论叙事在思想政治理论课教学中的作用

On the Function of Narrative in the Ideological and Political Education

在当前的高等教育下,思想政治理论课教学面临着很大的挑战,如何能够卓有成效地发挥理论课程应有的教学效果成为非常重要的问题。从性质而言,思政理论课定位于意识形态教育和德育课程,这两种性质虽然着眼点不同,但其目标都是要为受教育者提供某种应有的价值取向,提供一套既定的意义体系。而对于这种目标来说,通过讲故事的方式所进行的叙事教学,是一种较为有效的方式,可以弥补单纯宣讲理论带来的各种问题,但这种方式对教师的要求也非常高,因为它要求教师能够将价值融合进故事之中,并能够引导学生从故事中发现这些价值,这需要教师在实际教学活动中不断累积经验,才能慢慢掌握。

In present Chinese higher education, the ideological and political education is facing great challenge; as a result,it is very important to find an effective way for improving this kind of education. The nature of this education can be considered as ideological education and virtue education,whose targets are to provide certain values and meaning system to the educated. To achieve these targets,narrative education through telling stories can be a useful method,for it can avoid those problems brought by pure preaching. However,on the other side,this method will be difficult for a teacher to apply properly,for it requires that the teacher fuse some values into the stories,and guide students to recognize these values from the stories by themselves. Therefore,each teacher needs to accumulate their experiences continuously in practical education activities as to operate this teaching method skillfully.
