1、毕业论文开题报告英语DIFFERENTFAMILYEDUCATIONCONCEPTSANDCHILDRENSPERSONALITYFORMATION一、论文选题的背景、意义(所选课题的历史背景、国内外研究现状和发展趋势)(一)背景及意义在文化交流不断发展的今天,对于人才的培养也就越发地重视起来了。人人都说“父母是孩子的第一任老师”,孩子的家庭教育如何往往对孩子以后的人生发展有着非常重要的影响。也正因为如此,对于家庭教育的研究也就越来越多。中国人重视对孩子科学文化知识的教育,家长常常告诫自己的孩子要懂得知恩图报,要懂得尊重长辈,长幼有序,学习好文化知识之后找到一个很好的工作来回报社会回报自己的父
2、母。但是,美国的家长则教育孩子要懂得独立自主,培养自己良好的习惯,不依赖父母,还要具有自信心,重视自我实现。在不同的家庭教育之中,所培养出来的孩子的个性也是不一样的,中国的孩子学习成绩好,但是动手能力差,对自己的能力不够自信,容易怀疑自己,缺乏自己独立思考的能力,而西方国家的家庭所培养出来的孩子大多数有自己对问题的见解,有自己的思想,有独立自主的能力,和坚强的意志所有的这些都显示了在不同的文化下所培养的孩子个性的不同,为了能够培养出更好的人才,中西方都对家庭教育加强了重视,因此,家庭教育也就成为了教育界的一个热门话题。到底中国的家庭教育和西方国家的家庭教育有那些差异呢这些差异有对孩子的个性形成
3、产生了怎么样的影响呢我们该怎么从中西双方不同的家庭教育中找到恰当的教育方法呢这就成为了我们要解决的问题。因此,本文通过对中美两国之间的家庭教育的差异的分析,来找出形成这种差异的原因,并且通过两国之间的家庭教育差异来分析孩子个性形成方面的不同,以此来进行跨文化交际,取长补短,来研究出适合中国孩子成长的正确的教育方法。(二)研究现状1中国对“家庭教育”的研究中国的很多教育学家或学者对中国现代家庭教育做了相应研究,主要有彭立荣(1993)提到,父母亲在家庭中对子女进行培养、教育和影响,使其长大成人,成为社会的一员,就是家庭教育。冯林(2001)提到,通过与教育方面的专家学者、学生子女、学校教师、社会
4、人士和家长的访谈,对中国家庭教育的现状、观念、思想、方法等问题进行了讨论,揭露了中国家长的十大“原罪”家长作风,专制主义,暴力倾向,赏罚简单,重智轻德,分数第一,,等等。吴起程,袁元(2002)提到,家庭教育是指在一定的家庭教育文化背景下,主要是父母对未成年的子女或其他年幼者施加的有助于他们社会化或形成健全人格、德智体全面发展的教育影响活动。王丽(2010)提到,家庭教育的定义可以延伸为家庭教育不仅是一个家庭的活动,它也关系到整个社会。家庭教育不是为了学习家庭关系和生活技巧,也是对家庭的每个成员的生理和心理的学习,同时也是对成员全面发展的学习。家庭教育不仅是父母或者长辈对家庭里的孩子和年轻一代
5、的教育,同时也是所有家庭成员之间的相互教育。家庭教育不仅仅是学前教育更是终生教育。2西方对“家庭教育”的研究斯宾塞(2001)指出教育应该是快乐的,当一个孩子处于不快乐的情绪中时,他的智力和潜能就会大大降低,呵斥和指责不会带来好的结果。洛克(2001)从德行、智慧、身心健康、礼仪等方面阐述了自己的教育观,他强调把孩子当作独立的人,用平等和尊重的态度对待孩子,在如何具体进行家庭教育的问题上,洛克提出了许多有现实意义的方法,例如反对鞭答,提倡说理教育重视榜样在儿童教育中的作用,主张用正确的奖励和惩罚的方法对孩子进行道德教育等。卢梭(2008)在爱弥儿中强调教育要适应自然,追随儿童的天性,符合儿童的
6、年龄特征。(三)发展趋势家庭教育观念既然是一个跨文化的学术命题,中西研究双方必须具备必要的跨文化知识,以开明宽容的态度和相对自由的立场,运用理性的分析判断来证明自己的观点。中国的家庭教育与美国的家庭教育之间虽然有一定的共同部分,但是由于两国之间的历史背景、文化传统等方面的不同,使得中美两国之间的家庭教育观念具有明显的差异,即两国在社会条件,家庭教育方式和父母的角色观念都存在差异。而今后的发展是在理解这些差异之后,找出差异形成的原因,以及该差异下对孩子的个性形成所产生的影响。我认为,只有在分析和理解了以上三个方面之后,才能对我国存在的家庭教育观念中存在的缺点进行调节,以培养出服务社会的具有良好个
