东西方创造教育的比较与前瞻

Comparison and Forward-looking of Eastern and Western Creative Education

东西方创造教育的侧重点各有不同:前者兴起于教育领域,后者兴起于技术领域;前者重在"成己",注重创造者的创造性自觉,后者重在"成物",注重创造性成果的创制;前者以东方哲学为理论背景,后者以心理科学为背景。在现代社会功利至上思想影响下,西方式"成物"教育兴盛,东方式"成己"教育衰落,创造教育失衡。在汲取东西方创造教育各自优长的基础上,建设"东西方创造教育会通"的新模式,是我国教育创新发展的重要理论和实践问题。

Eastern and Western creative education have different emphases： Eastern creative education arose from educational fields while Western creative education arose from engineering fields.Eastern creative education emphasizes ＂shaping oneself＂ and concentrates on the creative consciousness of the creators;while Western creative education emphasizes ＂creating specific matters＂ and concentrates on the research of creative outcomes.In regard to their theoretical backgrounds,Eastern creative education was built on Oriental philosophy while Western creative education was built on psychological science.Influenced by modern society＇s utilitarian ideology,Western educational pattern of ＂creating specific matters＂ revives but Eastern educational pattern of ＂shaping oneself＂ declines,yielding imbalance of creative education.Based on Eastern and Western creative education＇s respective advantages,a new form of creative education should integrate Eastern and Western creative education,and this becomes an important field with respect to the theory and practice of China＇s creative education.
