杜威来湘讲学与湖南自修大学探赜

Dewey's Lectures in Hunan Province and Hunan Self-Study University

1920年,杜威应湘城教育会之邀来长沙讲学,其演讲的内容是以教育哲学、学生自治、学校与社会、教育本身等为重点,此次演讲对湖南省各界均产生了重要影响。而诞生于1921年的湖南自修大学所凸显的教育理念以及其中实施的教育制度无不彰显杜威讲学的"影子",湖南自修大学实现了杜威"多元"教育思想的"统一",进而形成自己的特色,对今天教育事业的发展有一定的启示意义。

In 1920, John Dewey made lectures in Changsha at the invitation of the Hunan Educational Association. The main contents of Dewey＇s lectures are philosophy of education, self-governance of students, school and society, and the education itself, etc. His lectures produced important influences on Hunan Province from all walks of life. The education ideas of Hunan Self-Study University, founded in 1921, and its implementation of the education systems revealed the ＂shadow＂ of Dewey＇s lectures. Hunan Self-study Uni- versity achieved the ＂unity＂ of Dewey＇s ＂diversity＂ ideas and formed its own characteristics, which shows enlightening significance for the development of today＇ s education.