7、性的人才。二、研究的基本内容与拟解决的主要问题题目既然是中美家庭教育观念差异与孩子的个性形成,那么其研究的基本内容主要包括以下几个方面1中美家庭教育观念的差异主要探讨的是中美家庭教育观念差异的三个方面,即社会条件,家庭教育方式和父母角色观念。2导致中美家庭教育观念差异的因素主要探讨的是导致家庭教育观念差异的两个因素,即社会因素和文化因素,在社会因素方面还包括历史形态和经济形态两个方面,而在文化因素中也包括了心理、思维方风格和价值取向三个方面。3中美家庭观念差异下孩子的个性形成在分析了差异形成的原因之后,第三部分分析在此差异下孩子的个性形成的不同。孩子在父母观念差异下的独立个性的形成,在教育方式
8、差异下自信心的培养以及社会条件差异下的自我实现。4中美家庭教育的相互借鉴经过以上三个方面的阐述,对现在的中美双方各自家庭教育中存在的问题进行分析和调节,中美双方进行家庭教育的相互借鉴。5总结综合以上几个方面,我们得出结论,中美家庭教育的各有各自的优点和缺点,我们必须通过对双方文化的理解,在此基础上对两国的叫停教育进行改革,以达到培养优秀接班人的目的。(二)拟解决的主要问题1中国的孩子与美国孩子的个性区别。很多人都会认为中国的孩子遵守纪律,学习成绩优秀,但是在活动发面总是表现出不足。不够活跃,不够积极,精神状态不佳,就这一问题,文章给出了解释。2中国的家庭教育与美国的家庭教育所存在的不足。不管是
9、何种家庭教育,在现今社会都存在着利弊,美国的孩子更加容易成为问题孩子,中国的孩子心理问题以及压力问题严重,这都说明这两种不同形式的家庭教育所存在的问题。3中美两国的家庭教育之间进行的相互借鉴中美双方的家庭教育都存在着或多或少的问题,怎么样才能够让家庭教育的问题缩小化呢应该对两种家庭教育形式进行相互借鉴,在进行跨文化交际的同时不断提高家庭教育的水平,以促进人才的培养。三、研究的方法和技术路线(一)搜集资料的方法1、访问INTERNET。在信息技术高速发展的今天,上网已成为寻找资料的理想途径。相信在日新月异的互联网上,能找到不少有用的素材精美的图片、详实的资料、各种论文及书刊一切尽在掌握之中。2、
10、到图书馆翻阅资料。“书到用时方恨少”,要进行研究,光凭手上的资料是不够的。充分利用学校的图书馆,随时都可查阅资料。在走访图书馆的过程中,两类书籍将成为重点关注对象(1)中文书籍。中国的历史上下五千年,对于家庭教育的研究资料也是比比皆是的。教育家陶行知,胡适等人的精辟阐述,是我茅塞顿开。(2)英文原版书籍。一看到英文的原版书户籍中对于家庭教育的种种阐述,也使我眼前一亮,与此同时,还顺便提高了自己的阅读能力。3看看影视作品。关于家庭教育的影视作品比比皆是。成长的烦恼(GROWINGPAINS),跳出我天地(BILLYELLIOT)(二)研究方法1、分类法分类讨论不仅是数学思想,把不同的信息分类,有
11、便于研究工作的顺利进行。经过分类,龙文化的时空差异可以清晰的突现出来,更具说服力。同时将中西方龙的内涵进行分类,有利于更全面更直观地了解清楚。2、提取法纷繁复杂的原始资料,不经提取,不免令人眼花缭乱。因此,需要将所得资料进行整理和筛选,只有经过择优录取,才可提取到真正有用的信息。3对比法从不同方面对中美两国之间的家庭教育进行分析,了解其不同之处,和其原因等等。(三)技术路线首先通过所掌握的资料,得出中美两国的家庭教育的差异,之后,分析形成这些差异的原因,再从差异对孩子的个性形成进行阐述,在最后提出两种不同家庭教育观念之间的相互借鉴。四、论文详细工作进度和安排起始年月进度安排2010年10月20
