从文化的视角看如何对待国外的教育理论

How to Treat Foreign Educational Theory from the Perspective of Culture

在当前的教育科学研究中,存在着两种比较明显的趋向:一是对国外的教育理论顶礼膜拜的"尊奉热",二是排斥国外教育理论的狭隘的本土主义。这两种思潮是文化进化主义和文化相对主义在教育领域的表现。立足于本土文化,对国外的教育理论进行扬弃式的吸收,创立具有中国特色的教育理论,应当是我们教育理论研究者们的理性选择和神圣使命。

At present, two noticeable trends exist in the research of educational sciences. One is the ＂respect craze＂ prostrating himself in worship to foreign educational theory. The other is narrow nativist rejecting foreign educational theory. The two currents of thought are display of cultural evolutionism and cultural relativism in educational field. Basing ourselves on native culture, assimilating foreign educational theory critically, creating our educational theory of Chinese characteristics should be rational choice and sacred mission for our educational theory researchers.
