Life-Practice Educology
A Contemporary Chinese Theory of Education
Series: - Brillâs Series on Chinese Education, Volume: 4
In Life-Practice Educology: A Contemporary Chinese Theory of Education Ye Lan presents the theory of a contemporary Chinese school of Educology. It consists of two main parts. The first part proposes a fully formulated view on Life-Practice School of Educology and expounds on current thinking in China that denies the independence of educology as a discipline. The second part explains both inherited and new understandings of the Life-Practice School of Educology, covering Chinese traditional culture and the current debate. It further refines the Chinese understanding of Education (jiaoyu æè²) as teaching the knowledge of nature and society, and cultivating a self-conciousness towards life.
Ye Lan, a tenured professor at East China Normal University (ECNU), is the founder of and a leading scholar in Chinese âNew Basic Educationâ research and âLife-Practiceâ Educology. She has published many monographs and articles on Education.
