教育学到底是什么——论教育学学科的迷惘与纾困

What Is Pedagogy:On the Perplexity and Way of Relief of Pedagogy Discipline

教育学是一门“实”“柔”与“虚”逻辑自洽的学科,学科之“实”“柔”与“虚”使教育学呈现出“捉摸不定”的样态。教育学学科的“实”源于教育事业备受党和国家的高度重视,最终落实到现实个体的教育形塑与心智培育。教育学学科的“柔”主要凸显于教育学学科的人文情怀和文化观照,渗透于形塑“教育人”的完整图景。教育学学科的“虚”凸显于教育学学科潜在性的危机,学科内部存在多重弊病。教育学学科的发展过程中面临着学科地位的遮蔽、学科性质饱受质疑、学科边界模糊不定等方面的迷惘。有鉴于此,教育学学科发展的纾困之道需要从以下三个维度展开:秉持学科内在张力,坚守教育学学术自主性;凸显知识性质和学科意蕴,展露教育学价值取向和教育实践智慧;发挥学科依附性优势,实现教育学学科视界回归。

Pedagogy is a discipline in which the logic of solid,soft and virtual is consistent,demonstrating uncertain form.The solid derives from the attention of the Communist Party of China and the nation,finally implemented in the educational shaping and mental cultivation of realistic individuals.The soft is mainly highlighted in the humanistic feelings and cultural care of pedagogy and permeates the complete picture of“educating people”.The virtual is highlighted in the potential crisis of pedagogy and the multiple defects in it.The development of pedagogy is confronted with the perplexity of obscured disciplinary status,questioned disciplinary nature,and fuzzy and uncertain disciplinary boundary.In view of this,pedagogy discipline needs to uphold the internal tension of the discipline and adhere to the academic autonomy of pedagogy,highlight the nature of knowledge and disciplinary implication and reveal the value orientation of pedagogy and the wisdom of educational practice,and give full play to the advantage of disciplinary dependence and realize the return of pedagogy disciplinary horizon.
