教育:一种跨越边界的公共领域——吉鲁批判教育思想论略

Education as a Border-crossing Public Space——Giroux on Critical Education

吉鲁是美国批判教育学的奠基人之一,其批判教育思想的形成与发展和美国新左派运动及各种批判思潮的兴起与发展有密切的关系。吉鲁的批判教育思想主要包括:教育的民主价值追求,认为教育应培养具有批判精神的公民;学校是一种民主的公共空间,应跨学科组织课程知识;教育者是一种转化性知识分子,应帮助学生批判性地观察社会,并在必要时改变社会,也就是使学生成为批判的思想者和行动者。作为当代全球资本主义批判的一股正义的力量,吉鲁的批判教育学值得深入研究和吸收。
