| 摘要 | 社會科學研究隨著近百年湧現的社會思潮，產生世界觀的重新反思。實證主義獨尊的情景不再，今日呈現的是多元典範並存之局，而這正促使著社會科學研究者有必要釐清不同典範之流變及其重要內涵。研究者唯有從根本的本體論、知識論與方法論的議題檢視起，方能合宜地運用方法進行社會現象的探究。本文以此為前提，首先分析社會科學研究的不同典範；其次介紹量化與質性研究之取徑（approach）；隨之探討研究者與被研究者在不同研究典範下所呈現的研究關係；最後則提出研究品質的評估規準。
Abstract:
In accordance emerging branches of social thought, the opinions of social scientists have been changing. Positivism is not the dominant force anymore. Multiple-paradigms are able to coexist in today’s world. This prompts social science researchers to understand the evolution and main concepts of different paradigms. Only after researchers investigate the fundamental issues of ontology, epistemology, and methodology, they can properly employ methods to explore social phenomenon. With this premise, this paper first illustrates different paradigms of social science research, then moves onto examine the approaches of quantitative and qualitative research and finally examines the relationships between researchers and research subjects. In conclusion, the criteria of research quality are analyzed. |
