本土生命教育课程的核心内容和目标:基于15年文献的回顾

Key Aims and Contents of Life Education Courses in China's Mainland:A Review of 15 Years' Literature

生命教育在我国发展已有近二十年,但尚未形成可普及推广的课程体系,其主要原因在于本土生命教育课程缺乏核心内容和目标。基于过去十五年的文献回顾发现,本土生命教育课程在内容和目标上有三个核心要素,包括:一、现实生命的教育内容(身、心、社、物);二、超越生命的教育内容(信仰、道德、审美、死亡);三、生命教育的核心目标(丰富生命知识、体验生命情感、提升生命价值、培养生命能力)。可以借鉴这些核心要素进一步开展生命教育课程体系的构建和对传统课程的渗透。

Life education courses have been developed and applied in China's Mainland for nearly twenty years. Yet there still lacks consensus on the key aims and contents of those courses. Based on a review of 15 years＇ literature,we find three common themes of life education courses in China's Mainland：（ 1） education about real life,including＂body＂（ i. e.,physiological health）,＂mind＂（ i. e.,psychological health）,＂social＂（ i. e.,society）,and ＂nature＂（ i. e.,natural environment）;（ 2） education about life transcendence,including faith,ethics,aesthetics,and thanatology;（ 3） general aims of life education,including the development of children＇s life knowledge,emotions,values,and competency.Based on the three themes,we provide suggestions for future courses.
