走向生活——《民俗学概论》教学研究

Getting Close to Life:Teaching and Research of“Introduction to Folklore Studies”

民俗文化具有"民俗"与"生活"双重特征,"生活"是民俗之源,民俗学教学离不开生活中的民俗文化。针对《民俗学概论》课程在本科教学过程中与生活实践有所脱离的现状及由此产生的其他问题,提出"走向生活"是《民俗学概论》课程教学的必然趋势、特色和方向,是提高学生民俗理论知识、正确解读民俗事象、增强民俗鉴别能力的重要渠道。应根据民俗学学科特点,贯彻"走向生活"的教学理念,通过互动式的教学模式、现代化教学手段、田野作业等方法,使教学内容和教学过程贴近、融入和反映生活,以此实现对《民俗学概论》课程教学较系统全面的改革和创新。基于"舌尖上的家乡"特色民俗专题的教改情况,为"走向生活"的《民俗学概论》教学改革提供一个生动的案例。
