Retrospect And Reflection Upon The Course And Teaching Reforming Experiment In Our Primary And Middle School Of The Past 20 Years (1979-1999)

Since Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, China has stepped into the new times of " reform and opening" and socialist modernization construction, And Chinese social culture has also begun to transfer from tradition to modern. In the meantime, the new technological revolution has been forging ahead within the whole world, knowledge economy society has begun to surface and the movements of international education reform have been surging. For this, our educational policy and guiding principle have been readjusted to carter to the needs of domestic and international situation. However, for some subjective and objective reasons, the malpractices which existed in the course and teaching in our primary and middle schools could not gear to these changes. It was just inspired by this. The primary and middle schools in our country launched the large-scale experiments of course and teaching reforming experiment from 1979 to 1999.In retrospect of the experimental course of the course and teaching reforming experiment in our primary and middle school, it can be roughly divided into two stages:The first stage started with Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party (in December of 1978). with breaking the yoke of "two estimates " as its precursor, We reflected the developing history of the education reforming experiment since the establishment of new China, resumed the course and teaching reforming experiment items which were forced to stop during the period of "cultural Revolution" , and opened up a new field and made new progress.The second stage started with the Fourteenth NationalCongress (in September of 1992). with the continuously furthering the social reform as a pivot, We reflected and summed up the experience and lessons from the course and teaching reforming experiment in our primary and middle schools, as to seek a course and teaching mode which suits the social development.The content of the course and teaching reforming experiment in our primary and middle school during the past 20 years centered on the three aspects, namely, course structure, teaching material, teaching method.Reflecting the problems, we can know that they centered on the following five sides:Experimental theory conception was poor; the experimental process was not so scientific; the evaluation of the experimental result was not so perfect; the outer experimental environment left some room to be improved; the development of experiment was imbalanced.In order to further and regulate the course and teaching reforming experiment in our primary and middle school, we should take "depending on man and promoting individual subjective development" as the everlasting theme, do the diversified research revolving round quality-oriented education, strengthen the study and instruction of the course and teaching reforming experimental theory, and fatherly improve the organizing and managing mechanism of the course and teaching reforming experiment.
