民族教育研究的纵深化:向历史学借鉴

Deepening Ethnic Minority Education Studies: Enlightenments from History

作为一门起步较晚、不尽成熟的交叉学科,民族教育学极其需要汲取其他学科的精华和营养。历史学经过百年的发展,已经形成了一套独特的理论与方法,可以为民族教育的研究提供借鉴。鉴于此,为了推动民族教育研究迈向纵深化发展,民族教育研究中应具有尊重历史事实的理论思维,恰当运用文献法和口述史,重视和加快民族教育本体论建构的步伐,拓宽民族教育史的研究领域。民族教育研究只有博采众长、集思广益,才能跟上民族教育实践的发展。

The ethnic minority education is a new and immature subject which needs to be feed with essence and nutrition from other subjects. History has been developed for a hundred years and shaped its own particular theory and methodology that could set a precedent for the ethnic minority education studies. This paper introduces the basic theory and method of history so as to ex- plore and rethink its enlightenments in terms of ethnic minority education studies. Some references can be adopted such as theoretical thinking of considering historical fact, constructing ontology, applying literature analysis and oral history method. Only if ethnic minority education studies learn from others readily and absorb all useful ideas, it can catch up with ethnic minority education practice.
