Features: The social transformation in China has presented new challenges and opportunities for education. Education must persist in research and innovation to keep pace with the times and fulfill its historical mission of "promoting national rejuvenation through science and education, with education taking the lead." Since the beginning of this century, with the implementation of new curricula and the continuous deepening of teacher professional development, concepts such as "research-driven schools," "research-oriented teachers," "research-based learning," "inquiry-based learning," "innovative education," and "educational innovation" have garnered unprecedented attention. Research innovation capabilities and methods have become the soul that guides education to keep pace with the times and the pursuit of teacher professional development under the new curriculum framework. As Sukhomlinsky said, "If you want teachers' work to bring them joy and prevent daily teaching from becoming a monotonous duty, you must guide every teacher onto the path of research, a path of happiness." For this reason, this book will focus on exploring the following theoretical and practical aspects: Research Innovation—The Soul of Enterprising Education, Building a Strong Platform for Research Innovation, Topic Selection for Educational Research, Designing Educational Research Plans, Qualitative Research and Quantitative Research in Educational Science, Action Research in Educational Science, Comparative Research in Educational Science, Survey Research in Educational Science, Experimental Research in Educational Science, Quantitative Research and Data Processing in Educational Science, and the Absorption and Expression of Research Innovation Achievements.
