타오싱즈(陶行知) 실용주의교육을 통해 본 근대 중국의 계몽교육

Abstract

The purpose of the paper aims to explain the educational thought of Tao Xingzhi(hereafter, ETTX) in modern China. The background of ETTX is the educational philosophy of John Dewey who had established modern American educational philosophy. The contents include the core structure, important contents and methods to practice ETTX. The structure of ETTX would be the three basic concepts of ETTX as practice-minded, people centered and teach-and-learning-be-the-one principles. The contents would be the four elements as sincere knowledge, early personality education, the harmony between labor and spirit education, and the science and art education. The methods of ETTX would be the creative education, independent education, democratic education, child-would-be-the teacher, and the spread of education. In conclusion, I suggest three points that first, the ETTX would be understood as comprehensive human development, second, the contents and methods of ETTX would have the tendencies of revolution of both human and society as the whole system, and third, the ETTX as the Chinese characterization of the education would be the avaliable conception system.
