道德启迪与政治社会化——美国公民教育对我国青少年思想政治教育的启示

Moral Enlightenment and Political Socialization: Implications of American Civic Education for Ideological and Political Education of China Intended for Adolescents

近年来,美国经济、社会转型带来一系列社会和政治问题,这对大众的道德价值观和政治态度产生很大影响。美国公民教育的经验主要体现在具有明确的培养目标,政府和教育界的大力推动以及教育手段的多样化。尽管中美两国存在政治制度上的差异,美国推行公民教育的理念、方法仍有值得借鉴之处。对于我国青少年思想政治教育而言,应从巩固教育主阵地、改革教学形式、重视教师培训等方面予以加强。

In recent years,the U.S is confronted with a series of social and political problems brought about by economic and social transformation. These problems have great impacts on the moral values and political attitudes of the public. The experience of civic education in the United States is mainly embodied in its clear objectives,the joint efforts by government and the education sector as well as the diversified means adopted. Though China is different from the U.S in political system, the philosophy and methods of the American civic education may well be used for reference in China for improving China＇s ideological and political education intended for adolescents. The ideological and political education in China should be enhanced by consolidating the main territory, reforming pedagogy, and strengthening teacher training.
