Modernity Value Purport and Crisis Resolution of Educational Modernization
The modernization of Chinese education shares similarities with the educational modernization of other countries worldwide,while also possessing distinct Chinese characteristics.The essence of educational modernization is the growth of modernity.Educational modernity is the value benchmark and overall characteristic of educational moderniza-tion.Prioritizing virtue is the starting point of educational modernity;cultivating the new generation is the landing point of educational modernity;shaping core values is the basic point of educational modernity.The modernity value purport of ed-ucational modernization is an inevitable value orientation towards the future of educational modernization,manifested as taking subjectivity as the value basis,transcendence as the value essence,criticality as the value goal,and normativity as the value dimensionality.Currently,the modernity of educational modernization faces the following constraints:the dilem-ma of balancing equity and quality and the supply-demand disparity of quality resources;the crisis of historical discontinu-ity caused by the disruption of traditional inheritance;the dissolution of value rationality by instrumental rationality;and the imbalance in system development due to a weak awareness of educational ecology.To alleviate the crises caused by these constraints,the following measures can be taken:achieving educational prosperity through the synergy of equity and quality;maintaining a broad historical perspective that remembers the past while advancing towards the future;being vigi-lant of the latent usurpation by capital inherent in technological instrumental rationality;and adhering to a systemic ap-proach to collaboratively build an educational ecosystem.The modernity of educational modernization is yet to be fully re-alized;it is future-oriented,continuously breaking through reality in social practice and constantly renewing and transcend-ing itself through self-criticism and critique.Only by resolving the real dilemmas of modernity can the process of Chinese educational modernization and the construction of education power take root and flourish.
