溯观:成人教育传播的沿革及其阶段性辨析

Research on the Historical Development of Spreading of Adult Education and the Analysis on Its Stages

溯观成人教育传播的历史,会发现一个有意思的现象,那就是其漫长的发展历史有明确的阶段性,而且这种阶段性与人类社会文明进步的阶段高度吻合。伴随人类从蒙昧时代迈向冲突的岁月,再到今天融合共处的时光,成人教育传播在不同的阶段呈现出鲜明的阶段特征。更为重要的是,伴随成人教育传播的历史进程,其价值维度由纯然追求作为工具的效益与功利,逐步走向以工具理性为基础的价值的永恒。

Making a comprehensive survey of the historical development of spreading of adult education, we have found out an in- teresting phenomenon that its long development has its clear stages and the stages have closely corresponded to the periods of civilization progress of human society. With the human development from the stage of barbarism to the years of conflicts and then to the harmonious coexistence, the spreading of adult education has its own stage characteristics at different phases, and more important, its value dimen- sions develop from the wealth and fame as the tool for pursuit to the eternal values which are based on reasoning as the tool.
