教育转型·人的转型·公民教育

Education Transformation,Human Transformation and Civic Education

社会转型必然伴随着教育的转型。教育的自觉转型以人的转型为核心。公民是当代中国人之转型所在,公民教育也因此成为当代中国教育转型之所在。公民教育不是政治教化,也不只是公民意识教育,而是一种以培养公民完整素质为宗旨的新的教育形态。个人主体性和公共性是公民的两个基本品质。当代公民的公共性已从传统的国家公民延伸到社会公民和世界公民。因此,当代公民需要具备个人公民、社会公民、国家公民、世界公民等多重身份,我们也必须以具备多重身份的复合型公民的要求来设计公民教育的层次与目标。

Education transformation comes together with social transformation. The core in self-motivated education transformation is human transformation. Citizenship plays a sig- nificant role in the transformation of Chinese people. As a result of that, civic education is the key in Chinese education transformation. Civic education is neither political education nor education of citizenship awareness. It is a new form of education with an aim to foster high quality citizens. Individuality and communality are the two basic quality of citizenship. The communality of contemporary citizens includes the traditional view of nation citizenship to so- cial and world citizenship. Contemporary people have taken up multiple roles of being indi- vidual, social, national and world citizens. In designing the curriculum of civic education, the different levels and goal are required to meet the various roles of complex citizenship.
