教育改革的保守立场

保守是一种注重现实经验、反对不切实际的心理倾向和思维方式,区别于守旧和理想化。它怀疑一切完美方案,相信人的理性的有限性,强调在经验和积累中顺其自然、因势利导地渐进发展。教育改革中的保守立场反对片面强调体验性和个人化知识,反对简单否定知识的确定性和客观性,维护传统知识观与教学方式的适用性。对于学生自主,保守立场认为应该将其放在各教育价值中综合权衡,不应片面主张其在教育目标中的核心地位;学生自主应该受到教育权威与传统规范的限制,权威和传统是个人自主性形成的支撑性条件。

Conservatism in Education Reform

Conservatism is a kind of psychological tendency and mode of thinking that emphasizes realistic experience and opposes unrealistic ideas,which is different from fogyism and idealization.Meanwhile it doubts all of the perfect proposals,believes the finiteness of human rationality,and places emphasis on casual,encouraging and gradual development on the basis of experience and accumulation.Conservatism in education reform is opposed to putting undue emphasis on experience and personalized knowledge,and to easily denying the definiteness and objectivity of knowledge,while it maintains the applicability of traditional view of knowledge and teaching methods.As to the students＇ independence,conservatism holds the idea of comprehensively balancing it in all educational values,rather than only focusing on its core status in educational objectives.In addition,students＇ independence is subject to educational authority and traditional standards,and authority and tradition support the formation of students＇ independence.
