美国基础教育课程内容更新机制及其启示

On Updating Mechanism and Revelation of American Basic Curricula

美国基础教育课程是与时代同行的课程,其课程内容之所以能不断更新、与时俱进,得益于一个由美国国家文化与国民心理、地方分权的课程管理制度、富于生活气息并且灵活多样的课程体系以及市场化的教科书制度共同构建起来的一个革新压力与革新空间并存的整体环境,这为我国课程内容更新机制的建立和课程内容的现代化提供了重要的经验。

American basic curricula are the ones that keep pace with the times. The reason why their contents can be updated timely is that they benefit from the reform pressure circumstances which consist of American culture, national mentality, curriculum management system, agile and colorful curriculum systems and market textbook system. This offers an important experience for the modernization of the curriculum contents and the establishment of updating mechanism for the curriculum in China.
