语文课程工具属性研究述评与辩护

Review on Instrumental Attributes of Chinese Curriculum and Its Academic Defense

在长时期的对语文课程性质时而激烈或时而平缓的争辩与争执中,众多著名语文学者所主张的语文课程(学科)的工具属性论却始终屹立不倒,这绝非偶然。从"语文是工具"的性质判断,可推导出语文学科(课程)是工具性人文社会科学学科(课程)这一结论;从语文课程的根本目的任务来分析语文课程,可看出其应指向于学生听说读写等实际语文能力的形成与提高,其对语文形式方面的要求应是其根本目标与基本任务,亦可得出工具属性(语文形式)是其本质属性结论。在明确语文课程工具本质属性基础上,要认识与肯定其所具有的人文性、实践性、生活性等重要属性与基本特征。

It is no accident that the theory of instrumental attributes of Chinese curriculum advocated by many famous Chinese scholars has always stood firm in the long-term debate and controversy over the nature of Chinese courses, sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle. Judging from the nature of "Chinese is a tool", Chinese curriculum being an instrumental humanities and social sciences curriculum could be concluded. From the analysis of the basic purpose and task of Chinese curriculum, which points to the formation and improvement of students’ practical language skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, and aims to language form requirements, the instrumental attributes(Chinese forms) being their essential attributes can also be concluded. Naturally, on the basis of defining the essential attributes of Chinese curriculum instruments, their important attributes and basic characteristics, such as humanism, practicality and life should also be recognized and affirmed.
