课程、知识与认识论

Curriculum,Knowledge and Epistemology

知识不是所谓的科学认识论的奴婢,也不是征服世界与改造世界的力量,更不是使求知者自身异化的力量。课程作为学生的一种求知活动,学生的所求知识不仅是个对象范畴,更是一个过程与活动范畴,即求知活动的过程本身将成为学生重要的知识来源。当代知识在转型过程中日益呈现出不确定性、创生性、情景性的特征。然而,传统的认识论意义上的知识观只能使人们不断地扩张追逐与占有知识,从而占有他人的欲望;只能使人们对知识的崇拜欲膨胀,造成社会不平等的合法化,致使人与人的关系变得紧张起来。因此,这种知识观要予以解构。

Knowledge is neither the maidservant of so-called science epistemo l ogy and a power to conquer and reform the world,nor a power to make students th emselves alienated. The curriculum should be regarded as a kind of activity of s tudents' pursing knowledge. What students are pursing is not only an object cate gory,but also a process and activity category,namely,the process of pursing k nowledge itself will become the important source of students' knowledge. The con temporary knowledge is increasingly presenting lots of new characteristics such as indetermination,productivity and situation in its transforming process. Howe ver,the traditional knowledge view of epistemology could only make people const antly increase the desire for pursuing and occupying knowledge so as to occupy o thers,and help people raise their adoration for knowledge,resulting in the le galization of social inequality. At the same time,human's relationships will ge t more and more tense. So,this kind of knowledge view should be deconstructed.
