Abstract

While there have been some in educational psychology who have taken up critical research practices, this paper urges more scholars in this field to utilize critical methodologies. We consider this reframing of our work by articulating the research paradigms that have been prevalent in educational psychology. We also shine light on the historical and contemporary problems in educational psychology research. We provide recommendations for critically examining the link between researcher positionality and research, exploring the roles of axiology, ontology, and epistemologies in positionality, and adopting critical frameworks to research.

期刊介绍： Contemporary Educational Psychology is a scholarly journal that publishes empirical research from various parts of the world. The research aims to substantially advance, extend, or re-envision the ongoing discourse in educational psychology research and practice. To be considered for publication, manuscripts must be well-grounded in a comprehensive theoretical and empirical framework. This framework should raise critical and timely questions that educational psychology currently faces. Additionally, the questions asked should be closely related to the chosen methodological approach, and the authors should provide actionable implications for education research and practice. The journal seeks to publish manuscripts that offer cutting-edge theoretical and methodological perspectives on critical and timely education questions. The journal is abstracted and indexed in various databases, including Contents Pages in Education, Australian Educational Index, Current Contents, EBSCOhost, Education Index, ERA, PsycINFO, Sociology of Education Abstracts, PubMed/Medline, BIOSIS Previews, and others.
