Abstract:There’re six problems to conduct research in primary and secondary schools. Firstly, research in primary and secondary schools is just equal to conducting subject research; secondly, research in schools has nothing to do with their teaching; thirdly, contradictions and conflicts between research and teaching grow in breadth and in depth. Besides, better schools are assigned to conduct much research, while schools in rural areas get little. And to conduct research, schools are short of conditions for support, while institutions to support their research have negative impacts on research. Lastly, conducting research turn out to writing research reports. This paper tells schools’ opinions of research in primary and secondary schools from the answers of questionnaires. From analysis of these results, we find that causes of the six problems are rooted in the starting point of carrying out research in schools, and through combined influences of environment and research systems, these problems are stimulated to appear. In other words, there’re some problems in the aim and positioning of research in primary and secondary schools.
