在对话中寻求教育学与人类学的融合——基于1954年斯坦福会议

Seeking the Integration of Education and Anthropology through Discussion:Based on Stanford Conference in 1954

论文围绕教育学学者与人类学学者在斯坦福会议上的对话,通过对话来寻求两个学科的融合。一些教育学学者注意到教育理论与文化实践是相互依存的,人类学学者在研究不同社会与文化中积累了大量的田野资料,并认识到文化人类学的理论、概念和方法能够为教育理论和实践提供一个有效的参考框架,来共同研究教育领域出现的问题,寻求解决方法与答案。两个学科的学者都意识到学科融合的重要性,即:可以通过对话寻求两个领域在理论上的结合点;寻求将教育过程置于社会文化背景中的必要性;寻求教育与生命周期的关系;寻求跨文化的理解与学习;寻求将人类学作为教师教育基本学科的重要性。其融合途径对我国教育人类学的发展具有启示意义。

This paper focuses on the discussion between scholars of education and anthropology at Stanford Conference,and seeks the integration of the two disciplines through discussion.Some educational scholars have noticed that educational theory and cultural practice are interdependent.Anthropologists have accumulated a lot of field work data in the study of different societies and cultures,and realized that the theories,concepts and methods of cultural anthropology can provide an effective reference framework for educational theory and practice,also jointly study the problems in the field of education to seek solutions and answers.Scholars of both disciplines are aware of the importance of disciplinary integration,that is,they can seek the theoretical combination of the two fields through discussion;the necessity of putting the educational process in the social and cultural background;the relationship between education and life cycle;cross-cultural understanding and learning;the importance of making anthropology as a basic subject of teacher education.The way of integration is of great significance to the development of educational anthropology in China.
