回到“人”———世纪之交教育基本理论研究的共同主题

Return to"Human": The Common Theme of Basic Education Theory at the Turn of the Century

世纪之交的中国正处于深刻的社会变革和转型期。"科学发展观"成为社会发展的主导观念，"以人为本"成为社会发展的目标追求。作为时代精神体现的教育基本理论，世纪之交也将其研究的主题共同指向了"人"，表现在: 教育本质研究以人学为视野，教育目的指向真正的"人"，教育功能研究转向发展人的本体功能，"教育与人"关系研究回归人的本性，教育学性质研究凸显人文性，教育研究追求人文的范式。回到"人"，既是"以人为本"社会的要求，也是对教育本真的回归。我们有理由宣告，中国教育已开始进入了"人的教育"的新时代。

China is undergoing profound social transformation and transition at the turn of the century. The scientific development outlook has become the leading concept of social development and human － oriented strategy has become the pursuit of social development.The basic theories of education as the embodiment of the spirit of the times have pointed their subject of research to " human",manifested in: research on the essence of education lies in human science perspective; the objectives of education points to real " human" ; research on educational function has transferred to the ontological function of human development; research on the relationship of education and human beings has returned to the nature of human; the pedagogy nature study highlighted its humanities; the research of education pursues the paradigm of humanities and returns to human. It is the requirement of human-oriented society and also the return to the nature of education. Enough evidence shows that China has entered into a new era of " education of human".
