教与学:训诂原意考释

ADiscussion of Exegesis of Teaching and Learning

"教"与"学"始终是教育学以及教育哲学所探讨的核心话题。然而,相关专题或停留在空洞的文字演绎上,或仍流连于概念论的偏解。就中国文化来说,指规"教"与"学"之意,则当始自训诂而非西学的概念论模式。汉字的字义寓于它的形中,打开字形之所指即敞亮了"教"之原义。"学"亦如此。借助中国文化的训诂、文字、音韵学等,重释"教"与"学"的身体结构的原始关联,为浸身性教育范式开启新路径才是对教育学的最切要之贡献。

How to teach and how to learn have been the significant issues both for Pedagogy and educational philosophy. However, writings and discussions focus on conceptualism and turn out to be meaningful and empty. As far as Chinese culture is concerned, better understanding of teaching and learning should be dependent on the explanation of words instead of conceptualism from western culture. The original meanings of words reside in how those characters were primarily written. Such methods as an explanation of a character, morphology of characters and phonology should be used to open up the original meaningfulness of teaching and learning based on body philosophy, which may do a profound contribution to the development of pedagogy characterized by re-shaping the structure of the body.
