摘要:

研究旨在揭示国内外信息实践研究方法的应用问题,以期为未来的信息实践研究提供指导和激发对其研究方法问题的讨论。本研究将109 篇信息实践实证研究文献纳入分析范围,并基于研究目的、研究层次和研究假设等9 个维度进行编码分析。研究发现:第一,信息实践的研究类型以探索性研究为主。第二,信息实践的研究对象包括公民、专业人员和学生3 类,且信息弱势群体受到了重点关注。第三,信息实践研究的数据主题多集中于信息实践活动形式,而少有研究调查由信息实践引发的成效和结果。第四,信息实践研究注重数据收集时情境的真实性,对于社会情境的敏感性亦导致定性分析方法在该领域占据主导地位。在未来,研究者可融合更多元的研究方法来探索信息实践的概念、组成、发生机理。同时也可尝试利用纵向、动态的研究方法探索不同群体的长期信息实践情况,从而可以立足于更全面的视角解读人们的信息实践。

Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the application of methods in existing information practicesresearch in China and abroad, with a view to providing guidance and stimulating discussion of researchmethods for future information practices. 109 pieces of empirical research literature were included inthe analysis. The coding analysis was used through 9 dimensions, including research purpose, researchlevel and research hypothesis, etc. Four results can be outlined. First, the type of research on informationpractices is dominated by exploratory research. Second, three groups - citizens, professionals andstudents-are the subjects of research on information practices, and information disadvantaged groupshave received significant attention. Third, the data themes of information practices mostly focus on theinformation practice activities, while few studies investigate the effectiveness and results triggered byinformation practices. Fourth, information practices research focuses on the contextual reality whencollecting data, and the sensitivity to social context has led to the dominance of qualitative analysis in thisfield. In the future, more methods could be integrated to explore the concept, composition, and occurrencemechanism of information practice. Meanwhile, longitudinal and dynamic research methods couldalso be used to explore the long-term information practices of different groups and to interpret people’sinformation practices based on a more comprehensive perspective.
