博物馆教育功能的社会心理学探析——基于蔡元培的博物馆教育思想

On the Educational Function of Museum in the Light of Social Psychology——Inspiration from Cai Yuanpei’s Idea of Museum Education

在蔡元培先生的教育思想中,有关博物馆教育的论述具有独到见解和超前认识,特别是他对博物馆社会教育功能和美育功能的研究和推行,对于现代博物馆的发展仍然具有重要的借鉴意义。在政治经济逐步全球化的今天,博物馆教育已经超越了科技传播的层面,在让国民分享人类智慧成果的同时,也肩负着继承和弘扬传统文化的历史使命。对个人而言,博物馆是学习知识、了解社会的重要渠道,它为人的继续社会化提供了一个理想的场所,促进了美好情感的构建和发展。基于蔡元培先生的博物馆教育思想,我们试图从社会心理学视角来探索现代博物馆的教育功能,并使之不断丰富和深化。

Mr.Cai Yuanpei’s （Tsai Yuan-Pei or Jolin Tsai） ideas of museum education are full of transcendent awareness in many aspects.In particular,his study and implementation of museum function in public and aesthetic education are still significant in regards to modern museum development.From the perspective of social psychology,we have systematically investigated into Cai Yuanpei’s ideas of museum education,and based on that we have analyzed how to protect and advocate our national traditional culture,promote people’s ever-growing socialization,reinforce cultivation of aesthetic emotion,and develop a deep level of educational content of museum feature.As a result,we hope to provide a better methodology for more advanced development of museum educational function,which in turn may facilitate our understanding about the social significance and educational function of a museum at a higher level.
