教育本质的再探讨——基于三段教育案例的思考

Re-Discussion on the Nature of Education—Based on Three Education Cases

教育本质问题是研究教育现象、揭示教育规律过程中所要面临的首要问题,对教育本质的不同认识,决定了不同时期的教育体制、教育发展方向,影响不同时期的社会意识形态。随着发展,现行教育体制弊端逐渐显现,因此重新认识教育本质、转变教育观念是必要的,更是急需的。从三个教育案例探讨其背后的教育本质得出:教育本质的标准不是唯一的,是变化的历史唯物的;对人的本质的认识有助于理解教育本质;研究教育本质发展的量变轨迹意义重大;设置教育目的本身即含功利性。

The nature of education is a key issue in studying various education phenomena and discovering the laws and rules in the process of education. Understanding of the nature of education decides the system of development direction of education and influences mainstream ideology. In its development process,the current education system exhibits its weaknesses,and therefore it is essential and important to further recognize the nature of education,to upgrade education concepts. Based on three education cases,this paper establishes that： the standard of education is not monotonous but evolving and historically materialistic; the understanding of humanity facilitates the understanding of education＇s nature; the study of the quantitative track of development is important; the definition of education＇s purposes per se is utilitarian.
