乡村教育中的人、知识与社区——基于温德尔·贝瑞教育哲学的思考

People,Knowledge,and Community in Rural Education--Reflections on Wendell Berry’s Philosophy of Education

温德尔·贝瑞乡村教育哲学的核心是将社区视为人自我形成的根基,视为彻底改变学习方式的核心支柱,视为民主社会形成的底层逻辑,属于生态主义、存在主义的课程哲学。它是在反思工业主义教育割裂人与自然、人与社区、人与他人甚至人与自我之间联系的本质危害的基础上形成的。温德尔·贝瑞的哲学思想对反观我们当下的乡村教育实践及研究中的问题、发展生态乡村学校课程体系具有极大的启发意义。人与事即"课程的地方化"和"地方的课程化",是思考当下乡土课程、民间社会重建的两大重要维度。

The core of Wendell berry’s philosophy of rural education is to regard community as the foundation of people’s self-formation,the core pillar of radically changing the way of learning,the underlying logic of the formation of democratic society,and it is a curriculum philosophy of ecologism and existentialism.It is formed on the basis of reflecting on the essential harm of industrial education that separates man from nature,man from community,man from others and even man and himself.Wendell Berry’s philosophy is of great significance for us to review the problems in the practice and research of rural education and to develop the curriculum system of ecological rural schools.People and things,namely"localization of curriculum"and"localization of local curriculum",are two important dimensions of thinking about local curriculum and reconstruction of civil society.
