美国教育思想演化的主要阶段与基本特征

摘要 基于对美国教育史和教育思想史研究简单搬用美国政治史分期这一做法的质疑以及对美国教育思想史分期依据的讨论，本文主张根据美国教育的变迁轨迹将美国教育思想演变的过程划分为萌芽时期、形成时期、繁荣时期和多元化时期等四个阶段，认为美国教育思想的演变具有思想主体多元、思想内容复杂、思想论争普遍、呈现形式多样和时代特征鲜明等主要特点。
Abstract：Understanding the evolution of American education and American educational thoughts cannot just copy the historical understanding of American political history. Based on the evolution of American educa-tion, the research suggests that the history of American education has undergone the four developmental stages of germination, formation, prosperity, and pluralism and the evolution is characterized by multiple subjects, complex contents, widespread controversy and various representations with the striking features of the epoch.
