Place-based Education of Rural Schools in the United States:Goals,Contents and Strategies
The place-based education in American rural schools is a development strategy mainly aimed at education problems and other related social problems in rural areas.By reconstructing educational content and innovating educational paths,this strategy strives to help school education in these areas achieve a balance between the uniformity of standardized education,the particularity of local learning conditions and the differences in local development,and promote a positive interaction between students'personal development and national and local sustainable development.There are three main goals of place-based education,i.e.,improving students'academic achievement,promoting their participation in public life,and elevating their sense of place.The place-based education in American rural schools consists of two main components:the place-based adaptation of standardization education and the educational integration of local resources.They complement each other and embrace integration,and their boundaries are often blurred in curriculum implementation.In practice,place-based education involves establishing educational concept rooted in local community,to expand the educational space of village-school coupling development,to trigger students'active participation,and to carry out reflective educational evaluation.Place-based education has had a positive impact on rural education in America,which can be used as a reference for the reform of rural education in China.
