教育工作者的話

以自身實務現場的需要為出發閱讀，從生命史故事中找尋對自己有力量的元素，不需理會太深奧的論述或分析，生命經驗中有共鳴與啟發的，轉換為能用於想探究或解決的教育問題，或促進的教育改變。

可常記錄自己的教學故事與經驗，作為自我教育生命故事的素材，邊紀錄邊整理，進行自我對話式的分析，可以供同儕參考與學習。

Words from an Educator

The life stories that resonate and inspire can be transformed into educational problems that can be explored or solved, or educational changes that can be promoted, without the need to understand too profound exposition or analysis.

You can always record your own teaching stories and experiences as material for your own educational life stories, and organize them while recording them for self-talk analysis, which can be used for peer reference and learning.

給教育研究者的話

當一個教育工作者思考教育研究的責任時，應當先確認當前臺灣教育研究的主要需求與問題何在，以此為出發，來尋求教育研究的價值與意義。否則極可能投入了無效與無意義的教育研究，成為游美惠（1997）曾指出，台灣充斥著「虛應文章或急就章的教育研究」，教育研究通常是「不知如何精進其與現實脫節的窘態」，本篇評析提出對生命史研究該怎麼進行，以及如何對教育研究有所貢獻提出了見解與建議。

A Message to Educational Researchers

When an educator considers the responsibility of educational research, he or she should first identify the main needs and problems of educational research in Taiwan, and use them as a starting point to seek the value and meaning of educational research. Otherwise, it is very likely that one will invest in ineffective and meaningless educational research, as Mei-Huei Yau (1997) pointed out that Taiwan is full of "educational research that is a mere article or a hasty exercise" and that educational research is usually "a dilemma that does not know how to improve its disconnection from reality.
