杜威教育哲学视阈中的“以儿童为本”及其实践意蕴

Children-centered education and the educational philosophy of John Dewey

杜威的教育哲学中蕴含着"以儿童为本",对我国受传统教育理念影响的"以儿童为本"具有澄清与匡正的指导作用。在杜威的教育哲学视阈中,"以儿童为本"意味着对儿童天性、童年未成熟状态以及儿童面向未来社会教育的正确认知。因此,在教育实践中,"以儿童为本"就是对儿童的天性予以尊重、对童年的未成熟状态予以接纳、对儿童面向未来社会共同生活的能力予以培养。

The advocacy of children-centered education is fundamental of Dewey’s educational philosophy,which serves as a guide in China.In the perspective of Dewey’s educational philosophy,children-centered education means the proper cognition of children’s naivety,and immature state and their future-oriented social education.Therefore,in educational practice,children-centered education is the respect and acceptance of children’s naivety and immature state and cultivation of their ability to live together with others in future.
