工程伦理教育的实践转向

The practical turning of Engineering ethics education

工程伦理教育的实践转向有两层含义:其一,在工程伦理教育内容上,从关注工程伦理的合理性推理和对工程伦理规范的认知,转向对日常的工程实践的关注;其二,在工程伦理教学目的上,从伦理认知层面(文中所说的伦理认知均指对伦理合理性的认识,不包括事实认识)转向对伦理实践技能的培养。后者的实现恰恰是借助于工程伦理教育内容的工程实践转向。论文主要从工程伦理教育方法上来梳理这种转变,其中,案例分析法是这种转变的标志,而STS的方法则充分展示了工程伦理教育的实践性。

As to the practical turning of engineering ethics education, there are two meaning ： firstly, in the education content, the focus of en- gineering ethics education is on the everyday practice of engineering, rather than on moral reasoning of engineering ethics and the acquaintance of engineering ethics codes; secondly, the aim of engineering ethics teaching is to develop the skills of moral practice, rather than moral cogni- tion（ moral cognition in this paper all refers to the cognition of ethical rationality, not including the acknowledgement of related facts）. Moreo- ver, the achievement of the aim is due to the turning in the education content. This paper will clarify the turning mainly in the view of engineer- ing ethics education methods, among which the case study is the milestone of the turning, and the STS shows the ethical practicality of engi- neering ethics education fully.
