Is Chinese education important? What will be the future development prospects of our Chinese studies education? This series of questions are all worthy of serious consideration by everyone. The following is the development prospect of Chinese studies education that I bring to you. I hope it can help you!
The rise of private schools now is also due to parents being disappointed with education within the current system and turning to education outside the system. However, some parents also have a kind of blind obedience, thinking that after learning Chinese studies, everything will be fine for their children. I don’t know, but the current full-time private schools that read the Bible aloud throughout the day are not consistent with our traditional private school teaching model. Chinese studies education and research is a traditional theme, but it is also a brand-new undertaking.
Chinese traditional culture education is the carrier of the inheritance of Chinese knowledge systems from past dynasties
The reason why Chinese traditional culture is inherent and traditional is that it always carries the spiritual blood of the Chinese nation and is an integral part of traditional culture and academics. It is a highly condensed and concentrated expression: as a study of the soul of the country, it is a collection of Chinese cultural values ??and a display of the basic spirit of the Chinese nation; as a discipline of study, it is the carrier of the inheritance of Chinese knowledge systems of past dynasties and the object of research on Chinese classical academic culture. . Borrowing the words of "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Respecting virtue and pursuing learning, reaching the broad yet exhausting the subtle, being extremely wise while pursuing the Doctrine of the Mean" is the essence of Chinese studies.
However, in a sense, Chinese culture education is a completely new undertaking. As we all know, since modern times, the nature of Chinese studies has been artificially distorted, the value of Chinese studies has been artificially devalued, and the status of Chinese studies has been artificially obliterated. As a result, the history of Chinese studies education and research has suffered a blunt separation. This has led to the lack of contemporary humanistic education and the lack of foundation for new personality cultivation. Therefore, reassessing the value of Chinese studies, promoting Chinese studies education, and conducting Chinese studies research in the new era are obviously new undertakings.
Colleges and universities play a leading role in Chinese studies education in the new era
The achievements of Chinese studies education in recent years are mainly reflected in the following aspects.
First, Chinese studies education institutions have been established in colleges and universities across the country, and Chinese studies education is in the ascendant and has become a great phenomenon. According to incomplete statistics, more than 20 colleges and universities have established Chinese studies colleges and Chinese studies research institutes, including institutions named after the Institute of Advanced Confucian Studies and academies, etc., with Chinese studies education and research as the main body, and there is a trend of further increase.
Second, the connotation of Chinese studies education has been substantially enriched and concreted. Including the establishment of teaching system, innovation of teaching methods, planning of Chinese studies curriculum, formation of teaching staff, construction of basic teaching materials, implementation of teaching evaluation, etc. Each school’s Chinese studies academy has established an effective Chinese studies teaching system based on its own conditions and characteristics, and has accumulated a lot of experience.
Third, the concept and purpose of Chinese studies education are increasingly clear and deepened. For example, the School of Chinese Studies at Renmin University of China advocates the educational and research purpose of "Greater Chinese Studies, New Chinese Studies", which has opened up a direction for Chinese studies education in the new era. It has generated a warm response at home and abroad and has been widely praised; there are also some Chinese colleges in universities focus on the teaching and research of traditional Chinese studies and have gradually formed their own characteristics. This not only promotes the overall advancement of Chinese studies education, but also plays a role in learning from each other and complementing each other.
Fourth, certain progress has been made in the institutionalization of Chinese studies education and research. Taking the School of Chinese Studies at Renmin University of China as an example, it has been listed as an experimental base for cultivating innovative talents by the Ministry of Education. The Chinese Studies major has become the fifth batch of national undergraduate specialty majors. It also has doctoral and master's degree programs in Chinese Studies independently established by the school. To a certain extent, this has created the necessary institutional environment and conditions for Chinese studies education in the new era from the perspective of system construction.
Fifth, the significance of Chinese studies education is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all kinds of arguments questioning Chinese studies education are decreasing day by day. At the beginning of the launch of Chinese studies education, various public opinions that doubted and denied Chinese studies education, such as "theories that Chinese studies are useless," "theories that Chinese studies are outdated," "theories that Chinese studies are backward," etc., were once rampant.
To this day, although these arguments against Chinese studies have not disappeared, it is obvious that their market has become increasingly narrow and it is difficult for them to cause too much interference to the education of Chinese studies.
