米德符号互动论之教育蕴义

On Education Implication of Mead's Symbolic Interactionism

米德的符号互动论精辟地提出了心智、自我及社会通过符号互动而发展的观点。这一理论对教育不无启发意义。米德符号互动论之教育蕴义主要体现在:教育作为主体间互动的过程;教育作为促进学生自我形成和发展的力量;教育作为推动学生个体社会化的事业。当然,在将符号互动论应用于教育时必须考虑其局限性:符号互动论的自我单一化及过分强调符号的作用都会对教育产生某种程度的负面影响。

Mead＇s symbolic interactionism holds that the development of mental, self and community is through symbolic interaction. It is important significance for education. Its enlightenment to education is mainly reflected in the following aspects： education as a process of interaction between subject; education as power promoting self-formation and self-development of students; education as the cause of promoting individual socialization of students. Of course, when the symbolic interaction theory is applied to education, its limitations have to be taken into accountsuch as self-simplification of the theory and excessive emphasis on the role of symbols that may produce a certain extent of negative influence.
