Perspectives and Reflections of School Modernization Research
Three typical perspectives exist in current school modernization research.Among them,the holistic perspective primarily references educational modernization,viewing school modernization as the embodiment,elements,or means of educational modernization,characterized by subordination and externality.The internal perspective opposes simplifying school modernization as a mere extension of educational modernization,emphasizing the specificity of school organization,processes,and subjects,believing that school modernization possesses relative independence and autonomy.The future perspective focuses on the futurity and generativity nature of modernization,asserting that school modernization should be oriented towards the future to address opportunities and challenges posed by the digital,ecological,and diverse aspects of future society.In order to transcend the logic of the dichotomy implied by these three perspectives,the study of school modernization needs to return to the essence of school education,re-engage in complex thinking to address tensions between elements and systems,adopt an interactive approach to manage internal and external contradictions,and embrace a continuous concept to confront the relationship between the past and the future.
