关于天才儿童教育的争论除了源于教育理念本身的差异外,还有一个隐蔽的重要原因,那就是“天才”这个词在我国的社会文化生活中代表了两种截然不同的概念一是文学隐喻的“天才”概念二是专业研究的“天才”概念。两种概念的交叉混用导致人们种种不正确的教育观念和行为,严重阻碍了我国天才儿童教育发展的进程。本文拟对“人人都是天才”、“培养天才”这两个隐喻表达在教育中的错误理解和消极影响进行分析,以澄清“天才”的两种概念及天才儿童教育的专业内涵。 Apart from the differences in educational philosophy itself, there is a hidden important reason why the controversy over genius children’s education is that the term “genius” represents two distinct concepts in our country’s social and cultural life. One is literary metaphor The concept of “genius” 2 is the “genius” concept of professional research. The cross-mixing of the two concepts leads people to all kinds of incorrect educational concepts and behaviors, which seriously hinders the progress of the education of the talented children in our country. This paper attempts to analyze the misunderstanding and negative influence of “metaphor for all being a genius” and “cultivating genius” in order to clarify the two concepts of “genius” and the professional connotation of genius children’s education.
