ABSTRACT

The complex and ever-changing nature of the field of educational development has led to a scholarship of educational development (SoED) that is rich but also enigmatic. The authors outline four lenses through which SoED might be viewed, ultimately proposing a framework for SoED that empowers scholars to engage in a sophisticated negotiation between, among, and across disciplines, perspectives, and contexts so the field benefits from all approaches. We argue that by cultivating a dexterous SoED, educational developers can leverage a more inclusive scholarly community to explore more meaningful questions and advance SoED as a field of study.

摘要

教育发展领域的复杂性和不断变化的性质导致了教育发展（SoED）的丰富而神秘的学术。作者概述了可以查看 SoED 的四个镜头，最终为 SoED 提出了一个框架，使学者能够在学科、观点和背景之间和跨学科、观点和背景之间进行复杂的谈判，从而使该领域从所有方法中受益。我们认为，通过培养灵巧的 SoED，教育开发人员可以利用更具包容性的学术社区来探索更有意义的问题，并将 SoED 作为研究领域推进。
