French Institute of Education: Characteristics, Influential Figures, and Its Connections with the International Bureau of Education

本研究分析法國教育研究院的特色、重要學者Louis Legrand所扮演的關鍵角色，以及法國教育研究院與國際教育局之連結。本研究首先爬梳，從1879年的一間教育學博物館開始，教育研究院迄今的歷史沿革；而後本研究以如下焦點呈現教育研究院的相關特色：引領法國各國內與國際相關教育研究、結合教育相關實務工作者與行動者，共同進行具有反思性、革新性與實驗性的教育研究及政策改革，以及透過各種培訓管道，培養優質的教育工作者；接著更深入分析法國教育哲學家與教育改革家Legrand（其博士論文指導教授為著名的詮釋學大師Paul Ricoeur），他透過各項研究與實踐活動，為法國教育研究院帶來的重大影響；最後，本研究分析，法國教育研究院在歷史上的「國家教育學研究院」此一輝煌時期，與國際著名的教育機構──國際教育局之間，幾項重要的連結：歐陸新教育運動的啟迪、國家教育學研究院之國際事務連結、今日法國教育研究院出版的重要學術期刊，以及法國大學院校「教育科學」此一教育學系名稱，與國際教育局之間的關聯。

This study analyzed the characteristics of the Institut français de l’éducation (IFÉ; literally the “French Institute of Education”), the critical role of the prominent scholar Louis Legrand, and the institute’s connections with the International Bureau of Education (IBE). The analysis began by tracing the historical development of the IFÉ, from its founding in 1879 as le Musée pédagogique (the Educational Museum) to its current form as the IFÉ. Subsequently, the study outlined key accomplishments of the IFÉ, including its leadership in both domestic and international educational research; its collaboration with education practitioners and “actors” to engage in reflective, innovative, and experimental educational research and policy reform; and its role in cultivating high-quality educators through a range of training programs. The study then focused on the work of Louis Legrand — a French philosopher and educational reformer whose doctoral dissertation advisor was the renowned hermeneutic philosopher Paul Ricoeur — highlighting the enduring influence of his research and practical initiatives within the IFÉ. Finally, this study examined several major historical connections between the IFÉ — particularly during its distinguished era as the Institut pédagogique national (IPN, literally the “National Pedagogical Institute”) — and the IBE. These connections included the IBE’s influence on the New Education Movement in Europe; the International Affairs links; the major academic journals currently published by the IFÉ; and the IBE’s role in institutionalizing the term “les sciences de l’éducation (the science of education)” in the naming of education departments across French higher education.
