生活:道德教育的根本途径

Life: The Ultimate Resort Of Moral Education

倡导道德教育向生活世界回归、发挥生活的教育功能已成为理论界的一致识见,在品德课新课程标准中,生活教育也是一个重要理念。然而,综观目前的研究,作者认为,对生活这一范畴仍需必要的说明,同时,强调生活教育的重要性,并不仅仅是基于对脱离生活的道德教育或非生活化道德教育之弊端的深入反省,而更是基于道德、道德发展、道德教育与生活间内在的本体意义上的密切联系,基于生活教育较之其他教育方式所具有的独特性和基础性。本文试图通过对生活的解析,对生活与道德教育之内在联系的深入阐释和概括,以说明对道德教育而言,生活具有无可替代的和最为基本的方法论意义。

That moral education should go back to life and that the educational function of life should be exerted have been a consensus in the theoretical circles. Life education is an important notion in the new standard of moral education curriculum. But after making a comprehensive survey of the present researches, the paper thinks that it is necessary to probe into the category of life, and that life education should be emphasized not only due to the defects of the life-deviated or non-life moral education, but also because of the innate and ontological link among moral, moral development and moral education, and because of the unique and elementary standing of life education compared with other educational means as well. The purpose of this paper is to express the idea that life is the essential and irreplaceable measure for moral education through an analysis of the concept of life and a deep expounding and generalization of the inherent relations between life and moral education.
