外国学前教育史研究70年:回顾、问题与前瞻

The Researches of the Foreign Preschool Educational History in China over the Past 70 Years:Retrospect,Problem and Prospect

新中国成立70年来,尤其是近40年来,关于外国学前教育史的研究取得了很大成绩,实现了“从无到有”的质的飞跃。同时,作为史学研究的组成部分,该领域在发展过程中存在教科书传统影响巨大、研究观趋于功利、研究深度不足、研究视野狭窄、缺乏系统反思、身份定位不清晰等问题。造成本领域尴尬局面的症结在于理论水平不足且没有找准学科定位。为实现外国学前教育史研究质的飞跃,今后可能的研究路径是从体系建构转向问题研究;借鉴相关学科的理论和方法,在人文社会科学的大视野中不断推陈出新;拓展研究领域。

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China,especially in the recent 40 years,the researches of the foreign preschool educational history have acquired great results and achieved a qualitative leap from nothing.At the same time,as part of the study of history,there are problems in the development of this field,such as the great influence of textbook tradition,the utilitarian research,the lack of research depth and vision,the lack of systematic reflection,and the unclear position of the field.The main problems are the limitation of theoretical level of the researchers and the unclear orientation of the researches.In order to make more substantial progress,future research work should shift from system construction to problem research;draw on the theories and methods of relevant disciplines and continue to innovate in the broad vision of humanities and social sciences and expand research fields.
