当前我国民族教育研究若干方法论倾向审思

A Reflection on the Methodological Tendencies in Ethnic Education Research in China

民族地区的教育有其独特性,这种独特性与教育的共性或者普遍性是辩证统一的,不能忽视,也不能过分强调。当前我国民族教育研究有过分强调这种特殊性的倾向,表现在文化单因素决定论、文化相对主义和地理环境决定论等方面。只有从政治、经济、文化等多层面分析问题,坚持主位立场与客位立场相结合,正确理解文化与地理环境的关系及其相对独立性,才能纠正当前民族教育研究中存在的不良倾向,保证我国民族教育的健康发展。

T he education in ethnic areas has its ow n special features , but this specificity is in dialectic relationship with the universality of education . Therefore , it should neither be neglected nor overemphasized . At present , the researches on the ethnic education in our country tend to overemphasized the specificity of ethnic education , with its manifestations in cultural determinism , cultural relativism , geographic environmental determinism , and so on . Only by making multi‐facet analysis of ethnic education w hich takes into consideration politics , economy and culture , combining etic and emic positions ,and correctly understanding the relationship between culture and the geographical environment and the relative independent nature of culture , can w e change the erroneous tendency in current studies on ethnic education , and guarantee its healthy development.
