ABSTRACT Across our combined 15 years of experience as methodologists and research methodology instructors, we have found that the concept of ‘failure’ is only a small portion of methodological literature and is similarly missing from scholarship on teaching and learning social science research methodology. We define failure in terms of our inability as researchers to reach the onto-epistemological ideals to which we aspire in our empirical fieldwork with others, both in terms of relationships formed with our research participants and our inability to overcome broader (institutional or socio-political) constraints. This reflexive position paper is an attempt to provide several tools that instructors of research methodology courses may use to teach students techniques for better understanding the causes of failure; to provide students opportunities for workshopping and discussing fieldwork in the moment; and to model transparency and openness in reporting failures as part of their writing and research dissemination. We draw on our own teaching experiences to provide examples of how to build structures that will support students as they prepare to deal with the failures that often occur in empirical inquiry. We then offer examples of what teaching about failure might look like within the frameworks of existing research methodology courses.

关于失败的思考:教学研究方法

摘要在我们作为方法论者和研究方法论老师的15年经验中,我们发现“失败”的概念只是方法论文献的一小部分,并且在教与学社会科学研究方法论方面的奖学金也同样缺失。根据与研究人员之间的关系以及我们无法克服更广泛的(制度上或社会政治上的)关系,我们将失败者定义为失败的原因是研究人员无法达到我们与他人进行实证研究时所追求的本体论上的理想)约束。这份反思性立场文件试图提供几种工具,研究方法论课程的讲师可以使用这些工具来教给学生一些技巧,以更好地了解失败的原因;立即为学生提供研讨会和讨论实地工作的机会;并在报告失败时进行透明化和公开化建模,作为其写作和研究传播的一部分。我们借鉴自己的教学经验,提供有关如何构建结构的示例,以在学生准备好应对经验性探究中经常出现的失败时提供支持。然后,我们提供一些示例,说明在现有研究方法论课程的框架内关于失败的教导可能是什么样的。我们借鉴自己的教学经验,提供有关如何构建结构的示例,以在学生准备好应对经验性探究中经常出现的失败时提供支持。然后,我们提供一些示例,说明在现有研究方法论课程的框架内关于失败的教导可能是什么样的。我们借鉴自己的教学经验,提供有关如何构建结构的示例,以在学生准备好应对经验性探究中经常出现的失败时提供支持。然后,我们提供一些示例,说明在现有研究方法论课程的框架内关于失败的教导可能是什么样的。
