An Elusive Science
Douban
Ellen Condliffe Lagemann publishing house: University Of Chicago Press 2002 - 5
Since its beginnings at the start of the 20th century, educational scholarship has been a marginal field, criticized by public policy makers and relegated to the fringes of academe. An Elusive Science explains why, providing a critical history of the traditions, conflicts, and institutions that have shaped the study of education over the past century.

五星推荐。非常完整的历史叙事,既accessible又充满洞见。这么多年以后重新回首这段历史——在博士班的时候我从身边老师那听过其中许多内容,但当时都自以为是地觉得「美国的历史有什么意思?」——才发现学科发展有那么多相似性。TC、斯坦福和哈佛在20世纪早期的历史和今天有非常多的相似之处。教育作为一个「有利可图」但低人一等的领域,与社会科学的其他学科保持着一种奇怪的动态。这一态势不单单在心理学,同样在教育管理,课程研究领域一再重复。当然,Lagemann的视角是教育领域内部,所以她忽视的是学科生态之间的关系,或者说,是过度决定导致生态没法出现;同样,二元论(杜威和桑代克、学校调查和心理测量、教育史和历史学者)也遮盖了学科知识发展的其他路径,一个最典型的例子当然是杜威的实用主义后代们。
