20世纪美国教育史学的思考

Reflections on American Educational Historiography in the 20^(th) Century

由于教育史学的跨学科性质,它一直受到历史学和教育学的双重影响,并处于学术取向还是职业取向的两难境地。反思20世纪美国教育史学我们可以认识到,教育史学的发展不应脱离历史学"母"学科主流,同时也应保持自己的独立地位;传统教育史学和新教育史学各有其利弊,对于教育史的再认识是教育史学发展的基本形式。随着我国高等师范教育课程改革的深入,外国教育史学的未来发展可有两条并行不悖的路线:一是继续教科书传统,以满足师范教育的需求;二是摆脱学校教育史传统模式的束缚,加大学术研究的力度,提升教育史家的主体地位。

Due to its multidisciplinary approach,educational historiography has influenced by both the history and pedagogy, being in a dilemma between vocational orientation and academic orientation.Review of development of educational historiography in the 20th century mkes us realize that educational historiography is inseparatle from history science.Meanwhile,it should maintain its independence.Traditional educational historiography and new educational historiography both have their own advantages and disadvantages,so rethinking is a basic way to develop this subject. With development of the reform of curriculum in higher education,there are two routes in future progress of educational historiography for a long time:one is keep to the tradition of textbook,another is to shake off bondage of school model of educational historiography.The former may meet the requirements in normal education,while the latter may emphasize the importance of academic research.
