洛克的《教育漫话》对幼儿教育实践的启示

John Locke's“Some thoughts concerning education”and Its Practical Enlightenment on Preschool Children Education

洛克在《教育漫话》中集中表达了他的教育观点:重视教育对人的作用,主张对儿童进行体、德、智等全面的教育。洛克强调,要给儿童以原则性的指导,使他们在生活上养成良好的习惯;应尽可能地给孩子提供良好的教育及家庭教育环境,尽早对儿童进行德育,在实践中培养儿童的品德;学问的内容必须是实际而有用的广泛知识,注重知识的实用性。《教育漫话》中这些观点对当前我国幼儿教育仍然具有启发和指导作用。

Some Thoughts Concerning Education written by John Locke expresses his views on Educa- tion： attaching importance to the role of education to the people, advocating body, morality, wisdom and other comprehensive education for children. Locke stressed that children should be given the principle guiding to enable them to develop good habits in their daily life and that children should be offered a better education and family surroundings as well as moral education in practice. In addition, Locke also believed that the knowledge for studying must be practical and useful in a wide range of knowledge, focusing on practical knowledge. The points of view in ＂Some thoughts concerning education＂ still inspire and guide our early childhood education.
