理想天穹下的那道彩虹——百年前兒童公育思潮的蔚然蒸騰

摘要： 在中國學(xué)前教育的思想史上,除了生活教育思潮和活教育思潮等閃光點之外,另一個值得注目的思潮,便是一百年前誕生的兒童公育思潮。兒童公育思潮受惠于啟蒙運動,其既探源于歷史,又援引各種新興學(xué)說,尤其受到了共產(chǎn)主義理想的鼓舞。盡管兒童公育思潮因為種種原因迅速消退,然而其思想的余瀾,不僅對家庭幼教和社會幼教產(chǎn)生了較為深刻的影響,而且也成為學(xué)校幼教定制和實施的無形推手。更為重要的是,"論爭"所表征的民主精神和"試驗"所表征的科學(xué)精神,仍將會成為推動教育思想創(chuàng)新的不竭動力。
In the history of preschool education in China,besides such shining thoughts as "life education" and "living education",the thought on public education for children born 100 years ago was noteworthy. Benefiting from the Enlightenment Movement,this thought explored history,absorbed various emerging theories,and was particularly inspired by the communist ideals. Later,it ebbed rapidly for various reasons,but it had a profound impact on preschool family education and social preschool education, and became an invisible impetus for the establishment and implementation of the preschool education system. More importantly,its democratic spirit represented by "arguments" and its scientific spirit represented by "experiments" continue to be an inexhaustible power to promote the innovation of educational thoughts.
