日记的教育价值——朱永新与剑桥大学社会人类学系艾伦•麦克法兰教授的对话

The Educational Value of Diaries:A Conversation with Alan Macfarlane,Professor of Social Anthropology Department of Cambridge University

作为人们日常生活的重要组成部分,日记不仅是教育生活的记录方式,它也在历史研究和文化塑造中扮演至关重要的角色,但是,有关日记在个人成长、家庭传承、历史研究等方面的教育价值还没有得到充分挖掘。本文通过朱永新与剑桥大学社会人类学系教授艾伦·麦克法兰进行的对话,重申了日记在作为教育生活的记录方式、作为历史人类学的研究方法、作为促进师生成长的行动路径等方面所具有的重要教育价值,并解释了撰写日记的主要原因以及介绍了周记、月记、书信等日记的其他补充形式,最后结合新教育实验共读共写共同生活的理念提出了共同体写作的日记写作形式。

As an important part of people’s daily life,diary is not only a way of recording educational life,but also plays a crucial role in historical research and culture shaping.But the educational value of diary in personal growth,family inheritance,historical research and other aspects has not been fully excavated.Through a dialogue with Alan Macfarlane,Professor of Social Anthropology Department of Cambridge University,this paper reiterates the important educational value of diary,which could be used as a way of recording the educational life,as a research method in historical anthropology,and as an action path to promote the growth of teachers and students.It also explains the main reasons for writing diary and the supplementary forms of diary such as weekly diary,monthly diary and letter,and puts forward the new style of diary writing named community writing,combined with the concept of common life of reading and writing in the New Education Initiative.
