Contemporary Thought Trends Of Chinese Language Education

Researching and understanding the evolution of contemporary thought trends of Chinese language education has important practical significance and academic value for exploring the evolution and development of contemporary Chinese language education, the basic characteristics and laws of Chinese language education and promating the development of education and reform. This thesis focuses on seizing all the characteristics of thought trends and compares the teaching, teaching content, teaching materials and so on. Combining the social background and the development of Chinese law, we believe that contemporary Chinese education has undergone three major thought trends. Each thought has its own characteristics and manifestations. The first stage is from building up a state to the last seventies of the twentieth centure. The ideological and political education occupied the dominant position in the Chinese language education. We call this "commanding of political thought". Teaching concept based on ideological and political mainly. Many current affairs text were crammed into the teaching materials. In addition, the prevalence of large critical in the teaching method also brought the devastating blow to Chinese language education. This stage, an important debate brought about a short spring to the Chinese language education of ideological and political-based. From the end of the eighties and the nineties, in the face of enormous scientific and technological strength and efficiency of language education, scientific rationalism occupied the Chinese education, and became the main stream of this phase.We call this "science's highlights". Main teaching concept was knowledge-based and put knowledge on the most prominent position. However, because of the one-sided understanding,it resulted in the abnormal development of the people. At the same time, over-pursuit the science, logic, order, and precise caused the hot pursuit to "standardization". People who lost personality has become a machine. Since the late nineties, on the one hand, we were impacted by the world trend of the humanities, on the other hand, we felt that the scientific supremacy brought us strong negative impact in education. A new round of curriculum reform pays more attention to Chinese students in cultivating the humanities. Calling for the return of "Humanistic Spirit" becomes the main thought trends. Because "the humanistic spirit" has rich connotations, we have many different understandings to it. This also cause two main teaching concepts "culture-based" and "parole-based". Although these two specific teaching philosophy have many differences, but in essence, the pursuit of both is the same. In teaching materials and teaching concept, "people" begin to be the most important. The humanity thought trend that is ongoing will bring us new energy. Maybe, putting culture-based and parole-based together perfectly is the trend of Chinese educational. This thesis respects to the history, and measures the wrong and right from specific context of history. The thesis uses comparation and literature,breaks single and linear thinking, uses multi-dimensional and systems to study.
