澳大利亚中小学价值教育中的“学生行动团队”项目及其启示

The Approach of Student Action Teams in Australia and Its Implications for Values Education in China

"学生行动团队"项目是当前澳大利亚中小学价值教育的重要途径之一。学生以团队的形式组合在一起,针对亟待解决的社区问题开展调查研究,并参与问题的改进。该项目特别注重社区在学生价值形成中的重要作用,引导学生去关注自己、同伴、家人及邻里的日常生活实践。同时,该项目充分发挥研究的作用,一方面在研究中架设实践平台,丰富学生的价值体验;另一方面以研究激发学生的价值思考,牵动抽象价值的展开与具体经验的凝练。

This article presents the Student Action Teams approach to values education,which is commonly adopted in Australian primary and secondary schools. In a Student Action Team,students collaborate with each other to identify and tackle a community issue.Research has been given great significance in the approach. It scaffolds opportunities for students to experience values on the one hand,and to initiate dynamic meanings transformation between the abstract and concrete levels on the other. What we can learn from the approach involves how to explore research in values education,how to empower students in meaning construction and how to collaborate with communities.
