我国教育研究者与实践者也应注重文化自觉与理论自觉,力争基于中国农村教育发展经验与思想资源提出突破西方主流话语的新概念、新范畴、新表达。

Abstract:: In order to clarify the status quo of international research on Chinese rural education research and explore possible strategies for moving forward, we conducted systematic content analysis on 173 research articles published in 41 high-impact English-language international academic journals between 1978 and 2022. Though articles related to Chinese rural education make up a quarter of all articles on Chinese education published in these journals, they make up less than 0.5% of all articles published in these journals. Though this tiny field has grown substantially since 2010, there are two major problems constricting its healthy development: the dominance of positivism and quantitative methodologies, and the dominance of western classical social theories. Currently, changing international relations and the prominence of rural development issues present unprecedented opportunities for reshaping international research on Chinese rural education. In order to seize these opportunities, the Chinese state needs to invest in developing international academic journals as well as support qualitative and theoretical research on Chinese rural education. Researchers also need to develop cultural and theoretical reflexivity in order to break out of the current theoretical conundrum.
