Using philosophical research methods, this paper reviews the educational views of G. Biesta, a leading scholar on both sides of the Atlantic in recent year. Biesta believed that education has three major tasks: qualification, socialization and subjectification. He pointed out that, however, too much emphasis had been put on qualification and socialization after the Western Enlightenment. This emphasis on students’ learning output, which he called learnification, reflected the commercial logic of capitalism and failed to promote the growth of students. Meanwhile, the emphasis on autonomy since the Enlightenment and the recent development of hermeneutics and constructivism raised the value of subject, but failed to attach importance to the existence of subject as connected with the other; teachers had been regarded as facilitators who help students learn. Biesta explored the wisdom of European thinkers and reflected on these phenomena. He proposed the concepts of transcendence, giving and interruption, hoping to bring new ideas to teaching and to re-explore the teacher-student relationship. At the end of this paper, the author comments on two deficiencies of Biesta’s thoughts: subjectification contains qualification, socialization, insufficient profound argument, and over-reliance on religious interpretation for the transcendental role of teachers. The author also proposes that teacher education should cultivate future teachers in three tasks: deeply criticizing the purpose of education based on learnification, embodying the educational commitment of students as subject, and daring to undertake the practical wisdom of teaching. |
