教育科学:是否可能与何以可能——沃尔夫冈·布列钦卡教育科学思想解读

Educational Science:Could it be and why could it be——Interpretation on Wolfgang Brezinka’s Thoughts of Educational Science

沃尔夫冈·布列钦卡是德国当代著名的教育哲学家,其建构的经验教育科学体系思想丰富、造诣深厚。他认为,人们并不能从根本上排除教育学可以发展成为一门科学的可能,但传统教育学包含的科学因素太少。教育学要想发展成为科学,必须依靠经验教育科学研究,只有做出排除教育学中一直混合着具有道德或政治需求的科学陈述、意识形态教条和实践教育性教学方法的方法论后,人们才可能期望教育学朝向一种相对自主的经验教育科学的方向发展。

Wolfgang Brezinka is a famous contemporary educational philosopher in Germany, who constructed the teeming and versed system of empirical educational science. He argued that, the possibility that educational science develops into a branch of science couldn’t be ruled out, although the traditional educational science includes little scientific elements. To develop into a branch of science, educational science should be based on empirical educational scientific research. Only after the scientific statements mixes with the requirements of ethics or politics, ideological doctrine and methodology of practical educational teaching methods are excluded from educational science, could it be expected that the educational science develop in the direction of relatively independent empirical science.
