2011-2012年中国美育研究述评

A 2011- 2012 Report on Aesthetic Education Research in China

2011年和2012年是美育的声响在中国教育界、学术界日渐响亮的两年,从"著作""期刊论文""报纸论文""硕士博士学位论文""科研立项"等诸多方面都可以看出美育研究在这一时期的盛况。回顾两年的美育研究,较引人瞩目、较有特色的论题大致如下:(一)"以美育代宗教"等经典命题的再阐释;(二)跨文化视域下的美育理论与实践;(三)"大美育"观念下的美育研究;(四)美育研究中的传统资源与文化传承问题;(五)实证型美育研究;(六)美育研究总结与美育学科建设;(七)民国时期美育相关问题考证。在此期间美育研究取得了较大的进展,但存在的问题依然严重,主要表现在:(一)美育基本问题研究未受到应有的重视,原创性严重不足;(二)美育研究尚无清晰的研究方法,严重缺乏方法论自觉;(三)美育理论研究和实践研究均处于相对封闭局面,严重缺失国际化视野。以上任何一类问题,如在美育研究界能够获得重视和一定程度的解决,都有可能让中国又一次迎来美育研究的复兴和繁荣。

2011 and 2012 witnessed the thriving of ＂ aesthetic education＂ in Chinese educational and academic circles. Com- pared with the past, aesthetic education research has achieved great progress in areas like ＂ books＂ , ＂ papers in journals＂ , ＂ essays in newspapers＂ , ＂ MA and PhD dissertations＂ and ＂ research projects＂. Looking back on aesthetic education research of the last two years, we find topics of note and interest as follows： 1, re-interpretations of classical propositions such as substituting aesthetic education for religion; 2, aesthetic education theory and practice in the context of cross-cultural interac- tion ; 3, the concept of ＂ grand aesthetic education research＂ ; 4, traditional resources and cultural inheritance in aesthetic ed- ucation research; 5, positivist aesthetic education research; 6, summarizing aesthetic education research up till now and es- tablishing disciplines in aesthetic education research; 7, textual research of relevant issues in the period of the Republic of China. Despite the foregoing achievements, serious problems still remain： 1, basic issues in aesthetic education research have not been adequately addressed or creatively explored. 2, no discernible research methods have evolved, in other words, an awareness of methodology is still lacking. 3, theoretical and practical studies are both in a relatively closed situation, which deprives aesthetic education research of an international perspective. If any one of these problems receives adequate at- tention or even a partial solution, China will undoubtedly enjoy a revival and prosperity in its aesthetic education research.
