Research Paradigms and the Tourism Curriculum
本文批判了旅游课程设计中的文献，识别并评估了三种研究范式（科学实证主义、解释主义和批判范式），指出科学实证主义方法因忽视意义和价值观而应用有限，强调课程设计应关注所有研究范式。
A critique of tourism curriculum proposals in the literature enables different methodological approaches to curriculum design to be identified and evaluated. Three methodological paradigms for researching into the curriculum emerge. These are the scientific positivist, the interpretive, and the critical. The analysis of this article points to differences between research paradigms, the implications of using each of them for curriculum design, and the limitations of scientific-positivist approaches. It finds that methods that are exclusively scientific-positivist may have only limited application because of their lack of attention to meaning and values and underlines the importance of approaching curriculum design mindful of the full range of research paradigms.
