论哲学之思与教师专业发展

On the Philosophic Meditation and Teachers' Professional Development

当我们从教育哲学的视角关注教师专业发展的时候,发现一个令人忧虑的事实,即教师们很少或不愿去思考一些看上去很遥远而实际上却迫切需要回答的根本性问题。哲学之思能够为教师提供有价值的视角,帮助教师获得一种洞察力,使教师更清晰地理解教育、理解学生、理解自己,也能更好地理解教育改革中的冲突与矛盾。教师只有致力于建构个人的教育哲学,系统地思考教育的根本问题,才能真正走上专业发展之路。

While paying attention to teachers＇ professional development in view of educational philosophy, we can see a worrying fact that teachers are reluctant to think about some fundamental questions which seem remote but need answer with great urgency. Philosophic meditation can offer teachers valuable view, help them gain a kind of insight, make them understand education, students and themselves more clearly, and understand the conflicts and contradictions better in educational reform. Only when teachers dedicate themselves to constructing the individual educational philosophy and systematically meditate on the educational fundamental issues, can they really take the road of professional development.
