Didactics of the Social Sciences and Methodology of the Educational Paradoxes Research

Original language description

The aim of the scientific study is to present one of the possible approaches to a methodologically sophisticated empirical research in didactics of social sciences on the example of a specific pedagogical survey with a subject-didactical impact. The didactics of social sciences as a scientific discipline uses scientific research methods to create not only scientific knowledge reflecting objective reality, but also to use the principls of our thinking to correctly explain and purposefully transform the given, objectively existing reality. In this context, the need for high-quality methodologically sophisticated empirical research appears as a prerequisite. The insufficient methodological sophistication of many surveys of academic institutions in the Czech Republic causes a major problem for the further development of didactics of social sciences. The current challenge for academic institutions developing the didactics of social sciences in the Czech Republic is to look for ways to improve and expand the themes of field-didactical research and to improve their methodological basis. Only high-quality research, which is sufficiently methodologically prepared, has a chance to compete with others and extend the knowledge of the realization of the educational process through social science subjects. We attempt to contribute to the discussion on possible approaches to empirical research in didactics of social sciences by describing the methodology of a specific survey of our study focused on examining the reflection of educational paradoxes by teachers of Civics. In addition to traditional areas such as the theoretical background of research, definition of the research problem, the formulation of research hypotheses and the definition of terms, we emphasize the choice of research methods and techniques, especially the Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA), including its Cohesive Hierarchical Implicative Classification (CHIC). In the conclusion of the study we explain why the use of Statistical Implicative Analysis (SIA) is perceived as an innovative work with high potential for future research projects in the field of interpreting research data of empirical research focused on social sciences.
