Phenomenological Pedagogy

For a long time, educators have always been looking for something which can be quantized, defined and generalized because of the influence of western positivism. Pedagogy also keeps away from pedagogical "life-world" and ignores the difference between each individual child, so it breaks away pedagogy itself and makes people a sense of alienation. Pedagogy ignores the original pedagogical situation and the inner rich experience. During its pursuing generalization, pedagogical fresh juice is squeezed, only nonfigurative, vapid concepts and definitions left, just like a fresh plum becoming a dried prune. The fresh juice in pedagogy is gone from life in the name of pursuing generalization."go back to things themselves" and "life-world" in phenomenology change our attitudes and manners to pedagogy. When we reconsider it from the point of view of phenomenology, we find that pedagogy is practical in nature, and the place where pedagogy is occurring is pedagogical life-world and the place we should go back to.The viewpoints of phenomenology make us disentangle from nonfigurative, tenebrous pedagogical theories and return to the animated place where pedagogy is occurring. Phenomenological pedagogy focuses on researching lived experiences. It emphasizes the importance of practice and also pursues the realization of pedagogical significance. It stresses the intersubjectivity between teacher and student and pays attention to reflection. It seeks understanding and pays attention to pedagogical context. It emphasizes that love, concern and responsibility are pedagogical conditions.... All of these are occurring in animated pedagogical life-world. Pedagogical life-world and the place where pedagogy is occurring contain abundant pedagogical significance. It is also a headspring of realizing pedagogical significance. Phenomenological pedagogy is full and lively. It is an exhibition of animated pedagogical life-world. It can awake the soul of a person.Phenomenological pedagogy "considers children' s happiness first, and treat the youth earnestly. It can always consider pedagogy from the viewpoints of children." Phenomenological pedagogy makes pedagogy occur naturally in "very idiographic, and actual life situations", just like "love and friendship". It makes people find everything new and fresh and feel a "new" pedagogy possible.
