清末到解放前的我国教育心理学学科性质演变史略

EVOLUTIONARY DEVEL0PMENT OF THE DISCIPLINARY NATURE OF CHINESE EDUCATI0NAL PSYCH0LOGY FROM THE END OF THE QING DYNASTY TO THE TIME BEFORE LIBERATI0N

本文首先论述从清末到20年代初,我国教育心理学最早等于普通心理学,继而为用普通心理学的知识解释一些有关教育问题的史实;编译出版日本的教育心理学著作,对“西学东渐”起到了桥梁作用。然后评论20年代后到解放前止,中国教育心理学属简单地应用心理学知识于教育上的纯应用科学史实;以E.L.桑代克为代表的美国教育心理学对我国教育心理学学科性质的发展,起到了岁月久长的深远影响。

The evolutionary development of the disciplinary nature of Chineseeducational psychology in the 38 years before China's liberation in 1949can be divided into two stages. Stage one began from the end of the QingDynasty (1911) to the early twenties. At this stage, there was only gener-al psychology and no educational psychology. Stage two began from theearly twenties to the year of liberation. During this period, educationalpsychology emerged simply as an applied science to explain educationalproblems.
