我们需要怎样的高中教育——访上海纽约大学俞立中校长

What Kind of High School Education We Need:Interview with YU Lizhong,the Principal of NYU Shanghai

本文采用访谈的方法,对高中教育目标及课程改革进行探讨。本文认为,应该从学生的立场而非成人的角度去描述高中生应有的素养,这些素养包括拓展学习兴趣,锻炼学习洞察力,注重在知识、技能等方面形成一些特长及具备跨文化交流的能力。与此相配套,需要打通课程体系,尽量让不同学科领域"跨"起来。从这个意义上说,上海纽约大学所践行的培养目标、课程体系,所倡导的学习方式,以及所主张的选拔人才的模式,都值得参考和借鉴。
