伯纳德·贝林与美国新教育史——兼论《教育与美国社会的形成》

Bernard Bailyn and the New History of American Education——A Review on Education in the Forming of American Society

伯纳德·贝林是20世纪中期美国新教育史社会文化转向的代表人物之一。他基于以具体历史情节本身的发展来揭示历史事件之间持续相互作用的综合性记叙史的核心史观以及(1)外显历史与内隐历史相结合、(2)历史空间关系中的中心与外围相结合、(3)人们内心世界与外部客观条件和历史事件相结合三种研究原则,在批判美国教育史研究范围狭小、辉格史观和时代错置的同时,在教育是文化代际传递的整体过程的概念基础上,提出了以家庭、社区和教会为中心的构想性教育史及其文化阐释,从而对教育史研究的深入发展产生了重要影响。

Bernard Bailyn is one of the representative figures during the social and cultural shift in the history of education in the mid-20th century U. S. Based on his core concept ？ a comprehensive narrative history ？ as well as three research principles, i.e. （1） combining explicit history and implicit his tory, （2） combining the center and the peripheral in historical spatial relationships, and （3） combining people＇s inner world, external objective conditions and historical events, he proposed that education should be the entire process of cultural transfers by generations and that research on the history of education should focus on cultural interpretation of changes in families, communities and churches. That has had an important impact on the development of the scholarship of educational history.
