论公众教育观念及其心理建构

On the Concept of Public Education and its Psychological Construction

公众教育观念是一个观念群,它包含了社会大众对教育各方面的认识和看法,而且有不同的存在形态。由于教育观念既是制度、理论形态的,同时也是社会心理形态的,为了更好、更有效、更深入地研究教育观念,应着重从心理层面着手。文章试图从区别人们容易混淆的教育概念与教育观念开始,进而弄清教育观念的实质以及特点,并通过相关文献的归纳,总结现有的教育观念形态的一些有代表性的观点,最后介绍了构成教育观念结构物的几个要素:文化习染、知识影响、个人建构。
