在“传统”中“立新”——杜威教育论在中国高校的回响与借鉴

To“Innovate”amid“Tradition”——On the significance of Dewey’s educational theory to the higher education of China

杜威批判旧教育理论与思想,提倡教育是经验改造以及教育应当立足于社会发展与培养公民。杜威教育思想在我国历经了百余年的借鉴与学习,在理论与实践中对我国高校教育发展产生了深远影响。当今社会发展对高校教育提出新要求,因此我国高校对于杜威教育理论的借鉴与学习应更加深入挖掘其可借鉴之处,融合我国高校教育实践,实现杜威教育理论与我国教育实践的紧密结合。杜威教育理论在我国高校教育中的应用分为三步走,即学生、教师与理论,并以此为基础研究该理论在我国的进一步创新应用。基于此,我们可以形成在“传统”中“立新”的思想,深入研究杜威的实践精神与思维,分析其理论价值,建立以学生为中心、教师教学观念现代化、突破传统教学理念的教学模式,并且注重教育与道德的融合,以全新的角度结合现代社会,重新探索杜威教育理论在我国高校教学改革实践中的重要意义。

Dewey criticized the old educational theory and thought,and advocated that education should be based on social development and the cultivation of citizens.Dewey’s educational thought has been used for reference and study for more than one hundred years in China and has exerted a profound influence on the development of higher education.In order to realize the close integration of Dewey’s theory and the practice of higher education,study of Dewey’s education theory should be further explored and applied at present in three steps:namely students,teachers and the theory.Based on this,further innovative application of Dewey’s theory should be probed to form the thought of“innovation”amid“tradition”,establish innovative teaching modes with student orientation and modern teaching concepts,and focus on the integration of education,moral and the modern society so that the significance of Dewey’s educational theory will be researched in the teaching reform of higher education in China.
