玩中学:游戏的教育价值回归

Learning by Playing:the Return of Educational Value of Games

教育与游戏如同人类进行自我复制的双螺旋结构,二者在生产力水平低下的群体社会早期是同宗同源的;随着生产力水平的提高,教育才逐渐从游戏活动中分化出来。工业革命以来的物化社会中,在工具理性的指导之下,追逐利益最大化和科学崇拜成为人类主要的价值追求,这导致了教育的游戏缺失和游戏的教育无涉。当前时代作为“自由社会”的萌芽时期,人们期冀游戏能在教育中发挥重要作用,“玩中学”理念从本体论、认识论及方法论角度阐释了游戏的教育价值回归。

Education and game are like the double helix structure of human self-reproduction.They are the same origin in the early stage of the low-productivity society.With the enhancement of productivity,education gradually diverges from the game activity.In the materialized society of the industrial revolution,under the guidance of instrumental rationality,the pursuit of profit maximization and scientific worship have become the main human value pursuit,which leads to the lack of educational games and the absence of games in education.As the embryonic period of“Free Society”,people expect that games can play an important role in education.The idea of“Playing by learning”can explain the educational value return of games from the angles of ontology,epistemology and methodology.
