留学生“中国概况”课程建设刍议

On curriculum construction of A Survey of China forinternational students

“中国概况”是来华留学学历生的必修课程,在培养知华、友华、爱华中高端人才的来华留学生教育工作中发挥着重要作用。针对现阶段课程建设在教学内容、方法和手段、实践活动及评价方式等方面存在的问题,以多元文化教育理论为理念支撑及以“文化体验”学习理论为行动指南,提出了解决问题的思路并进行了教学案例展示:一是以传递核心“价值观”为主线的教学内容的建构,二是以培养“能力”为宗旨的教学方法的改革,三是以文化体验为导向的教学手段和实践活动的改革,四是以学生为主体,“评、教、学”融合的形成性评价体系改革。三轮教学实践结果表明教学效果良好。这对学界同人的课程建设与改革具有一定的借鉴与参考意义。

A Survey of China is a compulsory course for international students studying in China,and plays an important role in training high-end talents who know China,befriend China and love China.In response to the existing problems in teaching contents,approaches and means,practical activities and assessment methods,some solutions were put forward together with a teaching case presented,based on the multi-cultural education theory and guided by the cultural experience learning theory:first,to construct teaching contents with conveying Chinese core“values”as the main line;second,to reform teaching approaches with cultivating learners'“ability”as the aim;third,to reform teaching means and practical activities with cultural experience as the orientation;fourth,to reform a formative assessment system integrating“evaluation,teaching and learning”with students as the center.Three rounds of teaching practice have achieved satisfying teaching results.It is hoped that this study could provide some reference for the curriculum's further construction and reform.
