金生教授的教育研究可分为两个方面：一方面，他通过对理解与教育、德性与教化、规训与教化、教育与正义等一对对概念内在关系的深入阐释，揭示了不同时代教育发展的根本问题所在；另一方面，他始终关注人的灵魂以及教育在人的灵魂重建中的作用。这两个方面共同构成了一个广博而深邃的教育世界，在这个世界里，教育研究者用审慎的品格去追寻教育的理性真理，寻求变革现实教育应有的根本目的、根本价值和根本准则，并且为教育应有的理想辩护。“,”The studies of Professor Jin can be divided into two aspects .On the one hand ,through the illumination of the internal relations between understanding and education ,virtue and education ,disciplinary and education ,education and justice ,he describes the fundamental is-sues of educational development in different eras .On the other hand ,he always focuses on human soul and the part education plays in the re-construct of it .These two aspects together constitute a broad and profound education world ,where education researchers prudently pursue the ra-tional truth of education ,quest for the fundamental goal ,core values and basic principles needed when revolutionizing present education and de-fend the ideal of education .
