摘要

变革理论已日益成为 STEM 教育的一个学术领域。虽然这一领域历来是组织心理学、商业管理、传播学和高等教育的研究课题,但 STEM 教育研究人员越来越意识到需要使用正规理论来指导变革工作和研究。正式的变革理论包含了我们当前关于变革如何发生以及为何发生的基于研究的知识,因此可以指导有前途的干预措施的选择和设计。然而,学习和使用理论具有挑战性,因为我们中的许多人都没有接受过这方面的正规培训,而且相关的学术研究来自许多不同的学科。术语的不一致也造成了额外的障碍。因此,本文旨在通过明确区分正式的变革理论(从研究中产生)和变革理论(指导具体项目的逻辑),为 STEM 高等教育变革工作中的通用词汇做出贡献。我们还简要回顾了该领域使用正式变革理论的现状,并举例说明了变革理论在生物教育中的应用。最后,我们为希望在工作中更有意、更有效地使用变革理论的研究人员和变革推动者提供了实用指导。

Change as a Scientific Enterprise: Practical Suggestions about Using Change Theory.

Change theory has increasingly become an area of scholarship in STEM education. While this area has traditionally been a topic for organizational psychology, business management, communication studies, and higher education, STEM education researchers are increasingly aware of the need to use formal theories to guide change efforts and research. Formal change theory encompasses our current research-based knowledge about how and why change occurs, and therefore, can guide the selection and design of promising interventions. Yet learning about and using theory is challenging because many of us have no formal training in this area and relevant scholarship comes from many different disciplines. Inconsistent terminology creates an additional barrier. Thus, this essay aims to contribute to a common lexicon in STEM higher educational change efforts by clearly distinguishing between formalized change theory, which emerges from research, and a theory of change, which guides the logic of a specific project. We also briefly review the current state of the field regarding the use of formal change theory and provide examples of how change theory has been used in biology education. Lastly, we offer practical guidance for researchers and change agents who wish to more intentionally and effectively use change theory in their work.

期刊介绍: CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE), a free, online quarterly journal, is published by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB). The journal was launched in spring 2002 as Cell Biology Education—A Journal of Life Science Education. The ASCB changed the name of the journal in spring 2006 to better reflect the breadth of its readership and the scope of its submissions. LSE publishes peer-reviewed articles on life science education at the K–12, undergraduate, and graduate levels. The ASCB believes that learning in biology encompasses diverse fields, including math, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, and the interdisciplinary intersections of biology with these fields. Within biology, LSE focuses on how students are introduced to the study of life sciences, as well as approaches in cell biology, developmental biology, neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and proteomics.
