教师作为知识分子:内涵及其困境——批判教育学教师理念的批判

Teachers Are Intellectuals: Connotation and Predicament ——Critique of the Idea on Teachers in Critical Pedagogy

批判教育学将学校视为民主的公共领域,通过培养学生的批判意识,以此来构建民主社会。教师在这里作为知识分子而存在,然而,教师与知识分子之间的差异,以及作为知识分子所面临的现实困厄,却迫使这一观点亟需重新被考量。教师需要思考为谁而抗争,而批判教育学的政治化倾向可能削弱这一思考;两种角色的"跨界"则会造成教师的角色混乱;批判与建设之间理性的失衡会把这种"教育的理想"转化为"教育虚无主义"。教师何为?仍是一项未尽的思想任务。

Critical Pedagogy regards school as the public sphere of democracy , and argues to develop students’critical awareness so that a democratic society can be built . However , the difference between teachers and individuals , and the real predicament of being an intellectual force us to reconsider whether teachers should be viewed as intellectucls in society . As a teacher , one must think over who he is fighting for , but Critical Pedagogy’s inclination towards politicization may weaken teachers’thought about their self-identity . Acting on two roles simultaneously is likely to cause the confusion of teachers’ identity . The imbalance between critique and construction may turn this education ideal＆quot; into education nihilism＆quot; . Therefore , it needs further thinking on how to act as a teacher ？
