儿童中心学校的兴起与美国教育变革

The Rise of Child-Centered Schools and the Reform of American Education

通过比较19世纪90年代至20世纪20年代在美国相继出现的各种新学校的异同,质疑杜威等美国学者对新学校共同特性的分析,认为新学校的基本原则在于以儿童为中心、以促进儿童发展为目的,儿童中心论是新学校的共同价值基础。儿童中心学校对20世纪美国教育的发展方向产生了不可替代的重要影响。

By comparing the similarities and differences among various new schools in America arising during the time period from the 1890s to the 1920s, we questioned the analysis of the common characteristics of the new schools by Dewey and other American scholars. We believe that the basic principle of the new schools is that they are child-centered and aimed at promoting children＇s development, and child-centered theory is the foundation of common value of new schools. The child-centered schools had an irreplaceable and important influence on the direction of the development of American education in the 20th century.
