ABSTRACT

This article is an up-dated version of Gordon Brown's ontological approach to education. It tests the hypothesis that Roy Bhaskar's critical realism can successfully underpin education by applying it to: (1) curriculum; (2) pedagogy; and (3) assessment. It argues that critical realism provides an inter-disciplinary praxis, built around science, sociology and metaphysics, which can be taken up by educationalists to enhance their agency and produce positive knowledge cultures in their every day practices. Therefore Bhaskar's critical realism can unify those streams of educational thought that tend to create divisions which impede the development of knowledge cultures, and limit agency.

摘要

本文是戈登·布朗的本体论教育方法的最新版本。它检验了以下假设：罗伊·巴斯卡的批判现实主义可以通过将其应用于以下方面来成功地支持教育：（1）课程；（2）教学法；（3）评估。它认为批判现实主义提供了围绕科学，社会学和形而上学的跨学科实践，教育学家可以利用这些实践来增强他们的代理能力，并在他们的日常实践中产生积极的知识文化。因此，巴斯卡的批判现实主义可以统一那些倾向于造成阻碍知识文化发展并限制代理的分裂教育思想流。
