摘要
英国工党政府试图把教育和经济整合起来,为此在小学坚持直接地面向全班的教学,保留教育标准办公室,提高读写算的成绩标准。但传统教育学并不能很好地服务于注重创造性的知识经济。政府面临两难选择,它既不情愿放松对初等教育的控制,又意识到必需变革教学法。新教育学并非缺乏学术基础,而是引入进步主义的教育学需要较高的师生比和财政投入,引入“激进的”教育学要冒政治风险。
In Britain,the government tries to integrate education into the economy,so it retains direct,whole-class teaching in primary schools,and retains the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted),and enhances the standards of achievement in numeracy and literacy. But the traditional pedagogy can not well serve an emerging knowledge-based economy wherein creativity is at a premium. The government is ambivalent,seemingly reluctant to loosen its pedagogical grip on primary education,yet beginning to realise that pedagogical change is needed. Its reluctance seems not to turn on the lack of an academic basis for a new pedagogy,but on the financial implications of introducing a more progressive pedagogy which would require higher teacher-pupil ratios,and on the political risks of endorsing a more radical pedagogy.
