媒体关注与公众批评——新中国成立初期教科书编纂的公众参与

The Attention and Criticism from Mass Media:Public Participation in Textbook Compilation in the Early Days of the People’s Republic of China

新中国成立初期,中小学教科书编审广受社会关注,新闻媒体刊发了很多公众批评文章,这促进了教科书的及时发行,使公众广泛参与教科书编审,强化了政治思想教育,但也影响了教科书的编纂方向。在正确处理政策认知、公众理解与学术研究的关系,明辨流俗认知与学理探讨的边界方面需要引起反思。

In the early days of the People’s Republic of China,the compilation and examination of textbooks for primary and secondary school attracted wide attention of the society.Critical articles published in the mass media at that time not only promoted the timely distribution of textbooks and attracted the public participation in textbook compilation,but also strengthened political and ideological education and influenced the development of textbooks.How to deal with the relationship between policy,public understanding and academic research,and distinguish the boundary between public opinion and academic viewpoint?These are still problems that need to be reconsidered.
