教育本质探讨思路的探讨

On the Exploration of Way of Educational Essence

教育本质问题是教育理论研究中的一个疑难症。这一疑难症无法根治的主要原因在于人们把教育本质的探讨分为“教育是什么”和“教育应该是什么”两个问题 ,这样就出现了两大类本质 :一类为真实存在的、客观的东西 ;另一类为应当存在的、带有规范性、价值性的、主观的东西。这两种观点都违背了唯物辩证法关于本质具有客观性的基本原理。教育本质探讨思路不是“教育是什么”和“教育应当是什么”的探讨 ,而是“教育在辩证理性上是什么”的探讨。这种探讨应遵循三个“一”:本质一类(客观的本质 )、方向一致 (先找到列宁讲的初级本质 )、思路一条 (从抽象到具体的辩证法 )。

The question of educational essence is a difficult problem,to which researchers regard educational essence equal as“what education is”and“what education should be”.Thus,there are two kinds of educational essence :one is really existent and objective essence,the other is valuable and subjective essence.This idea is contrary to basic principle of dialectical materialism.Therefore,the research of educational essence is not the research on“what education is”and“what education should be”,but the research on“what education is in dialectical thought”.This research should obey three points:objective essence,same direction and dialectical method from abstraction to concrete.
