儿童哲学课程中的教师:角色与任务

Study on the Roles and Tasks of Teachers in Philosophy for Children Curriculum

马修李普曼创建的儿童哲学课程(philosophy for children即P4C)以"帮助构建更好人生"和"不以知识为最终目的"的指导思想,通过哲学的教育内容、教学材料和教学方式形成其独特的教学模式以实现培养儿童哲学思维的任务。独树一帜的课程模式给教师带来了新的角色形象,教师成为这场哲学教育实践中的共同探究者、促进沟通讨论者以及自我进步者。随着新的形象也给教师带来了新的挑战,要求儿童哲学教师需要不断提升自身的专业素养,进行持之以恒的教学实践练习。

Philosophy for Children (P4C), founded by Matthew Lipman, takes the guidance ideology of "helping to build a better life" and "not taking knowledge as the ultimate goal". P4C tries to accomplish the task of cultivating children's philosophical thinking by forming a unique teaching mode which is presented in philosophical education content, teaching materials and teaching methods. The unique curriculum model has brought new roles and images of teachers. Teachers have become common explorers in this philosophical education practice that promoting a better communication and discussion process and therefore having self-improvement. With the new challenges brought by the new image, teachers of P4C need to constantly improve their professional accomplishment and persevere in teaching practice.
