The Value and Logic of Modernization of Chinese-style Education
The modernization of Chinese-style education represents the culmination of China's exploration of educational mod-ernization.It has withstood the test of history,from saving the nation from peril to self-reliance,national rejuvenation,and ulti-mately national glory.This modernization reflects the deepening understanding of education by the Chinese people and is character-ized by four distinct features:rationalization,subjectivity,nationalization,and specialization.Rationalization marks the starting point of China's educational modernization,signifying the shift from a pragmatic approach to an ontological understanding,and is driven by the external logic of modernization.Subjectivity is the key to Chinese educational modernization,representing the transi-tion from dependence to independence,and is an inherent requirement of modernization.Nationalization lies at the heart of China's educational modernization,embodying the transformation from imitation to creativity,and is a practical reflection of the logic of modernization.Specialization represents the ultimate goal of Chinese educational modernization,emphasizing the shift from inherit-ance to innovation,and reflects the theoretical logic of modernization,aiming to surpass Western educational models.The continu-ous progression of rationalization,subjectivity,nationalization,and specialization forms the developmental logic of modernization of Chinese-style education,characterized by its exogenous,subjective,ontological,and original nature,driving creative transforma-tions in China's education system.
