传统启蒙教育的道德观养成方法探析

Moral Edification Methods in Traditional Enlightenment Education

儿童心智的培养,部分依赖于书本的内容,部分依赖于所采用的教育方法。传统启蒙教育上溯周秦,下迄明清,塾师在教育童蒙方面积累了行之有效的方法,如榜样垂范、诱掖奖劝法、歌诗化育、环境熏陶等方法,这些方法合乎儿童心理和教学规律,对我们如今的道德教育活动仍将大有裨益。

The cultivation of children＇ s mind relies not so much on textbook offerings as on the pedagogical meth-ods adopted. Traditional Chinese enlightenment education dated back to Zhou and Qin dynasties and lasted till the Ming and Qing dynasties. A host of useful pedagogical methods and experiences had been accumulated by ancient Chinese teachers in their effort to instruct and enlighten young children. Such methods as teaching by modeling, teaching by guidance, support, encouragement and reward, teaching by poetry edification, teaching by exposing kids to uplifting influences from the outside, et cetera, which suit the mentality and psychological features of chil-dren and tally with pedagogical law, will be of great reference value to our present-day bid to morally educate and edify children
