Accepted date: 2023-05-31
Online published: 2024-02-22
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.
Key words: American educational historiography; three stages; revisionist; Cubberley; Bailyn; Cremin
