通识教育的文化使命

The Cultural Mission of General Education

通识教育作为大学教育的基础部分,深含着文化的信念与价值,肩负着培养具有民族文化的年轻一代,维护国家、民族认同与归属的使命,并坚守着传承民族文化的传统。构建与延续文化认同是通识教育的精神与动力,也是其生长、发展的根基。当前,我国通识教育必须转变"横向移植"的形式化取向,强调中国的文化认同;以本土文化资源为基础,建立自己的通识教育,担负起培育中华民族精神的责任。

As the basis of higher education, general education implies the belief and value of culture, shoulders the commission of cultivating young people with national culture and maintaining national identity and belongingness and stick to the custom of passing on national culture. Constructing and continuing cultural identity are not only the spirit and motion of gen- eral education but also the basis of its growth and development. At present, general education in China must alter the orientation of formalism and emphasize the identity of Chinese culture; must establish Chinese general education based on local culture and take on the responsibility of cultivating Chinese national spirit.
