论杜威人文取向的科学教育立场——以《民主与教育》为中心

On Du Wei's Standpoint of Science Education with Humanity Orientation——Taking“Democracy and Education”as Its Core

从人文价值视角看,杜威认为科学教育的目的是实现自我的重构。学校要实现科学教育价值,需要用科学精神完成对学生的科学启蒙,使学生能够有效地运用科学方法改造自身的经验,促进人的成长。科学教育是自由的教育而不是功利的教育,实施科学教育应坚持人文原则、联系原则、非认知原则与探究原则。

From the perspective of humanity value, Du Wei held the view that the aim of education is to realize the self-reconstitution. To realize the value of science education, schools need to complete the scientific enlightenment for students by the use of scientific spirit to enable students to apply scientific ways effectively to the reconstruction of their experience and the promotion of their growth. Science education is the liberal education instead of the utilitarian education, so the implementation of science education should adhere to the principles of humanity, relation, non-cognition and exploration.
