General Education Reform of the Ohio State University:Background,Feature and Revelation

通识教育之“通”,代表一种“整合”,“识”代表一种“专业”。通识教育的目的是为了把学生培养成完整的人和负责任的公民。通识教育作为人的个体性和社会性的发展的统合,改革是通识教育发展的永恒主题。我国高校面临培养符合时代需求人才的形势,可以借鉴国外大学的通识教育改革经验。源于对本科教育的坚守,俄亥俄州立大学在2017—2018年开展了新一轮通识教育课程改革,本轮改革强化课程目标的“政治属性”和“公共属性”,课程模块统合“个体性”和“社会性”,课程体系达成“统整性”和“多样性”,课程管理强调“科学性”和“参与度”,对当前我国大学的通识教育体系构建具有一定的借鉴意义。
