论比较教育学的后殖民主义转向及其价值意蕴

On the Postcolonial Turn of Comparative Education and Its Value Implications

后殖民主义转向是国际上比较教育学最近几十年重要的研究与发展趋势。作为批判文化学的三大重要理论基础,新东方主义、“亚洲作为方法”与南方理论为比较教育学的后殖民主义转向提供了重要理论资源。它们从知识社会学的视野批判了目前“西方作为方法”的全球学术等级结构,促进了国际知识生产的“去西方化”和民主化。比较教育学的后殖民主义转向可丰富比较教育学多元的“参考体系”,打破全球化背景下“东方—西方”与“南方—北方”之间的知识等级秩序;讲好中国的教育改革与发展故事,向世界传播中国教育改革经验;丰富比较教育学的理论研究视角,促进学科研究范式的更新;加快构建以“亚洲作为方法”和以“中国作为方法”的比较教育学知识生产体系。

The post-colonial turn is an important research and development trend of international comparative education in recent decades.As the three important theoretical foundations of the critical cultural theory,new-Orientalism,Asia as method and the south theory provide the important theoretical resources for the post-coloniality of comparative education from the perspective of knowledge sociology.It has criticized the current global academic hierarchy featured by West as method and has promoted the de-westernization of democratization of international knowledge production.The post-colonial turn can enrich the diversified reference system of comparative education and break the knowledge hierarchy order between east and west,south and north under the background of globalization.Second,it can also enable us to tell well the story of Chinese education reform and development,and spread the Chinese education reform experience to the world.Third,it can enrich the theoretical perspective of comparative education and promote the academic paradigm renewal.Last,it might accelerate the knowledge production system of comparative education featured by Asia as method and China as method.
