流动性:理解现代家庭教育的新视角

Fluidity:A New Perspective for Understanding Modern Family Education

“流动性”是中国现代家庭和家庭教育的普遍特征,包含家庭生命周期和居所的变动、家庭亲子结构和夫妻结构的复杂与多元、家庭关系的变化与变形,以及家庭功能的流变等。一方面,家庭迎合社会经济文化结构的变化而处于流动状态。另一方面,家庭又成了社会变革及其风险的避风港。在分与合的双重作用力下,家庭呈现出“点—网”联合体特征,家变得轻盈而流动,但又不至于流失和流散。无论是观察和理解家庭教育的方式,还是治理和支持家庭教育的政策,都应该随着家庭的流动性特征而及时就位和发挥作用。

“Fluidity”is a common feature of modern families and family education in China.It encompasses the changes in the family's life cycle and its residence,the complexity and diversity of parent-child structure and spousal structure,the transformation and deformation of family relations,and the evolution of family functions.On the one hand,families adapt to the changes of social economic and cultural structure and are in a state of flux;on the other hand,families serve as safe havens against social changes and their associated risks.Under the dual force of separation and combination,families exhibit the characteristics of a“point-network”complex.The modern families are becoming light and mobile,but they do not dissipate or scatter.Not only the way of observing and understanding family education but also the policy of governing and supporting it should be in line with the fluidity of modern families and promptly come into play.
