发布时间：2018-12-17 07:07

【摘要】：促进教育的民主化被看做是现代教育变革的一项重要任务。教育民主化包涵着非常丰富的内容,既包括教育机会的扩大和均等,也包括教育组织、活动和关系本身的民主化。在教育民主化理念的支配下,民主成为适用于并支配学校事务的一项基本价值原则。然而,人们仔细审视民主概念在教育场域中的应用情况,也发现存在不少值得严肃讨论的具体问题。这些具体问题指向一个更为基本的问题:学校是一个可以"被民主化"的场所吗?本文提出,由于学校组织的教育性特征,诞生于政治领域中的民主原则并不能完全无条件地适用于教育场域;在教育事务的处理上,民主原则的应用应该考虑与教育性原则以及传统、权威、道德、自主性等诸多影响因素相协调,从而建构更为良好的教育关系或教育秩序,防止现代社会以一种单一的民主逻辑来改造学校,防止现代教育陷入"民主的迷思"。这可以看做是对我国教育学界一直以来所倡导的教育民主化理论的一个补充或修正。
[Abstract]:Promoting the democratization of education is regarded as an important task of modern education reform. The democratization of education includes not only the expansion and equality of educational opportunities, but also the democratization of educational organizations, activities and relationships. Under the control of the idea of democratization of education, democracy has become a basic value principle that applies to and governs school affairs. However, people carefully examine the application of the concept of democracy in the field of education, and find that there are many concrete problems worthy of serious discussion. These specific questions point to a more fundamental question: is school a place to be "democratized"? This paper points out that because of the educational characteristics of the school organization, the democratic principle born in the political field can not be applied to the educational field completely and unconditionally. In the handling of educational affairs, the application of democratic principles should be coordinated with educational principles, tradition, authority, morality, autonomy and so on, so as to construct a better educational relationship or order. To prevent modern society from transforming schools with a single democratic logic, and to prevent modern education from falling into the "myth of democracy". This can be seen as a supplement or amendment to the theory of democratization of education advocated by Chinese educational circles.
