论教育民主的教育性

On the Educative Nature of Educational Democracy

教育民主不仅要具有民主性,而且要具有教育性。教育民主的教育性具体表现为对人的发展的信任、对人的热爱与对人的个性的尊重。而具有教育性的教育民主的达成则需培育教育信仰,重构教学观与知识观,守护每个人做人的尊严与良知。从一定意义上说,教育民主只有具有了教育性,才能还教育民主以真面目,才能使教育民主与政治民主良性互动、相互促进,更充分地发挥出教育民主对和谐社会建设的积极作用。

Educational democracy is both democratic and educative in nature,which manifests itself in the trust in human development,in the love of human beings,and in respect of human personality.Its educative character can be acquired through the cultivation of educational beliefs,the reconstruction of teaching and knowledge,and the guarding of the dignity and conscience of each person.In a certain sense,only when educational democracy is endowed the educative character can it be interactive and promotive with political democracy to play the positive role in building a harmonious society.
