Feminist Educational Ideal

At present,the research paradigms of the history of educational thought in China are mostly based on philosophical interpretations,such as diachronic research and synchronic research.The main method of this paradigm is based on the educational perspectives of famous philosophers,thinkers,politicians,and scientists.Their thoughts are sorted into a complete system by reading their works.Although this method is helpful for understanding and learning,it only answers the question of "what" is the educational thought,but it often separates educational thought from the specific historical background,so it is difficult to answer the question of "why" and "how" of one educational thought is formed.Therefore,this article selects feminist pedagogy as the research object,starting from the external historical environment and internal thinking logic of the development of ideas,systematically and comprehensively combing the historical development process of feminist educational thought,explaining its development logic,revealing and understanding the root and essence of its educational thinking and the relationship between the thought and the particular educational reality.This article mainly uses the literature research method and case study method to analyze the realistic and ideological factors that affect feminist pedagogy vertically and horizontally.As a carrier of feminist education ideal,feminist pedagogy was born from the social reality of oppression of American women after World War II,and the establishment of feminism studies was the direct cause of feminist pedagogy.Emancipating women and achieving gender equality is the eternal political goal of feminism and feminism.This basic political standpoint also affects feminist pedagogy.It regards the cultivation of feminists to participate in the feminism movement as its educational goal.Different expositions of different feminist education parties have more or less influence on the construction of feminist pedagogy,but feminist pedagogy has absorbed post-modern feminist cultural deconstruction theory as its own education policy.The core of the policy lies in deconstructing male discourse hegemony in knowledge and teaching methods.Focusing on the educational goals of achieving gender equality and the educational policy of cultural deconstruction,feminist pedagogy has developed three basic teaching strategies,including "empowerment","community" and "leadership".Although the theoretical system of feminist pedagogy is not very rigorous,its greatest theoretical contribution is to provide a female perspective for the improvement of the education system,which has aroused people’s attention to gender issues in education and enriched educational Ideas and vision.Although the ideal of feminist pedagogy is far from being realized,its emergence shows that future education will pay more attention to the important topic of gender equality,which has a profound impact on the human process.
