摘要
历史思维不仅对学好历史至关重要的,它也是日常生活中必备的一种能力。
然而,和美国相比,中国对历史思维的培养还不够充分。
因此,中国可以通过借鉴美国的经验来改善现状。
此文采用文献比较的方法来分析中美在历史思维培养方面的差距,并且从课程目标,课程开设和教学手段三个方面逐一比较。
在课程目标方面,美国课程国家标准明确解释了历史思维的定义,并且清晰的规定不同年级应具有的能力水平。
然而,中国自从新课标改革才逐步重视历史思维,但仍然没有具体的计划来指导教学。
在课程开设方面,中国和美国一样实行学分制,但美国中学历史在社会科中占据核心地位。
在教学手段方面,美国采取探索式教学,注重操作过程和独立思考。
中国重要采取讲授式教学,老师是课堂的核心。
老师和学生的交流应当在深度和广度上增加。
通过比较,发现中美在历史思维的培养上的差距很明显,表现在:
美国更加重视能力的培养;美国采取多种多样的教学手段来锻炼学生的能力;美国的重能力的考试系统影响着教学手段。
总而言之,中国可以吸取美国先进的教学方法,比如:
采用多样的课堂形式;指导学生多看课外书;传授科学的思维方法等。
