Cultivating Talents with the 21st Century Skills:The"New High School"Reform in Brazil

在全球化、信息化的变革时代,巴西将技能型人才培养作为国家的重要任务,而高中教育在技能型人才培养过程中发挥着关键作用。当前,巴西高中阶段的教育存在学生学业水平普遍偏低、人才培养与劳动力市场需求脱节、课程繁杂且缺乏吸引力等困境,不利于技能型人才的培养。为此,巴西临时政府于2016年提出实施全面的“新高中”改革,以培养21世纪技能型人才为主线,内容包括实施新课程改革、实施新教育评价体系、实施普职融通教育。巴西“新高中”改革体现出注重培养学生21世纪核心素养、创建灵活多元的课程体系、关注学生职业技能发展、开展“跨学科”与“大单元”课程教学等鲜明特征。

In the era of globalization and informatization,Brazil regards training skilled talents as an important task of the country.Undoubtedly,high school education plays a key role in the process of cultivating skilled talents.However,at present,the challenges of high school education in Brazil,such as low academic level of students,disconnection between school education and labor market demand,large number of unattractive compulsory courses are harmful of the cultivation of skilled talents.To this end,the Brazilian interim government gradually implemented a comprehensive"New high school"reform in 2016,focusing on training talents with 21st century skills,including the implementation of new curriculum reform,new education evaluation system and general-vocational integration education.The reform of New high school in Brazil reflects the distinctive features of focusing on cultivating students’core competence in the 21st century,creating a flexible and diversified curriculum system,paying attention to the development of students’vocational skills,and organizing"interdisciplinary"and"big unit"teaching.
