略论清末民初中国的中小学历史教育

On History Education of Chinese Middle and Primary Schools in the Late Qing Dynasty and Early Years of the Republic of China

清末民初,进化论的风行使人们的历史观念发生了变革。仿效西人注重历史教育以拯救危亡、开启民智已成为时人的共识。此时,政府颁行新学制,对中小学历史教育的相关内容和政策作出了界定。在新旧交替时期,中小学历史教育虽不至尽善尽美,但它促使了国人的觉醒和民族主义运动的高涨。

In the late Qing Dynasty and early years of the Republic of China, the dissemination of the Theory of Evolution changed people＇s conception of history. In order to save the nation and cultivate the intelligence of people, following the example of the West and attaching importance to history education became the common view of the people at the time. The government set up and enforced new educational system, which stimulated the relevant content and policy on history education in middle and primary schools. During the transition from the old to the new, history education of middle and primary schools wasn＇t perfect, but it raised people＇s awareness and gave impetus to the rise of the movement of nationalism.
