西方教育心理学的实证主义与个体主义及其批判

心理学赖以确立的基础是实证主义，而实证主义的科学观极大地限制了心理学的发展。相对于心理学的实证主义，心理学的个体主义则构成了更为严重的困难，而且并不容易被加以取代。所以，运用心理学的研究成果解决教育问题就陷入了困境。教育心理学必须克服实证主义和个体主义的偏向，从社会－伦理的观点出发进行自我重构。

ON Positivism and Individualism in Western Educational Psychology and Their Criticism

Psychology, though based on positivism, has been handicapped heavily by the scientific conception of positivism. Compared with positivism, individualism is more serious and not easy to deal with. Therefore, application of psychology researchings to education falls into dire straits. Educational psychology has to overcome the erroneous tendencies of positivism and individualism and reconstrct itself from social and ethical viewpoints.
