人类学的田野工作及对教育研究的启示

人类学的田野工作是人类学研究最主要、最基本的方法,田野工作开创了一种有别于书斋式的研究思路,对人文学科的研究产生了深刻的影响。在教育领域,借鉴田野工作的成果来审思、检讨教育学,对探求教育研究的应有之义大有裨益。本文借鉴人类学田野工作研究一个社会所采用的特殊方法和研究视角等,就如何丰富、充实教育研究,更新教育学研究观念和视角,拓宽教育研究的方法和思维方式,发展扎根于中国的本土教育的理念等方面进行了初步的探讨。

Fieldwork in Anthropology and Its Enlightment to Education

It stimulates a new research idea, which is different from the "Study Style" ones, and has deep effect on humanities research. Using the results of fieldwork to speculate and analyze education is of great benefit to exploring the intrinsic nature of education research, in the field of education. Using the special methods and perspective adopted by fieldwork in social research, this paper discussed the question of how to enrich education research, update its concept and perspective, broaden its methods and modes of thinking, and of how to develop a natural education idea rooted in China as well.
