浅析教育学之“科学病”

On the Scientism of Pedagogy

教育学的科学化已有百多年的历史,但它是否为一门科学,依然存在较大的争议。因为在唯科学思潮的影响下,人们往往将科学视为通往真理的唯一途径。教育学也只有进化成为科学理论,才能获得继续发展的空间。但是科学并不能与真理等量齐观,科学之外也存在通往真理的可能性。因此,教育学在探求真理的道路上,不能局限于经验的科学,还应以"人"为出发点,在这个更为广泛的领域内进行探索。

Divisions still exist over whether the century-old pedagogical scientism is of a discipline, as humans, influenced by the prevailing pseudoscience, consider science an only access to truth. Pedagogy can find its way forward merely through developing into pure scientific theory. However, chances are that truth exists outside science that is not always equal to truth. Pedagogy, therefore, can＇t be confined to experiential science, and it has to seek truth in a wider scope from the viewpoint of mankind.
