借鉴与救赎:中国比较教育百年

Reference and Salvation-Chinese Comparative Education in about One Hundred Years

中国的比较教育有着漫长的过去,但只有短暂的历史。近代以来我国比较教育的发展在不同的历史时期面临着"救亡图存""开启民智"以及"改革开放"等不同的时代使命。新世纪以来,比较教育推动着新中国第八次课程改革的进程,这也是对新的历史时期所面临的新的教育问题的回应。但是我国比较教育对于西方的借鉴并不等同于全盘西化,我国当代教育本土意识的觉醒既源自对现代性问题的自觉反思,又源自对"西方中心"的文化绝对论的批判。作为对教育与文化当中的现代性问题的回应,我国的比较教育应当努力通过扎根传统,实现"现代性的救赎"。

Comparative education in China has a long past, but only a short history. Since the modern times, the development of comparative education in China has faced different education problems in different historical periods, such as ＂saving the nation from subjugation＂, ＂enlightening＂ and ＂reform and opening up＂. From the new century, comparative education has promoted the process of the eighth curriculum reform in China, which is a response to the new education problems in the new period. But the reference to the ＂West is not the same as Westernization. The local consciousness in the contemporary education in our country derives from conscious introspection for the problem of modernity, and also from the critic on the ＂Western center＂, and the culture of absolutism. As the response to the problem of modernity of education and culture, China＇s comparative education should strive to root deeply in traditions, and achieve ＂the salvation of modernity＂.
