活动课程的“概念重建主义”理论探究

从本世纪初博比特(F.Bobbit)发表《课程》(“The Curriculum”,1918)、查特斯(W.Char-ters)发表《课程编制》(“Curriculum Construct-ion”,1923),直到本世纪中叶泰勒(R.Tyler)发表《课程与教学的基本原理》(“The Basic Principies of Curriculum and Instru ction”,1949),逐渐确立起课程研究的主导范式——“科学研究范式”(scientific research paradigm).该范式是受哲学中的实证主义(positivism)和自然科学方法论的影响而产生的.60年代末期以来,由于该范式的过分推崇而导致课程中的“技术理性”(technicalRationality)膨胀——重“效率”、重“目标”、重“控制”,最终导致了课程的“非人性化”(dehumanization).在此背景下,本世纪70年代以来,美国兴起了一股对“科学研究范式”进行激烈反思和重建的思潮,从而诞生了课程研究的“概念重建主义”理论 (Reconceptualism).“概念重建”(Reconcep-iualization)是“美国课程研究中的一种范式转换.它反对课程理念中的泰勒原理(Tyler
