Between Gains and Losses:An Evaluation of the Regional Autonomy Management Model of Textbooks in Spain
Abstrat:Textbooks serve as a critical medium for students to acquire knowledge,develop cognitive skills,and establish values,thereby playing a crucial role in the national education system,school instruction,and the growth of students and teachers alike.This study employs theoretical analysis to systematically examine the implementation of policies related to the compilation,approval,publication,and selection of textbooks in Spain,with the aim of analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of its textbook management model and exploring the implications for reforming China's textbook policies.The research reveals that Spain's unique historical development has led to a high degree of regional autonomy in its textbook management,particularly in the areas of compilation,approval,publication,and selection.This regional autonomy has been effective in tailoring textbook content to local cultural needs;however,the absence of effective nationwide regulation has resulted in significant disparities in content,inconsistent quality,and a susceptibility of educational activities to commercial influences,thereby undermining the uniformity of educational content.Therefore,China should continue to treat textbooks as a matter of national sovereignty by maintaining a"national unified planning"approach while also enhancing the diversity of local textbooks and improving their adaptability to regional needs.Furthermore,it recommends strengthening market competition mechanisms while adhering to the principles of socialist textbook management with Chinese characteristics.
