“儿童中心”与中国教育文化变革之路

“Child-Centered” and the Transformation of Chinese Educational Culture

我国教育问题的核心在于远没有把学生的情感、需要与兴趣置于突出位置。儿童发展的特点有其生 物学基础，西方儿童中心论的提出具有其革命意义。虽然晚清后就不断有名士呼吁，但尊重儿童、重视儿童的儿童 中心论思想目前在我国还没有得到思想与实践层面的广泛认同。遵循儿童发展规律，将儿童中心论或儿童本位论 置于重要地位，是改进我国教育的重要前提。

The core of educational problems lies in that China’s education does not place students? e-motion，needs and interest in a prominent position. Characteristics of child development have its biological basis，and child-centered theory proposed in the West has revolutionary significance. Despite the continuing advocating by Chinese scholars after the late Qing Dynasty，the idea of respecting child and centering on child has not been widely accepted both theoretically and practically. Following the laws of child development ，and placing child-centered theory in an important position is an important prerequisite to improve China’s education.
