Abstract

Openness is a foundational principle in science. Making the tools and products of scientific research openly accessible advances core aims and values of education researchers, such as the credibility, equity, impact, and efficiency of research. The digital revolution has expanded opportunities for providing greater access to research. In this article, we examine three open-science practices—open data and code, open materials, and open access—that education researchers can use to increase accessibility to the tools and products of research in the field. For each open-science practice, we discuss what the practice is and how it works, its primary benefits, some important limitations and challenges, and two thorny issues.

摘要

开放性是科学的基本原则。使科学研究的工具和产品可公开访问可提高教育研究人员的核心目标和价值观，例如研究的可信度、公平性、影响力和效率。数字革命扩大了提供更多研究机会的机会。在本文中，我们研究了三种开放科学实践——开放数据和代码、开放材料和开放获取——教育研究人员可以使用它们来增加对该领域研究工具和产品的可及性。对于每个开放科学实践，我们都会讨论什么是实践以及它是如何工作的、它的主要好处、一些重要的限制和挑战，以及两个棘手的问题。
