[討論] 師範 Normal

According to the 1988 edition of the Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins: Normal Schools derive their name from the French phrase ecole normale. These teacher-training institutions, the first of which was established in France by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1685, were intended to set a pattern, establish a “norm” after which all other schools would be modeled. The first normal school in America was established in Vermont in 1823. The name fell out of favor toward the end of the 1920s, when the influence of Columbia University’s Teachers College became paramount in the field of public education. Most such institutions changed their names to “ teachers colleges” during the 1930s. Now that the “progressive education” teachings of the Columbia group have been discredited, the Progressive Education Association itself has disbanded and most colleges have dropped “ teachers” from their names. Thus we find that the normal school of grandfather’s day became a “state teachers college” during father’s youth, but today’s sprouts are attending “state colleges.” https://www.jmu.edu/centennialcelebration/normalschool.shtml#:~:text=Normal%20Schools%20derive%20their%20name,other%20schools%20would%20be%20modeled. -- https://www.taigi-domiso.com/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 220.136.229.217 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Translation/M.1724475084.A.5FF.html
