杜威“教育无目的论”的思考及启示——基于学前教育角度的审视

Reflection and Enlightenment of Dewey's Theory of "No Purpose of Education" : Based on the Perspective of Preschool Education

杜威的教育哲学一直是肯定与争议并存的,尤其是他的"教育无目的论",受到很多专家学者的质疑。杜威认为教育是无目的的,教育的目的即是其本身。实际上,杜威的"教育无目的论"并非绝对的,尊重儿童、以儿童为本,因此,杜威的教育理论对当今学前教育仍具有重要意义。反观当今学前教育,仍存在很多问题,通过对存在问题的思考,有助于进一步理解杜威的思想,并发掘其"教育无目的论"的有益启示。

Dewey＇s philosophy of education has always coexistedwith controversy, especially his theory of ＂no purpose of educa-tion＂, which is questioned by many experts and scholars. Deweybelieves that education is for no purpose, and the purpose of edu-cation is itself. In fact, Dewey＇s theory of ＂no purpose of educa-tion＂ is not absolute. Instead, it respects children and takes chil-dren as its orientation, so Dewey＇s education theory is still impor-tant for today＇s preschool education. In view of today＇s preschooleducation, there are still many problems. Through the thinking ofthe problems, we can further understand Dewey＇s ideas and ex-plore the useful inspiration of his theory of ＂no purpose of educa-tion＂.
