摘要:

自杜威1919年来华宣讲其“儿童中心”教育思想始,关于“儿童中心”的研究已走过“第一个一百年”。在一个世纪的话语激荡中,“儿童中心”虽历经不同的中国命运,一些普遍的学术共识也得以确立,但仍有诸多历史问题亟待进一步澄解。“儿童中心”英文表达混乱,其词源学研究尚付阙如。基于不同论证进路给出的“中心”“起点”“重心”意蕴在丰富“儿童中心”理论内涵的同时也加大了认识分歧,“本能中心”“经验中心”“生活中心”的理论倾向进一步增加了其复杂性。将“儿童本位”简单等同于“儿童中心”的概念误植可能导致长期的认识错位。此外,随着研究的深化,杜威是否是“儿童中心论者”成为一桩撼动“杜威‘儿童中心’”研究前提性的学术悬案。求解杜威“儿童中心”研究的“中国问题”不只是一项阐释学课题,也要关注其“理实互构”的取径张力与辩证统一,努力打造反哺于世界杜威教育思想研究的“中国版本”。

Abstract:

Since Dewey came to China in 1919 to preach his educational thought of “Child-Centered”, his research has gone through “the first 100 years”. Some general academic consensus has also been established, but there are still many theoretical fog to be further uncovered. The English expression of “Child-Centered” is confused, and the etymological research on it is still lacking. The implication of “center”, “starting point” and “center of gravity” based on different argumentation approaches not only enriches the connotation of “child-centered” theory, but also widens the cognitive divergence. The theoretical tendencies of “Instinct Center”, “Experience Center” and “Life Center” have further increased their complexity. Misplacing the concept of “child-centered” as “child-oriented” may lead to a long-term cognitive dislocation. In addition, with the deepening of the research, whether Dewey is a child-centered theorist or not has become an academic unsolved case that shakes the premise of Dewey’s child-centered research. Solving the “China research’s problems” of Dewey’s “child-centered” is not only a subject of hermeneutics, but also the unity of approach tension and dialectic of “the construction of truth and reality”, as well as a way to create a “Chinese version” of Dewey’s educational thought research.

Key words: John Dewey, child-centered, child-oriented, China research, historical question
