The Logic of the Evolution of Early Modern Western Education

近代早期是西方社会由中世纪向近代转型的重要阶段,也是西方历史大变革、大发展时期。处于这一历史进程中的教育,也在不断地发展和丰富自己,成为西方社会不断走向文明的有力推动者。近代早期,西方教育受到文艺复兴和宗教改革两大运动的深刻影响,出现了古典学术的复兴和新旧教派的教育竞争;而且大学的发展令人瞩目,它突破了原来的规模和水平,在教学内容、学科设置、入学人数等方面都取得了重大进展。这一时期,近代自然科学的兴起对教育理论和实践产生了重要影响,促进了文化教育的世俗化;与此同时,北美殖民地也出现了文化教育的复苏。近代早期西方教育既是一个统一的整体,又具有多样性,其演变遵循着渐进性的原则。

The early period of the modern times was an important stage in the transformation of western society from the Middle Ages to the modern times,and it was also a period of great changes and development in western history.Education in this historical process had been constantly developing and enriching itself,becoming a powerful promoter of western civilization.In the early modern times,western education was deeply influenced by the Renaissance and the Religious Reform,with the appearance of the revival of classical learning,and the educational competition between old and new religious sects.The development of universities in this period was remarkable as it broke through the original scale and level,and great progress had been made in teaching content,subject setting and number of enrollment.In this period,the rise of modern natural science exerted important influence on educational theory and practice,promoting the secularization of culture and education;meanwhile,there was a revival of culture and education in the North American colonies.In conclusion,early modern western education was a unified whole with diversity,with its evolution following the principle of progression.
