The Frugal Life and Why We Should Educate for It
John WHITE, ZHANG Shengxiang, JIN Shenghong
2022, (3): 5-13.
Abstract(269) PDF(32)
Abstract:
Sylvia's life narrative shows that frugality may arise from the will and habit of simple living, or from the quality of conscious virtue. Frugality as a virtue not only contributes intrinsically to people's well-being, but also helps the humankind as a whole to alleviate crises such as the depletion of the earth's resources. There are both intrinsic and extrinsic reasons for cultivating the virtue of frugality. Education in the virtue of frugality can be achieved through close cooperation between society, the family and the school. Frugality education in accordance with "the childhood goods" not only helps children to lead a rich, healthy, fulfilling and positive life, helps them to develop daily virtues of self-restraint and belief in life, and to develop a sound character, it also helps them to pursue social justice and eventually preserve the prosperity of the earth.
What Kind of Power Does Technology Have on the Development of Education:On the Development Principle of Technical Force in the Process of Educational Modernization
YU Qingchen
2022, (3): 14-20.
Abstract(325) PDF(29)
Abstract:
In the process of continuously promoting the comprehensive modernization of education, the issue of what influence technology has on the development of education has caused many debates and disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply explore the connotation of technology and the possible influence of technology on the development of education. Up to now, technology has been a concept with multiple connotations, which can be divided into two levels:core essence and peripheral influence. At present, the influence of technology with multiple connotations on educational development is manifested in three aspects:technology enriches and upgrades educational means, promotes and changes the action efficiency and life form of educational subjects, and influences and changes the way the educational world is organized. In the process of comprehensively promoting the modernization of education, the planning and application of technological forces in education should focus on promoting the all-round development of mankind in the world, not on defeating or replacing other forces, and pursue the organic combination with other forces. In addition, continuous introspection, feedback and correction are also very important.
How Educational Theories Grasp the Reality： On the Reality of Educational Theory Based on "Theses On Feuerbach"
AI Zi
2022, (3): 21-26.
Abstract(317) PDF(29)
Abstract:
Traditional pedagogy often sticks to the textbook system in understanding educational theory and practice, and intuitively ponders and understands the relationship between theory and practice. On the one hand, this kind of intuitive thinking regards educational practice as an intuitive representation of the concept of pedagogy, on the other hand, it regards educational theory as an intuitive reflection of educational reality, which leads to the inevitable difficulty in explaining the reality of educational theory. Marx criticized the intuitive thinking of the traditional materialism in his Theses On Feuerbach, and advocated the practical thinking through returning to history. Drawing on this thinking, only by focusing on the legal criticism of educational significance, paying attention to experience of educational practice, and adhering to the unity of history and practice can educational theory sort out the problem consciousness of facing reality and truly realize the mission and value of transforming educational reality.
An Introduction to the Comparison on Educational Thoughts of Marx and Dewey
ZHANG Jianguo
2022, (3): 27-33.
Abstract(239) PDF(24)
Abstract:
Since 1980s, the theme of education has received attention in the comparative study of Marx and Dewey. This attention is related to the increasing importance of Marxism in the field of education since the 1970s. However, most of studies uncritically accepts the "prejudice" of the Marxist educational scholarship on the periphery of education in Marx's thought, which not only makes the researchers underestimate the tension between Marx's social and political thought and Dewey's educational thought, but also leads to the ignorance of possible conflicts within their educational ideas. The key to overcoming the above-mentioned "prejudices" is to recognize the importance of education in Marx's thought, positioning Marx as an educator, and then clarifying the divergence and convergence between Marx and Dewey's educational thoughts. The comparison of their educational thoughts is of special significance to the study of Chinese educational theories.
Sartre on the Triple Implications of Human Existence and Education
WEI Enyuan
2022, (3): 34-41.
Abstract(357) PDF(24)
Abstract:
Man is the object of education. To understand the way of human existence is the prerequisite for human being to become human through education. From Sartre's phenomenological point of view, man's self-existence is the premise of education, the purpose of education is to awaken the self-awareness of human. Man's self-being is the point of view, the basis of the evaluation of educational value is to return to the human's living world. Man's free existence is the goal, and the principle of educational freedom is human's independent choice and responsibility for themselves. Sartre's reflections on the existence and education of human beings are instructive to reflect on the phenomenon of the alienation of human beings in the current educational practice.

LIU Lianghua
2022, (3): 72-80.
Abstract(1140) PDF(57)
Abstract:
The academic gestation period of Ye Lan's educational research methodology began in 1981. That year, Ye Lan got an opportunity to visit Yugoslavia for study. During her two-year visit to Yugoslavia (1980-1982), Ye Lan, by virtue of her academic sensitivity and academic spirituality, noticed the problem of promoting pedagogical theory by improving educational research methodology. She found the lever and fulcrum to pry educational research, and she let herself stand at the commanding height of education and educational research. The embryonic symbol of Ye Lan's educational research methodology is the Reflection on Strengthening the "Self-consciousness" of Educational Science published by Ye Lan in 1987.

ZHANG Weikun
2022, (3): 92-98.
Abstract(237) PDF(13)
Abstract:
The concept of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Teacher Education Discipline Community" is a historical reflection and practical need to aggregate high-quality resources of teacher education disciplines and cultivate outstanding teachers. The construction of a "teacher education subject community" is a subject demand of the universities, which can help integrate high-quality subject resources and help maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of the region. Geographical affinity and natural location advantages help to form the value resonance and cooperation consensus of universities in the three places and to provide a continuous internal drive for the achievement of discipline cooperation goals. To improve the disciplinary structure of teacher education in the Greater Bay Area and to build a community of teacher education disciplines, it is important to abandon the inertia and steadfast determination. A new "synergistic and symbiotic" relationship between the governments of the three regions, universities, educational intermediaries and the regional communities, as well as their rules of action, are needed to maintain and realize an integrated development concept and a symbiotic expression system, in order to contribute to the overall improvement of the competitiveness of the Bay Area teacher education disciplines.
