教育:为何与消费疏离

Why Has Happened the Estrangement between Education and Consumption

教育向人们传授有关消费的知识和技能,可以促进人的发展和经济社会的发展,帮助人们实现人生幸福。自工业文明以来,教育活动与生产活动日益关联,但却日趋疏离消费性知识和技能。其原因主要在于人们普遍认为消费从属于生产并受生产支配、工具理性倾向为教育的生产性提供了重要依据、通常的消费活动无须借助于专门的学校教育等诸多方面。扭转教育疏离消费的趋向亟须教育对消费的刺激力量的拉动,借助教育提升人们的消费层次和品质,依靠教育对消费观念和方式的矫正。

Education leads people to acquire knowledge and skill of consumption,which can promote the development of people and the development of society and economy,and help people achieve the happiness of life.With the increasingly close relevance between education and production since the industrial civilization,the estrangement between education and teaching knowledge as well as skills in the field of consumption is growing.Tracking the underlying cause,the main reasons are as the follows：people normally regard consumption as a part of production and consumption should be directed by production,the tendency of instrumentalism offers an important foundation for the productivity of education,the ordinary consumption is no need to turn to school education,etc.To reverse the tendency of education alienating from consumption,we should urgently initiate the promotion of education to consumption,enhance people＇s consumption level and quality by virtue of education,rectify the consumption concept and method dependent on education.
