陶行知劳动教育“二亲”原则及其当代价值

“Two-Affinity”Principle in Tao Xingzhi's Physical Labor Education and Its Contemporary Significance

陶行知劳动教育思想有着丰富的内涵,其中“二亲”原则在陶行知劳动教育思想中的重要性尤为凸显。“二亲”原则要求学校师生须“亲民”和“亲物”,“亲民”就是要与劳动人民亲近,“亲物”就是要与自然万物亲近。“二亲”原则的实施途径主要有在社会环境中学会“亲民”、在自然环境中认识“亲物”,以及“亲民”与“亲物”并重。“二亲”原则有增强对尊重劳动人民的真挚情感、整合多元化的劳动教育实践路径等当代价值。“二亲”原则体现在陶行知劳动教育思想中对劳动教育场所、对象、途径等的选择等方面,这为当前大中小学校开展劳动教育提供了重要的价值参考和借鉴。

The educational thoughts of Tao Xingzhi in labor education are rich in connotation,among which the“Two-Affinity”principle is quite prominent.This principle requires the affinities of teachers and students with both the laboring people and nature.They should acquire their affinity with the laboring people in social interactions and the affinity with nature in natural environment.These two sorts of affinity are equally significant.The contemporary value of the“Two-Affinity”principle lies in its role in enhancing the respect for the laboring people and integrating diversified practice in physical labor education.The principle offers implications to the implementation of physical labor education in all levels of schools.
