摘要:

国内教育史学界对20世纪美国教育史学的关注与改革开放几乎同步,四十多年来形成了近乎统一的“传统派–温和修正派–激进修正派”的解释模式和分析框架,这种“三阶段论”虽有一定的学术价值,但长期固定不变的评价模式也造成了历史认知上的很多悖论和误解。通过重新挖掘和阐释关键史料,一个更加丰富多样的美国教育史研究的学术史视域得以呈现,既有的阐释框架中有很多被夸大、误读、忽视和低估的成分,通过“三阶段论”理解美国教育史学史存在很大的局限。不同的学派只是某种观点的概括,并不能代表学术研究的全景,一成不变的标签化和简单化的做法,对于客观而准确地认识学术史是不可取的。学术史的梳理与专题研究亦是相辅相成的,对美国教育史学史的再认识对推动国内的教育史研究有着重要的意义。

Abstract:

Since the reform and opening-up, researchers in China has started the study on the American educational historiography in the 20th century. In the past forty years, the researchers have divided the history of American educational historiography into three stages: traditionalist, conservative revisionist, and radical revisionist. This framework of interpretation was widely recognized by the scholarship community. It is of some value. But it also brings some paradox and misunderstanding. This paper explores and interprets the key documents, and then presents the parts which were exaggerated, misread, ignored and underestimated in the three stages theory. Different schools just generalizes different points of view, but they cannot represent the panorama of the academic research. The stereotyped tagging and simplification are not advisable to have an objective and accurate understanding of academic history. The analysis of academic history and topic study complement each other. Rethinking the history of American educational historiography is of great significance to the development of history of education research.
