Reflection And Construction:The New Exploration On Basic Problems Of Vocational Education From The Perspective Of Philosophy Of Technology

In the present research fields of vocational education in our country,philosophy research of vocational education is very weak and is in a marginal position relative to the scientific research and practice research of vocational education which are in the mainstream status.This leads to a fact that lots of original problems haven?t gotten the ultimate explanation and clarification.Therefore,it affects people?s perception and understanding of vocational education and also affects the development of vocational education practice fundamentally.Philosophy of technology reflects technology comprehensively.It not only explores the internal problems,such as the essence of technology,the relationship and difference between technology and science,the recognition pattern of technology of internal problems of technology,but also focuses on the external problems of technology,such as the relationship between technology and human beings,technology and the society,technology and the nature.The unity of technology and humanities is its basic value pursuit.The research achievements of technology philosophy have a very important significance on the theory research and practice development of vocational education which takes technology as the basic component.The objective of research is to interpret and think on the original problems by using the related theory of philosophy of technology as the analysis tool,on the basis of which the ideal prospect of vocational education practice will be put forward.Literature method,history method and philosophical speculations method are used as the basic research methods.Firstly,it interprets the related theories of philosophy of technology deeply and combines the related theories of vocational education detailedly through the literature method.Secondly,it grasps the history of technology philosophy and vocational education development through the history method.Thirdly,it analyzes the original problems of vocational education by applying the method of philosophical speculations: revealing the inherent relationship between vocational education and technological survival by using the method of phenomenology;analyzing the epistemology basis of vocational education by using technology epistemology;clarifying the significance of existence in the vocational education by using the philosophy of value.The research ideas and conclusion are as follows: at the beginning,the paper reviews philosophy theory associated with this study,then mines the connotation of technology and philosophy of technology,clarifies the three dimensions of the theoretical framework of philosophy of technology: technological existence dimension,technological cognation dimension and the technological value dimension.From the perspective of which the paper answers and explains the ontological,epistemological and axiological problems of vocational education.Based on the perspective of the theory of technological existence,the paper probes the base and demands of vocational education,then configures that the thing-in-itself of vocational education is the unity of technological exsistence and the promise of education.Taking technological epistemology as the analysis tool,the paper explores gaming of technological reason and technological rationality in the process of vocational education aims established,clarifies the knowledge selection and organization of the vocational education curriculum on the basis of the characteristics and cognitive rules of the technological knowledge as a whole,and the curriculum pattern evolves following the technological logic from the “primary tools” to “subprime tools”,clears the existential pattern of technology in vocational education teaching,teaching method choosing is based on the characteristics of tacit knowledge,and teaching process obeys the mode of technological cognation;Starting from technological axiology,Habermas?s theory of “interest” are used to analyze vocational education meeting the demand for the subject development,and it is concluded that the intrinsic value of vocational education from the three aspects are technological value,practical value,emancipantory value.Taking technology as the value of mediation,it is concluded that the extrinsic value of vocational education from the three aspects are economical value,cultural value and natural value.Based on the interpretation of original problems of vocational education,four aspects of ideal picture are finally put forward: cultivating the “wholeness” technical viability in order to implement vocational education ontology;taking “technological knowledge” as the center to implement curriculum integration;following the rules of technical knowledge to realize a reasonable vocational education teaching;Combining the dual demand of technology and humanities,to implement the comprehensive evaluation of the talents.
