农村教育定位:实践与反思

On the Orientation of Rural Education

学术界对农村教育的定位存在着分歧。一种观点认为农村教育要致力于普世性文化知识的传授,城乡基础教育并无不同之处。另一种观点则认为农村教育要贴近农村生活并教给农村学生合适的劳动技能。只有对农村教育进行扎实的田野调查,才能够超越这两种分歧和争论,而要改革农村教育定位以促进农村教育的更好发展,就需要改革我国当前的教育评价体制。

Argument exists in the academic circles about the orientation of rural education. Some scholars hold the opinion that the rural education, just like the urban education, should aim at the general knowl edge. Other scholars argue that the rural education should pay attention to the local knowledge about the rural life. To achieve the right orientation of rural education, we should carry out careful field investigation and reform the educational evaluation system.
