关于大学课程设置的三个问题

On Three Problems of University Curriculum Reform

课程改革是大学教育改革的核心问题。大学课程设置的逻辑起点是学生发展的需要;大学课程设置的知识模块不是封闭的"金字塔"形状,应该是开放的"知识树"状态,课程设置的价值取向应坚持技术知识本位、知识能力本位和做人本位的有机统一;大学课程设置门数每个专业控制在50～60门课程之间、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、通识课程、实践课程分别控制在占课程总教学时数的1/3为宜。

Curriculum reform is one of the core issues of university education reform. University curriculum should be designed according to the needs of students＂ development. University curriculum content should be organized like an opened ＂knowledge tree＂ instead of a closed ＂pyramid＂. The value orientation of curriculum settings should abide by the value of technical knowledge, intellectual ability and people-orientation. For each major, the amount of total courses should be kept in 50-60, total credits should be about 150-160 credits and each credit should contain about 15 teaching hours. Besides, other courses, ineluding elective courses, general courses and practical courses should be accounted for 1/3 of total teaching hours.
