Abstract: Educational narrative research has gone through the stages of translation, criticism and reflection, improvement and perfection in China. During this period, the academic circle carried out in-depth discussions on its connotation, theoretical basis, types, characteristics and processes, and achieved fruitful results. At present, the research still faces the problems of insufficient methodological consciousness and normative construction, lack of academic transformation of in-depth description and meaning interpretation, homogenization and simplification of text presentation and operation paradigm. In the future, it will continue to advance in the direction of building a standardized research paradigm of human-machine collaboration, strengthening theoretical interpretation and academic system construction, expanding the subject and field of educational narrative research, and promoting the deepening of narrative action research.
