- Abstract:
- In Chinese academic history, the indigenization of academic research has always been a hot topic.Sociology of education faced the problem of indigenization from the date of its arrival in modern China, thusarising an awareness of indigenization. During that period, the focus of indigenization was mainly on thecompatibility between the western theories and the Chinese reality: that is, among others, how to fit the teachingand research of sociology of education to Chinese language and the sociocultural conditions of modern China.When the theory and method of sociology of education was closely combined with the reality of Chinesesociety and education practice, modern China witnessed a rapid progress in the indigenization of sociologyof education particularly due to the efforts made by Chinese academics at that time to turn into the theoreticalresources and data for localizing sociology of education their practical experience gained in their participationinto developing the education and welfare in Chinese rural areas. Reviewing the course of indigenization ofeducational sociology in modern China cannot only promote the further development of sociology of educationin China, but also provide reference and inspiration for the discussion of the related theoretical issues concerningthe indigenization of sociology of education at present.
