教育硕士专业学位的历史渊源与目的定位

教育硕士与教育学硕士是两种不同性质的学位。本文通过对历史渊源的考察认为,中世纪大学的硕士或博士是“教师”的代名词,具有鲜明的职业(专业)特性。十八世纪德国大学范式首开学位的学术性质,影响深远,但由于走向极端而在20世纪初叶又重兴学位的专业性质,出现并存局面。我国虽然设置教育硕士专业学位较晚,但应该高起点,目标应该定位在教育家而非教育学家上,它需要我国研究生教育进行重心的转换。 

The Historical Origin and Aim Orientation of Professional Med Degrees

Med and Msed are different in character. In Medieval Ages, the master or doctor in universities is the synonym for teachers. In the 18th ceatury, the degrees were endowed with academic character and had a far\| reaching influence on academy in German Universities. In 20th century, because of the misleading to the academic character, the professional character of degrees is taken seriously again, which makes the academic and professional degrees coexist. based on this, the Med of Chinese professional degrees should aim at the training of educator, not educationist.
