“教育即农业”的隐喻与社会建制

Metaphor of“Education Is Agriculture”and the Social Institution

教育的工业化操作带来了"拔苗助长"、"个性缺失"等诸多问题。吕叔湘把语文教学喻为农业,受此启发,"教育即农业"的隐喻具有重要的实践批判意义,它吁求教育对儿童成长自然节律的尊重,主张个性化、"春风化雨"式的基于真诚爱心的教育。"教育即农业"隐喻带来实践功效,需要形成全方位的社会建制,其中在普及思想共识的基础上,对基础教育实施"底线评估"是变革的基石,教师的有效专业化与基础教育物质基础的夯实是关键。

The industrialized operation of education has brought about such problems as ＂haste makes waste＂ and ＂personality is lacking＂. Inspired by the metaphor made by Lv Shuxiang who compared the teaching of Chinese language to agriculture, the metaphor of ＂Education is agriculture＂ has an important practical and critical meaning, which calls for education to show respect to the natural rhythm of children＇s growth, and advocates the individualized and life-giving education based on the sincere love. In order to have the metaphor of ＂Education is agriculture＂ achieve the practical effect, it is necessary to form the all-around social institution, among which the ＂bottom evaluation＂ in the basic education is the cornerstone of reform, and the effective teacher professionalization and the solid foundation of basic educational materials are the key of reform on the basis of popularizing the ideological consensus.
