多元公民身份与公民教育

Multiple Citizenship and Citizenship Education

公民是当代中国人转型的目标,公民教育也因此成为当代教育转型的必然走向。公民是公共生活中的互主体,主体间性连接着公民个人主体性和公共性,是公民的核心品质。当代社会的发展,使公民具有多元的身份。致力于培养公民的公民教育,必须超越狭隘的德育意义,指向多元公民身份的认同。当然,公民的培养,不能只依靠公民教育,必须与民主制度建设同步进行。

The acquisition of citizenship is the goal of the transformation of contemporary Chinese people ; citi- zenship education has thus become an inevitable trend in contemporary educational transformation. Citizens are the inter-subjects of public life, and therefore, inter-subjectivity, as a core quality of citizenship, embodies their existence as both individuals and social beings. The development of contemporary society enables citizens to acquire multiple identities. Citizenship education, aiming at producing high quality citizens, must rise a- bove the narrow moral significance and pursue a multiple citizenship identity. The cultivation of citizens cannot merely rely on citizenship education, but has to be carried out in line with the construction of a democratic system.
