论教育目的的预设与生成

On presumed and generated educational purposes

传统上,人们普遍认为教育目的应该在教育活动开展之前预设。实际上,教育目的除在教育活动开展前进行预设外,还可在教育活动开展过程中不断生成,两种处于不同位置的教育目的本质不同,各有生长空间,不存在非此即彼的两难抉择。就当下而言,必须厘定预设性教育目的合理性的限度,留出生成性教育目的存在的领地与空间。

Traditionally ,people usually suppose that educational purpose should be presumed before educational activities. The paper argures that in addition to the fact that educational purpose can be presumed before educational activities, it can be generated constantly throughout educational activities. These two educational purposes with different settings differ from each other in their nature and enjoy their own growth space, therefore no such a either-or choice exists. At present, we must define the boudary of the rationality of presumed educational purpose so as to leave space for generated educational purpose.
