中国教育学真正植入现代大学学科体系,成为一门被广泛接纳的学科,离不开留美归国生群体的卓越贡献,其中哥伦比亚大学的留学归国群体作用尤巨。他们实质性地促成了教育学领域的"现代学术转型"。由此开始,西方的教育学议题、方法(论),逐渐成为体制化的现代中国教育学术日益崛起的主导力量。通过邀约美国教育学名家、创办《新教育》、积极介入社会与教育改革、参与教育学分支学科建设,哥伦比亚大学留学归国群体极大地提升了教育学在民国学术共同体中的影响力,使其成为当时较好体现"学术现代性"的"显学"。

It is inseparable from the outstanding contributions of the returning students group in the United States.that Chinese pedagogy was truly embedded in the discipline system of modern universities and became a widely accepted discipline.Among them,the role of the returning group of Columbia University was particularly great.They had substantially contributed to the"modern academic transformation"in the field of pedagogy.From this beginning,Western pedagogy issues and methods began to gradually become the dominant force in the systematic rise of modern Chinese education academics.Through inviting famous American academic scholars,Columbia’s study abroad group had greatly enhanced the influence of pedagogy in the academic community of Republic of China by establishing New Education,actively intervening in social and educational reform,and participating in the construction of branches of pedagogy.It had formed prestigious discipline with well-embodied academic modernity in the course of modern academic transformation.
