乡土教育“:乡土”与“天下”之链

Local Education:the Linkage between"the Local"and"World"

乡土教育作为一种传承乡土文化的教育,它是多元文化整合的有效途径,也是国民教育的有益补充。乡土和天下不只是一种特指的地理空间,也是一系列符号象征。从乡土到天下,既意味着地理空间的变化,也意味着人的变化,而链接乡土与天下的纽带则是乡土教育。通过开展乡土教育,可以让个体在感知乡土的基础上,逐步培养他们对乡土和天下的认同,从而真正成长为适应社会变迁的现代人。

The local education as an education that inherited the local culture, is a very effective method in multi-culture integration, and it is also the beneficial supplement to the national education. The both terms ＂local＂ and ＂World＂ not only mean the geographic space, they also are series of symbols. From the local to the World can not only mean the changes of the spaces, but also mean the changes of human being, in which the local education functions as the linkage between these two. By implementing local education, a person can feel the local feelings, and on the bases of which, he/she will be cultivated step by step to understand both his/her local place and the World, so that he/she can truly become a modem person who can adapt himself/herself to the social changes.
