关于学前教育学历史使命的思考

Reflection on the Mission of Preschool Education

学前教育学使命与学前教育学的学科性质以及学前教育学学者的使命之间,有着不可分割的关系。学前教育学是一门基础理论学科,这种学科性质决定了学前教育学的主流使命应当是理论研究。从这一立场出发,本文对"政治型学者"和"技术型学者"的价值观和使命观提出了质疑,并期待"理论型学者"能够担当起学前教育学的主流使命。虽然,目前学前教育学主要承担着三重使命,但是,学前教育学历史使命的本质是不会改变的,即推动学前教育研究走向科学化。

The mission of preschool education is closely related with its subject character and the mission of a scholar in preschool education.The nature of a basic subject determines that its main mission should be theoretic research.In view of this the author challenges the mission value of politics-type and technique-type scholars and expects theory-type scholars to undertake the main mission of preschool education.In spite of the triple mission preschool education undertakes,the fundamental one will remains the same,i.e.,to promote preschool education towards a science.
