美国教育国际化对我国高校体验教育课程的启示

Inspiration from Educational Internationalization in the U. S. on Experiential Learning Courses in China＇s Colleges

学校传统的教育方式是让学生从书本中去学习前人的经验，这会造成学生与现实社会的距离太远，也会限制学生解决实际问题能力的发展。20世纪初美国教育心理学家提出了“体验学习”（experiential learning）的课题。20世纪末，随着全球经济一体化进程的加速与知识经济浪潮的冲击，各国政府纷纷进行跨世纪教育改革，越来越多的人们认识到学校是国际竞争力的体现，认识到体验教育在学校教育中的重要性。

The traditional education in colleges requires the students to learn from the historic experience. This education mode keeps the students away from the actual society and also restricts the development of their ability to solve practical problems. Experiential learning was proposed by educational psychologists in the U. S. at the 20^th century. As the acceleration of global economic integration and the boom of the knowledge economy at the end of the 20^th century,governments have carried out various education reforms which last to this century. More people have come to understand that a country＇s educational institutions represent its competitiveness in the international arena and the importance of experimental learning.
