跳出"原理说"怪圈确立启发式的方法地位

从孔子到毛泽东有关论述看，他们都是将启发式作为一种具体的教学方法而加以提倡的，但是当今《教育学》教科书大都认为它只是运用任何一种教学方法的指导思想或原理。“非方法说”不仅给教育学教学带来困惑，同时也不利于广大教师对启发式进行更直接更实质性的操作，阻碍了启发式在现代教学中的落实。应依据孔子和毛泽东的主张确立启发式的方法地位。

"A Teaching Method, not Merely a Principle"-Heuristic Theory

Heuristic theory has always appeared as a specific teaching method either in Confucius' explanation or Mao Zedong'sexposition. However, most of today's textbooks about pedagogy gives it the meaning of a guiding principle. Such a non-methoddefinition confused teachers and hindered the next step operation, a more direct and substantial one--the practicing of the theory.Therefore, the theory should be restored to its original status as a teaching method rather than a principle without any delay.
