教育民主的理想——批判教育的民主理念评析

The Ideality of Educational Democracy——A Review on Democratic Theories of Critical Education

教育理论中的民主理念首先源自法兰克福学派的批判理论,其次则是来自美国20世纪关于教育民主的理论、信仰、原则和实践等领域。这些激进的理念与教育流行观点相悖,并明确地指向了对当前资本主义制度影响的批判。教育民主的理念试图把现代主义的解放观念与后现代主义的反抗观念结合在一起,因此,教育民主理想就是这些激进的教育学家们的理论实践和梦想。所谓批判教育学的文本理论、教学或学习理论等则具体阐释了这种教育民主理想的实践观念。

Democratic theories of education firstly originated from the critical theory of the Frankfurt School. And the next were from the fields of democratic idea, belief, principles and practice of education during the 20th century in the United States. These radical views were contrary to the popularity and focused on the criticism on capitalism institutions. Theories of educational democracy attempt to integrate the idea of emancipation from the modernism with the idea of resistance from the postrnodemism. So the ideality of educational democracy is the practice and ideal of the radical educationists. The theories of texts, teaching or learning etc. the so-called critical pedagogy illuminate the conception of practice of the ideality of educational democracy.
