The Purpose of Education

从一般意义讲,在现代社会中教育有三个基本的目的追求。

第一、教育是一种传承人类文明的活动。教育的一个重要目的就是要通过教育这种活动,通过教师和学生的经验互动把人类已有的文明积淀建构到学生的身上,使学生成为一个“文明”的人。这种文明的人以现有文明积淀为基础,又建构和创生未来的文明。

第二、为社会培养时代需要的人才。教育的目的在很大程度上是时代需要的产物。一个社会的经济发展目标,政治现实和文化发展的需要决定着它对人才类型的需求,决定着它对学校教育的期待,从而也决定着现实的教育目的。

第三、发展人的潜能。人是包含着极大发展潜能的、极具可塑性的生物体。教育的目的就是要开发人的身体潜能、语言潜能、思维潜能、创造潜能以及情感和人格力量的潜能,使人的素质得到整体地提高。教育是使全体社会成员的身心潜能得到开发的活动,人的成长和由此而来的社会的进步才是教育的终极目的。
