中国特殊教育质性研究方法应用的图景呈现与特征描述OACHSSCD

Under the contemporary proposition of constructing China's autonomous knowledge system in special edu-cation,this paper reviews qualitative research papers published in Chinese Journal of Special Education from 1994 to 2024,reflecting the landscape and characteristics of the qualitative research paradigm in China's special education stud-ies,and revealing the internal logic of knowledge production in China's special education.The development of qualitative research in Chinese special education can be divided into several stages:the embryonic stage,characterized by "pre-scien-tific" qualitative inquiry;the transitional stage,marked by a shift from traditional qualitative approaches to modern qualita-tive research;the growth stage,featuring the gradual standardization of qualitative methods;the maturation stage,where lo-cal theoretical reflection and applied research findings are equally emphasized;the intensification stage,showcasing prolif-ic outcomes following the implementation of national planning outlines;and the new era,driven by recent education poli-cies guiding knowledge production in special education.In terms of its application characteristics,the overall performance reveals varying degrees of normative issues in research design,sampling methods,data collection,data analysis,research validity and reliability,and ethical considerations.Regarding specific methods,case studies,discourse analysis,and action research account for 58.57%,23.80%,and 13.33%of the studies,respectively.Thematic distribution indicates that curriculum reform and school practices in special education,inclusive education policies and localization,and the develop-ment of special education teacher teams have emerged as core knowledge areas.While the quality of qualitative research papers in China's special education requires improvement,their localized evolutionary logic and practical reform experi-ences collectively indicate that this paradigm harbors strong theoretical explanatory power and practical vitality within the local educational ecosystem.The action paths of qualitative research methods based on big data and the post-qualitative research catalyzed by post-thought trends will ultimately provide increasingly rich nourishment for the improvement of tra-ditional qualitative research.
