Strategies For The Use Of Traditional Chinese Material And Folk Culture In The Teaching Of History In High Schools

Social development cannot be separated from the inheritance of culture,and every break in the inheritance of excellent folk culture is a sadness of the times and a loss to humanity.In the process of the new round of curriculum reform,in order to realize the transformation of curriculum function and promote the balance and comprehensiveness of curriculum structure,the cultural construction of history learning is also paid more and more attention.From the surface structure,traditional material folk culture refers to tangible and physical folk matters including clothing,food,housing,transportation,agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry and fishery to meet people's basic survival and living needs;from the deep structure,it is a kind of unwritten,agreed-upon behavioral norms and cultural patterns,and gradually derived as a social form of group cultural markers.Nowadays,traditional material folk culture education is facing a "crisis of memory",and it is a question worth exploring how to effectively integrate traditional material folk culture into high school history learning.History is the reality of the past,and reality is also the history of the future.The integration of material folk culture into history classrooms has far-reaching implications for cultural heritage,history education and college entrance examinations.On this basis,the 2019 edition of the Chinese and Foreign History Outline series of textbooks is used as an example to systematically summarize the material folklore contained in textbooks and integrate other related educational resources to provide a basis for pushing the boundaries of high school history learning.The survey of some students and history teachers in five high schools in Yangzhou City shows that the reasons for the low integration of material folk culture in history learning are mainly focused on the following aspects:at the student level,students' lack of knowledge and participation in material folk culture;On the teachers'side,the problems of single teaching method and insufficient folklore knowledge are more prominent;on the campus environment level,there are fewer school-related folklore culture activities and school-based courses with local characteristics;on the family and social education side,the problems are that the depth of family education is not enough,the degree of national attention needs to be enhanced and the means of cultural propaganda needs to be innovated.In the face of the many problems of material folk culture in high school history learning,history teachers should uphold the principles of appropriateness,vernacular,systemic and dialectic in the implementation process according to the characteristics of material folk culture such as operability and practicality.In order to promote the integration of material folk culture into high school history teaching,teachers can fully mobilize learning enthusiasm,improve teachers' own material folk culture literacy,make reasonable use of various teaching methods,and build a teaching system integrating "school,family and social education".
