A Study Of Li Jigu's Foreign History Of Senior High School

Li jigu(1895-1968)is a Chinese modern historian and history educator.He was born poor,but his hunger for knowledge was constant.The experience of studying abroad all the time has laid a solid foundation for him to learn history,and he has also accumulated some experience in history education by serving as a principal in a middle school and a teacher in a university.To death at the time of the social reality,Li Jigu believes that history education can raise the national consciousness of struggle and provoke home and the feelings of teenagers,so had he been ceaseless,not only to write a series of history books,also continuous written for teenagers to learn a foreign history of junior high school,the history of foreign high school history textbooks,such as for the history education in China has injected fresh blood.The foreign history of high school compiled by li jigu in1931 is an influential textbook in the Republic of China.It is compiled under the following background and basic conditions:first,the spread of western historiography and pedagogy in China.On the one hand,the "new history" advocated by Robinson and the "pragmatism" thought of Dewey have been widely spread in the history and education circles of our country,which has had an impact on the content selection of "foreign history of high school".Second,there has been a boom in the study of foreign history in China.This upsurge affected the field of education,and the compilation of foreign history textbooks became more and more urgent.Third,the national government strengthened the management of education.The provisional curriculum standards for foreign history of general subjects in senior middle schools promulgated in 1929 provided necessary standards for the compilation of foreign history of senior high schools.Li jigu's "foreign history of high school" adopts the style of chapter and chapter.According to the form of general history,it starts from the origin of the earth in ancient times and ends up in 1920 s and 1930 s.In the body of the earth's origin,the development of human beings were described in detail,and the development of both countries not only political,but also focus on cultural exchanges between countries,religion,thegeneration and propagation,the outbreak of war between nations,and carried on the thorough analysis of the cause of the war,and in combination with the present,detail is closely combined with the reality of modern history at the content,such as the empire between colonial rob since modern times,since the modern times of China's situation has carried on the thorough analysis,especially to has carried on the detailed discussion on the relationship between China and Japan,to seek the gap between the two countries,and inspire the people.In order to facilitate the description of the content and students' understanding,li jigu also adopted a variety of descriptive methods in compiling textbooks.Made a fine text directory,easy for students to find;Before discussing the history of one place and one place,it briefly summarizes the basic situation of the place and the general content of the discussion by means of synopsis.Inserted a large number of pictures,a wide variety,close to the text content;For complex problems that are difficult to understand,the editor USES annotation to highlight key points and solve difficult points.This textbook not only has carried on the system standard to the study content,but also has carried on the instruction to the student to studythe method,the structure is rigorous.This textbook has its unique advantages in language and content selection.In terms of language expression,there are both plain narration and humorous expression,and at the same time,there are strong accusations against the autocratic rulers and invaders,which can arouse the resonance of students to a large extent.But it should also be noted that there are some structural flaws in this textbook.For example,there are errors before and after the description of names in the textbook;In addition,the narration focuses on the politics of various countries,especially on the military history,which greatly reduces the narration of the cultural history and the history of science and technology.In addition,this book only narrates the historical facts of the world without corresponding exercises,which is obviously unfavorable to the learning of middle school students.As for the features and defects of this textbook,we should continue to carry forward and continue its features in the compilation of subsequent textbooks,and try our best to avoid its defects.For example,when compiling textbooks,we should make full use of the huge talent pool and attract more peoplerelated to history teaching to join the textbook compilation team.At the same time,textbook writers should be keen to capture the connection between history and reality,so that history can more reflect the reality and reflect people's life.In terms of language narration,students should also be more flexible and abandon the prescriptive and rigid,etc.,so as to stimulate students' interest in reading and compile history textbooks of the new era.
