教育是一种技术，一种生产系统，其要素包括物质、语言和概念发明。每当试图理解教育实践时，这种教育技术的多维意义都是有用的。为此，我的论文研究了历史或技术记录的一小部分，即“发明专利”，这是一组很少（如果有的话）在英语教育史中使用的资料来源。为了评估这一来源，我的注意力集中在 1855 年至 1930 年间出版的“删节”上，其中专利申请根据其用途进行分组（例如“家具”或“文具”）；这些记录的多样性将通过参考同一时期著名的一项发明——课桌来说明。
Education is a technology, a production system whose elements comprise material, linguistic and conceptual inventions. This multi‐dimensional sense of educational technology is useful whenever attempts are made to understand educational practice. To this end, my paper examines a small corner of the historical or technological record, ‘patents of invention’, a set of sources that has seldom, if ever, been used in English‐language histories of education. To evaluate this source, my attention focuses on the ‘abridgements’, published between 1855 and 1930, where patent applications were grouped according to their use (e.g. as ‘furniture’ or ‘stationery’); and the diversity of these records will be illustrated by reference to an invention – the school desk – that was prominent over the same period.
