The Reformation Of History Textbook In Senior High School And Teachers' Countermeasures

During the practice of the new turn of curriculum reform, the subject of history is faced with magnificent changes in textbooks, guidelines of teaching, approaches of teaching, etc., which draws wide spread attention from history educators and becomes a heated issue of discussion. One of the measures taken in this reform is that the history textbooks have evolved from introducing general history to special subjects in history, from introducing Chinese and foreign history respectively to putting Chinese and foreign history together. The arrangement of special subjects embodies the spirit of the interpretation of culture history and global history. The characteristics of political history, economic history and culture history are emphasized, which help solve the problems of overemphasizing revolution and struggle history and of the curriculum content's being complicated, difficult, obscure and outdated.This thesis sorts out and summarizes the recent discussion about the new history curricula and integrates them into the author's original knowledge and experience. Starting from the issue of the changes brought by the reform and how to react to the changes, the thesis analyses how to embody the time sequence and logic of the new textbooks, how to build connections between political history, economic history and culture history,what changes are needed to be done by history teachers in the reform. Due to the limits of the author's level of theory and practical experience, many issues of mentioned in the papers are still in need of future study.
