Religion in Chinese education: from denial to cooperation†     

Hirotaka Nanbu 《British Journal of Religious Education》2008,30(3):223-234

In China, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, it was thought that religion would disappear with the development of society and the freedom not to believe in religion was stressed. During the Cultural Revolution religion became the object of oppression. However, from the end of the Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s to date, the long‐term existence of religion came to be accepted. Searching for cooperation between socialism and religion, ways in which religion could effectively contribute to modernisation began to be put forward. In comparison with the previous situation, the current period is marked by a much more tolerant policy. If one looks at religion in education, first, at the level of legal codes, the separation of public education and religion is extolled based on the rule of separation of religion and state. And, it is clearly forbidden to engage in activities that use religion to interfere with educational activities. This applies to ethnic minorities as well. Second, be this as it may, religion is touched upon at all levels of education. For example, at the level of high school education, the distribution of the three major world religions is explained and many other religions are introduced. Moreover, the culture and customs of some religions are introduced. In higher education, in universities and graduate schools, the Religious Studies major has been created for the training of those in charge of regulating religions as well as scholars. Third, several of the religions recognised by the Chinese government have developed institutions to train personnel. Furthermore, some of these institutions are working in cooperation with institutions of higher education to offer programmes of study. In this way, especially following the end of the Cultural Revolution, cooperation between socialism and religion was sought. And, coexistence with ethnic minority groups, which believe in a number of different religions, was considered. And yet, within school education, the treatment of religion is strictly limited. Only education that aims at a basic knowledge of religion is conducted. There are significant national differences in the relationship between education and religion. It would be fruitful for China to reconsider this relationship, taking account of developments in other countries, in the present situation where the Chinese government has a more tolerant policy towards religion.  相似文献   

The interest of Bavarian primary school pupils in geographical topics and methods – selected results of an empirical survey     

Aline Lorenz  Anna Roth  Carolin Priese  Eva Peukert  Stefanie Mertel  Susanne Bloß 《Education 3-13》2017,45(5):543-557

Interest is a central learning prerequisite for teaching. The article deals with a survey among 1600 primary school pupils in forms 2, 3 and 4 (ages 7–10) in the German federal state of Bavaria who were interviewed on their interest in geographical topics and working methods. They were given a questionnaire including 40 items to indicate their individual interest on a five-point Likert scale. The results show that the subscale ‘natural disaster' generates the highest interest, followed by ‘phenomena of geoscience' and ‘people and peoples'. The interest in all three subscales decreases with increasing age. Furthermore, several gender-specific differences occur. Among the working methods, experimenting, films and computers hold the first three places whilst again showing significant differences concerning age group as well as gender.  相似文献

地理教材编写感悟     

韦志榕 《课程.教材.教法》2011,(2)

中小学地理教材的研究和编写工作是一项意义深远的伟大事业。可以说,人教版地理教材50年(1950~2000年)的建设史,就是新中国基础教育地理教材前50年的建设史。在这一探索和实践的过程中,作为教材的编写者有一些心得和感悟,主要包括以下四个方面。(1)中小学地理教材的编写工作,始终在国家的各种方针、政策,以及教育行政部门制定的课程计划和教学大纲的框架下进行。为国家教育培养目标服务,体现国家意志是基础教育教材特有的性质。(2)教材编写是建立在研究基础上的。研究团队的建设是教材编写的组织保证;地理科学和地理教学的理论和实践是我们编写教材的两个重要支撑。(3)教材编写是一个不断探索和完善的过程,注重实践,坚持学习是保证教材质量的关键。(4)教材编写是一个极具挑战的研究课题,每一版教材都是其中的一个阶段性成果,而这项课题的研究也将永远持续下去。  相似文献   

论大众媒介的全球性及其传播的异托邦与伊托邦   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

邵培仁  杨丽萍 《江西师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,44(2):60-64

全球化使得地方文化的构成更加复杂,社会流动性的增加导致多样的文化景观的出现。多元文化之间的流动与交融,经由媒介,正在重建＂巴别塔＂。从现实来看,资讯的发达使隔离状态瓦解,交流成为必然。在全球化进程中,媒介对于形成城市及城市文化的异托邦（heterotopia）与伊托邦（e-topia）,具有极其重要的作用。尤其是诸如网络之类的全球性媒介,更是打造了一个伊托邦之城。  相似文献   

舞动的古朴魅影,腾飞的自然文明——从文学地理学的角度解读《羽蛇》     

庄文泉  林敏钟 《绵阳师范学院学报》2011,30(12):65-69

作为一种新的文学研究方法,从文学地理学角度研究文学与从伦理学、政治学或者是宗教学的角度研究文学具有同等重要的意义。通过细读文本,从文学地理学中自然地理景观和民俗风情的视角来解读劳伦斯的作品《羽蛇》,可以发现:劳伦斯对自然的崇尚,对人与自然和谐关系的推崇,以及对西方基督教文明的公然反抗。他主张在思想上的求新和在精神上对自由的追求,并且主张在人民生活中去寻找自我。  相似文献

李亚楠 《科教文汇》2011,(30):72-73

初中地理的新教材中有丰富的图像,包括景观图、示意图、地图、统计图和分布图等等。这些图像具有形象直观、信息量大等优点。新课程标准中也明确指出,学生应该具备使用地理图表和地图的技能。因此,在初中地理教学中,应该充分地利用好教材中的图像,提高地理图像教学的质量和水平,从而增强学生的主体地位,优化课堂教学。本文主要介绍了初中地理图像教学的几种类型,阐述了在初中地理教学中进行图像教学的步骤,提出了初中地理图像教学应该注意的问题。  相似文献
