从“生活即教育”看当代中国教育改革

Current Education Reform in China:Seen from the Concept of "Life Being Education"

陶行知的生活教育理论是一种教育改革的方法论。在实践杜威的"教育即生活"失败后,陶行知意识到,任何一种教育有其生活基础,教育改革并不是一种教育与另一种教育之间的对抗,而是一种生活向另一种生活的转型。要改变一种教育,其实就是要改变这种教育所赖下生存的生活基础。当代中国教育改革所面临的困难,根本上是因为应试教育有其生活基础,即以跳过现在的生活为目的的应试教育,其实质是应试的生活在左右教育。素质教育需要借鉴陶行知的"生活即教育",重建教育改革的方法论。

Tao Xingzhi＇s life education theory is a methodology for education reform. After the failure of practicing Dewey＇s ＂education life＂, Tao Xingzhi realized that any kind of education has its life foundation, and the education reform is not a resistance between one form of education and another, but a transformation from one life style to another. To reform one kind of education is actually to change its life foundation. The sticking point in education reform in contemporary China is that examination-oriented life determines examination-oriented education. Quality education requires the methodology reconstruction of education reform by following Tao Xingzhi＇s concept of ＂life being education＂.
