世界大多数作家、学者们认为最早提出“继续教育”理论的是法国成人教育家保罗·郎格朗。时间在本世纪的60年代初期,但实际上中国人民教育家——陶行知早在1934年的“全民教育”、“生活教育”等多篇论著中就阐述了“继续教育”思想。作者认为,“继续教育”的理论源于华夏。 Most of the world’s writers and scholars believe that the earliest “continuous education” theory is the French adult educator Paul Langgrang. Time was in the early 1960s. However, in fact, the Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi elaborated on the concept of “continuing education” as early as 1934, including “Education for All” and “Life Education.” The author believes that “continuing education” theory stems from China.
