试析阿普尔批判教育思想的价值追求与理论局限

Michael W.Apple 's Thoughts of Critical Education:Value and Limitations

阿普尔的意识形态再生产理论阐明教育本质上是意识形态、伦理道德和政治问题,认为学校也有自主的文化动力,教师和学生会形成学校内部的反抗力量,成为反思性实践者,他们通过创造性活动经常反抗占支配地位的"合法化知识"。阿普尔还追求将教育的乌托邦变成主体解放、教育民主、社会公正的现实,这些对我国教育改革具有重要的启示意义,但他的批判教育学思想也存在泛意识形态、社会宿命论、去效率化的理论局限性。

Michael W. Apple＇s theory of ideology reproduction makes it clear that essentially education is something about ideology, morality and politics. The theory believes that schools have independent cultural motivity, teachers and students may become the resisting power and reflective practitioners in schools, and they often fight against the dominating ＂legalized knowledge＂; Apple also tries to turn the educational Utopia into a reality of liberated subjects, democratic education and a just society. All the above have something significant for the educational reform in our country, but Apple ＇s thoughts of critical pedagogy also have some limitations in his pan-ideology, society fatalism and de-fficiency.
