Predicament and Transcendence of Comparative Education———Thoughts on the Comparative Education Research and Discipline's Crisis in China

当前我国比较教育学的困境是其"现实存在方式的困境"而不是"学科本身存在价值的危机",其核心表现在于服务国家战略需求的乏力以及自身理论体系建设的滞后,但并不意味着社会已经丧失了对比较教育的需求。我国比较教育研究要走出困境,实现自我超越,必须树立应有的"身份自信",牢记自身的时代使命,不断提高服务国家教育战略需求的能力并致力于自身理论体系的建设与完善,这是比较教育学科安身立命的基点与焕发蓬勃生机的内在源泉。

The so called "Predicament"of Comparative Education in Chinese academic circle is in fact the predicament of its actual form,rather than the crisis of its existence value. The embodiment of predicament is that Comparative Education is not a very rewarding investment in serving the demands of national strategy and the tardiness of its theoretical system development. But this doesn't nullify the demand on Comparative Education in society. The author suggests that only by reassuring the"confidence in identity",reminding the destined mission of the period,endeavoring to enhance its function in serving the demands of national education strategy,and improve its development of theoretical system, that can we seek the 'opportunity' and regain the 'vitality' of Comparative Education and finally solve the "predicament",which are both the foundation of its existence and the inner source of its vigor and vitality.
