Some Theoretical Issues on Deepening University Curriculum Reform

课程改革是教育改革的核心工程。大学课程改革首先应做到合目的性,遵循知识、技术、能力和做人的统一,确定课程知识的模块组合,使大学课程知识呈现出开放的"知识树"状态。比较研究显示,大学课程设置门数每个专业应控制在55门课程左右,总学分控制在150—160之间,每个学分控制在15学时左右,选修课程、实践课程的比例应提高到30%以上。加强课程编制者与课程使用者对课程的理解,消解人为造成的科学知识与人文知识分离的状态,正确对待与处理好大学课程建设的普适性与校本化、国外经验借鉴的中国化问题。

Curriculum reform is the core of educational reform. University curriculum reform should first be made in conformity with the intended purposes, and then with knowledge, technology, ability and characterbuilding united as an integral whole. In this way, the modules of curriculum knowledge can be created, and university curriculum knowledge will reveal itself as an open and ever-growing ＂knowledge tree＂. Comparative research shows that the courses in the curriculum of every university major should not go beyond 55, and the total credit hours should be limited to somewhere between 150 and 160 with about 15 teaching hours for each credit and that the optional and practice courses should be increased to above 30% of the total courses. In addition, curriculum-makers＇ and curriculum-users＇ understanding of the curriculum should be improved, the man-made separation between scientific and humanistic knowledge should be eliminated and appropriate measures should be taken to solve the problems in curriculum making, to strike a balance between universality and locality, and to localize the foreign experience.
