民国时期社会学视野中的儿童问题研究——以燕京大学社会学系为中心的考察

A Study of Children’s Problems from the Sociological Perspective in the Period of the Republic of China: An Investigation Centered on the Department of Sociology of Yenching University

燕京大学社会学系自创办起就关注和研究儿童,不仅培养了大批儿童福利人才,为学校周边儿童提供了具体服务,而且通过社会服务实践和创新性的区位儿童福利个案研究,提出了"儿童身心发展是天赋权利""儿童问题的本质是儿童社会问题""改善儿童环境推动儿童福利"等观点。这些对近代中国向现代社会转型过程中儿童本位意识的建构和儿童教养制度的完善起到了重要作用,对当前解决儿童问题也有启发。

The Department of Sociology of Yenching University has been focusing on and doing research on children since it was established.It has not only trained a large number of child welfare talents and offered specific services for children around the university,but also put forward some new ideas through social service practice and innovative case study of regional child welfare,such as "children's physical and mental development is a natural right","the essence of children's problems is children's social problems" and "improving children's environment to promote children's welfare".These have played an important role in the construction of child-centered consciousness and the improvement of child upbringing system in the process of transformation from modern China to modern society,and also enlighten us to solve the current children's problems.
