课程教学中的教材及教法创新与实践——以“民族政治学”课程为例

Innovation and Practice of Textbook & Teaching in National Politics Course

随着国内外对民族问题话题的关注,"民族政治学"在政治学专业传统课程教学中的重要性也日益凸现,面对当前"民族政治学"教材数量少、内容单一,以及在解释当前急剧变化的民族国家交往与冲突的现实政治上的理论滞后等问题,如何使"民族政治学"教学既能跟上时代需要,同时满足学生期望对国际间的移民问题、国际上的民族与宗教冲突以及各国内部的民族问题进行理论解析的知识渴求,笔者在近年的"民族政治学"本科和硕士生教学中尝试进行了教材内容和教学方法上的创新,将国内外关于民族政治研究的重要成果汇集并整理成教学内容,在研究方法上尝试将政治学理论与民族学、社会学、心理学内容相结合,使教学内容上涵盖国内民族研究和国际民族研究,在讨论和解释的理论工具上则体现多学科的交叉,最后以读书研讨的方式培养学生对问题分析的理论思维能力。

With more domestic and foreign concerns on the national problems focused, the importance of national politics com＇se in the traditional political course and teaching is increasingly protruding. The current situation shows that the textbooks about National politics are small in quantity, single in content, short of theory in interpreting the dramatic changes in the current national exchanges and political conflicts. Therefore, how to make the teaching of National Politics keeps breast with the times, and satisfy students＇ expectation to know the theoretical analysis of the problems of international migration, ethnic and religious conflicts as well as the domestic national problems has become a research focus. In recent years, the author has been trying to innovate the content of textbooks and teaching methods during the teaching of National Politics course and also has been collecting the important achievements of domestic and foreign studies on ethnic politics and arranging them into teaching contents. In research methods, the author has been attempting to combine political theory with ethnology, sociology, and psychology and to make the teaching contents cover domestic and foreign ethnic and international studies. What＇ more, the muhidisciplinary cross is used for the instruments of discussion and explanation. Finally, the means of readings and seminars is utihzed to train students＇ thinking ability to analyze problems.
