义和团运动前后的教会学校

义和团运动之前,教会学校在中国已有一定的规模,但也存在一些问题,如缺乏系统的办学计划,教会学校之间的合作存在很大的困难,以及因受清政府的排斥而居边缘化地位。义和团运动以后,清政府的教育变革改善了教会学校的外部环境,教会学校则借助各种条件拓展自己的空间,充实教学内容,并加快了各校联合的步伐,以实现教育资源的优化组合。从"李提摩太与山西大学堂"、"雅礼学会的成立"及"中国教会大学的联合运动"三个案例中,可以看出义和团运动与教会学校的发展虽无直接的因果关系,但确有间接的联系。

The missionary school before and after the Yihetuan movement

Before the Yihetuan Movement, missionary schools had reached certain scale and be-came another educational system independent from imperial examination system in Qing Dy-nasty. However, some problem existed in missionary schools, such as deficient of systematic educational plans, there was difficulties in cooperation for schxils set up by different groups, as well as the schxils only played periphery role due to the rejection of the government. After the Yihetuart ntoventent, the educational reformation done by government improved the ex-ternal circumstance for missionary schools. The schools, using every kind of favorable condi-tions, developed their own space, replenished teaching contents and speeded the steps of u-niting schools together to fulfill optimization grouping of resources. The following cases-"Litintotai and small schools in Shanxi", "the establishment of Ya Li Society" and "the uni-ficatiott movement of Chinese missionary schools"- showed that the Yihetuan movement and the development of missionary schools had indirect relation of cause and effect, if they did not have such a direct relation.
