李鸿章教育思想体系研究

Study on Li Hongzhang’s Educational Thought System

作为洋务派的代表人物,李鸿章在与西方资本主义列强的博弈中认识到中国的科技、军事、教育水平与西方国家存在巨大的差距。为了实现国家富强、民族振兴,李鸿章在教育领域提出一些新主张并身体力行兴办新式教育,如创办新式学堂、培养新式人才、派遣学生出国留学等。在他的呼吁和奔走之下,中华大地上建立起来了第一所新式学堂。在他的推动和建议之下,清政府开始派遣幼童留美以及派遣学生留学欧洲。这对于变革我国封建传统教育思想,促进中国近代教育的发展都具有划时代的意义。本文通过对李鸿章教育思想的形成、人才培养思想、教育思想的实践以及李鸿章教育思想的历史作用和局限性的研究,旨在宏观和微观层面准确把握李鸿章的教育思想。

As a representative of the Westernization movement(of the late Qing Dynasty), Li Hongzhang has realized that there is a huge gap between China’s science, technology, military, education and those in other western countries in the competition. In order to achieve the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation, Li Hongzhang put forward some new approaches in the field of education and set up a new type of education, such as the establishment of a new school, the training of new talents, and sending students to study abroad. With his appeal activities, the first new school was established on the land of China. Under his promotion and suggestions, the Qing government began sending young children to the United States and sending students to study in Europe. This is of epoch-making significance for reforming our education in feudal society thought and promoting the development of modern Chinese education. Through the study of the formation of Li Hongzhang’s educational thought, the thought of training talents, the practice of educational thought and the historical role and limitations of Li Hongzhang’s educational thought, this paper aims to grasp Li Hongzhang’s educational thought accurately at the macro and micro level.
