论20世纪上半叶"乡村教育"运动的基本特点

The Basic Features of "Countryside Education" in the first half of the 20^(th) Century

20世纪上半叶的"乡村教育"运动,不仅是中国现代教育史上活跃一时的一种重要的教育思潮,也是中国现代史上一次重要的社会改革运动。尽管这一思潮和运动已经过去六七十年了,但"乡村教育"各流派创始人所具有的深固的忧患意识,忠贞的爱国热忱,崇高的使命感和事业心,执著的探索精神却是显而易见的。"乡村教育"先驱们呕心沥血地用教育手段和方式所塑造的中华民族的现代知识分子形象和谱写的乡村教育发展史,至今仍在历史的文库中熠熠生辉,启人睿智,值得我们认真总结和研究。

The 'countryside education' movement in the first half of the 20th century was not only an important education wave but also an important social reform. Though it happened 60 or 70 years ago, the misery consciousness, patriotic enthusiasm, noble sense of mission and persistent exploration of the initiators of the movement are still alive in people's minds. These pioneers of modern education have written a brilliant page in the history of Chinese education and set a good example for us to follow.
