摘要
在 2023 年和 2024 年期间,我们一直担任《教育心理学评论》(Educational Psychology Review)的专题集《教育心理学理论发展的过去、现在和未来》(The Past, Present, and Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology)的共同客座编辑。在这本专题集里,我们邀请了该领域著名理论的作者反思他们是如何产生、发展和迭代自己的观点的,以及他们的理论的未来可能是怎样的。我们希望这些文章能够成为理论构建过程中的范例,成为理论从最初的观察到正式化的艰难迂回过程的常态化,并激励其他人开始自己的理论发展之旅。在这篇对专题文集的反思中,我们介绍了在整理文章过程中出现的主题,包括我们预料到的主题(例如,理论产生的多种不同方式)以及我们没有预料到的主题(例如,理论产生所需的胆识与智慧谦逊的结合)。此外,我们还研究了作者们用来评价其理论的认识论优点,如实用性,以及较少被提及的优点,如内部一致性。最后,我们确定了教育心理学理论发展的未来方向,包括改善该领域理论发展氛围的必要性,特别是在创建激励和奖励自然史工作的结构方面。
Bold, Humble, Collaborative, and Virtuous: The Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology
Throughout 2023 and 2024, we served as co-guest editors of a topical collection in Educational Psychology Review on The Past, Present, and Future of Theory Development in Educational Psychology. In this topical collection, authors of prominent theories in the field were invited to reflect upon how they generated, developed, and iterated their ideas, as well as what the future might hold for their theories. Our hope was these articles could serve as examples of how theory building happens, normalizations of the often difficult and circuitous paths theories can take from initial observations to formalizations, and inspirations to others to begin their own theory development journey. In this reflection on the topical collection, we present themes that emerged as we curated the articles, including themes we anticipated (e.g., the many different ways theories can be generated) as well as ones we did not (e.g., the mix of boldness and intellectual humility theory generation requires). Also, we examine the epistemic virtues our authors used to evaluate their theories, such as practicality, as well as the virtues that were less commonly mentioned, such as internal consistency. Finally, we identify future directions for theory development in educational psychology, including the need to improve the climate for theory development in the field, particularly in terms of creating structures that incentivize and reward natural history work.
