The History and Present Situation of History of Education Studies in Britain

在英国,教育史作为一个研究领域或学科已有一百多年的历史。1868年奎克(R.H.Quick)《教育改革家》一书的出版,被公认为英国教育史研究的开端。到19世纪90年代,教育史研究进入了第一个辉煌时期,教育史成为英国教师培训的重要内容。在20世纪60、70年代,教育史研究迎来了第二个辉煌期。然而,70年代中期开始的二十多年中,教育学院或教育系中的教育史研究进入持续的衰退之中,教育史在教师培训课程中的地位丧失殆尽。至世纪之交,英国教育史研究进入危机和希望并存的局面,少数教育学院中的教育史研究仍保持强劲势头。
