An Analysis of the Policy Texts of the New Curriculum in China's Ordinary High Schools From the Perspective of Policy Tools
Based on policy tool theory and using content analysis,this study quantitatively analyzed 14 policy documents closely related to the new curriculum for ordinary high schools that are issued at the national level from 2017 to 2021.This analy-sis was conducted from two structural dimensions of policy tool types and the content elements of new curriculum policy.The study has found that although the new curriculum policy system in ordinary high schools has been basically formed,there still ex-ist some problems in tool selection,like an imbalanced usage ratio and a strong reliance on authoritative tools,significant differ-ences in the content elements of the new policy and a low fit with policy tools,and institutional inertia in policy tools with choices based on habitual thinking.Therefore,in the future promotion of the new curriculum policy,it is necessary to build a collabora-tive mechanism for the use of policy tools,optimize the structural layout of the policy content elements,and establish a scientific and reasonable mechanism for selecting policy tools.
