中国的经济地理学大学教材建设回顾及发展思考

Historical Review and Future Development of University Textbooks on Economic Geography in China

1926—2021年中国出版有53种经济地理学大学教材和教学参考书。1949—1978年除了特殊背景下的波折外,教材建设总体稳步发展;1979年之后,教材数量和质量均出现良好成长势头;21世纪以来,其成就更加突出。近百年教材的变化趋势表现为:从以介绍经济活动的空间格局为主到以经济地理学原理统领,从引入为主转为逐步增加中国特色研究成果,从不同知识汇集为主转向构建明晰的理论框架。当前经济地理学教材建设仍存在理论性较为薄弱、地理性不够突出、理论和应用结合不很密切等问题。未来教材建设应注重尽力突出中国特色、着力服务探究式教学、加强理论与实践关联和增强经济格局理论的地理性。

From 1926 to 2021,fifty-three university textbooks and teaching reference books of economic geography were published in China. Except for the abnormal situation of higher education under the special background from 1949 to 1978,the construction of teaching materials has developed steadily over the last 100 years. Since 1979,the quantity and quality of the textbooks have shown a good growth momentum;since the 21st century, its achievements have become more prominent. The changing trend of textbooks in the past 100 years can be summarized as follows: from mainly elaborating the spatial pattern of economic activities to being guided by the principles of theoretical economic geography;from the introduction of western knowledge to the gradual increase of research results with Chinese characteristics;from the collection of different knowledge to the construction of a clear theoretical framework. Currently, there are some problems in the economic geography textbooks,such as relatively weak theory,not enough geographical features,and not very close integration of theory and application. The next step in the improvement of university textbooks should focus on highlighting Chinese characteristics,emphasizing theoretical questions for inquiry teaching,strengthening the relationship between theory and practice,and enhancing the geographical nature of economic activities.
