A Study of the Traditional Culture Education in France:Content,Policy,and Practice
In France,the traditional culture education mainly focuses on the education of principles and values of the Republic,as well as culture and arts education.On one hand,the education of republican principles and values is mainly realized through thematic,progressive and multidisciplinary moral and civic education,which is organized and implemented primarily by classroom teaching,supplemented by rich extracurricular activities and featured by competitive activities that drive learning and practice.In terms of teacher training,it focuses mainly on the formulation of a framework of competency standards based on national requirements,and gives equal importance to pre-service and in-service training.As for the support system for social collaboration,it is guided by the reference standards and guidelines set by the government,and supported by network resources and professional organizations.On the other hand,the culture and art education is implemented through art classes,supplemented by cultural and art activities and educational programs,in which the"Culture and Art Education Pathway"program is the main pathway in practice.In terms of teacher training,it focuses on combining pre-service training and continuous in-service professional training.With regards to its social collaboration support system,it is formed through the legislation,educational statutes,mechanisms for multi-institutional participation,and resource platforms.Based on our own national situation,it is suggested that to further promote the development of Chinese traditional culture education,the theme-oriented interdisciplinary collaborative teaching design should be developed from a systemic perspective.Furthermore,the multi-participant practices should be integrated into students'growth paths;and a learning community under a multi-support system should be built up.
