The research of the past has often ignored the discrimination of the educational process and the learning life process, and even has made the educational process in the replace of the learning life process. The problems of life and the students' learning life have gradually entered the arena of the academic study with the development of the philosophical thoughts and the reformation of the schooling, in the result, it has become the trend and the requirement on focusing on students' learning life, instead of focusing on learning, in the research of the students' development.By Learning Life, it means a special existence process expressed by the form of learning activities; whereas, I define Quality of Learning Life as the concentration of reflection for the degree of the life existence in the process of learning life, which includes students' subjective feelings, objective outcome and practical behaviors. Therefore, this paper makes the specific research for the students' learning life in the contemporary school education by three aspects of scientism, humanism and social restriction from the perspective of quality of students' learning life.From the aspect of scientism, I make an analysis on the situation of the learning life by following the nature of the scientific life. Scientism is a quality system of the scientific life that accumulates in the scientific culture, incarnated by the scientific knowledge, the scientific methods and the scientific spirit, thus, it is the unification of certainty and uncertainty, unification of empiricism and metaphysics, unification of inheritance and exploration. Because the learning life and the scientific life have the homogeneity, the learning life should share scientism. The contemporary learning life emphasizes on certainty, metaphysics and exploration, while comparatively, ignores uncertainty, empiricism and exploration. The unbalance of the scientism in the learning life has caused the shortage of the learning space and time and sparsity of the learning content in the learning life.From the aspect of humanism, I explore the situation of the learning life by the human's basic life characteristics. Humanism is a basic life characteristics system that accumulates in the human culture, incarnated by the humanistic knowledge, the humanistic methods and the humanistic spirit, thus, it is the unification of regulation and generation, unification of understanding and experience and unification of sociality and individualism. The learning life is the life process of the students as the human being, therefore, it should have the humanism. But in the contemporary learning life, regulation, understanding and sociality are emphasized extremely, but generation, experience and individualism are comparatively weakened. The bias and miss of the humanism in the learning life has resulted in the human's loss and has occurred the students' alienation.From the aspect of the social restriction, I study the situation of the learning lifefrom the traditional culture, institutionalized learning life and the environments of theschool and family. The traditional culture which combines Family, Xiao and Ren hasthe ideal of "the whole person" as the value of the learning life, that is, the studentshould become the good kids, mini-adult and superman. The ideal of cultivating"good kids" over-emphasizes the will of the adult to the children, causing theirdistortion; while, the ideal of educating "mini-adult" makes the pursuit to become theadult, causing children losing interest in the learning, the pursuit of educating"superman" makes students departure from the human's nature, causing children"losing real life" in their learning life. Institutionalized learning life, the competitionof the resource as its nature, aims at the formation of institutionalized person for thefuture, brightening the pursuit of interest and effectiveness, causing the definite andnarrow learning goals, the efficient and unilateral learning life, and students' living asa role instead of as a human being, which satisfy the effective re...
