再论什么是教育史研究

Re─discussion on the Meaning of Education History Study

长期以来，教育史研究受”科学史学”的影响，以追求客观、实证的目标为已任，较少关注史学理论及方法论的新变化，更少关注后现代主义的观点和批判，导致了教育史学理论的弱化，鲜见关于教育史研究问题的争论。教育史研究是史学研究的重要组成部分。在新时期，教育史研究应当：一、加强与史学理论的结合，更新教育史研究理念，开展教育史学理论问题的讨论；二、克服单一的”叙述史研究”存在的问题，加强叙述史研究与”主题史研究”的结合，增强教育史研究的问题意识 ；三、重视教育改革中的”历史因素”，主重介入和参与现实的教育活动，发挥教育史研究的”历史”功用。

history study and the view and criticism of post─modernism， which has led to the weakening of the theory of educational history study and the scarceness of debate on the issues under study. The study of educational history is an important part of history study. In the new ear， the study of educational history should：first， strengthen the combination with theory of history study， update the concept of educational history study and initiate the discussion on the theoretical issues of educational history study；second， overcome the problems of single “narrative history”， strengthen the combination of narrative history study and theme history study and enhance the awareness of problem in educational history study；third， attach importance to the “historical factor” of the educational reform， take initiative to intervene and participate in the educational practices， and fulfill the “historical” function of educational history study.
