通识教育中国化:理论与实践的反思

General education in China: reflection of theory and practice

"通识教育中国化"是一段艰难的历程,我国大学通识教育理念与实践形成了巨大的反差,文化因素、制度因素、理论因素和技术因素是影响通识教育的四个主要方面。以比较教育的视角来观察中美大学的通识课程实践,我们可以防止类似于邯郸学步的错误,正确地认识中美两国大学的差异,从而指导我国大学的课程与教学改革。

＂General Education in China＂ is a difficult process during which the theory and practice of general education in our universities form a tremendous contrast. The cultural, institutional, theoretical and technical factors are the four main aspects which affect general education. Observing the general education curriculum practice of the universities in America and China in the perspective of Comparative Education, we can prevent the similar mistakes of imitating others slavishly, and can understand the differences in universities of the two countries to guide correctly our university curriculum and teaching reforms.
