Abstract

In the strategic context of building a comprehensive ecologically civilized society as envisaged by the Communist Party and State Government of China, Eco-civilization education would become a mandatory new mission of the higher educational institutions in China. Linking the constructive postmodernism and ecological Marxism theories to eco-civilization, the purpose of the present essay is to restructure the higher education system for realizing the eco-civilized society in China via the literature integration methodology, the findings are as follows: (1) the goal of instituting the educational system of Eco-civilization in Chinese universities and colleges is to facilitate the culturing ecological literacy of the graduates; (2) the implementation of Eco-civilization education will create the graduates’ awareness, impart their requisite knowledge, and motivate them to adopt practices that promote Eco-civilization; and (3) the triple transitions of the higher education institutions in China to deliver on their missions as implementers of Eco-civilization education. Firstly, they must roll-out pragmatic programs to enhance students’ Eco-civilization conscious through the teaching Eco-civilization concepts as part of ideological and political courses. Secondly, they could also deepen students’ Eco-civilization knowledge by adjusting the teaching content and pedagogy of ecology courses. Finally, they could facilitate the Eco-civilization process by reinforcing behavioral reforms required to drive sustainable Eco-civilization and help positions these students as devoted ambassadors of Eco-civilization after graduation.

重构高等院校课程，推动中国可持续生态文明建设

在中国共产党和国家政府全面建设生态文明社会的战略背景下，生态文明教育将成为中国高等院校义不容辞的新使命。本文将建设性后现代主义和生态学马克思主义理论与生态文明联系起来，旨在通过文献整合方法，重构我国实现生态文明社会的高等教育体系，研究结论如下：(1）在中国高等院校建立生态文明教育体系的目标是促进毕业生生态素养的培养；（2）生态文明教育的实施将使毕业生树立生态文明意识、传授生态文明知识、激励生态文明实践；（3）中国高等院校履行生态文明教育实施者使命的三重转型。首先，高校必须推出务实的方案，在思想政治课中讲授生态文明理念，增强学生的生态文明意识。其次，还可以通过调整生态课程的教学内容和教学方法，加深学生对生态文明的认识。最后，还可以通过加强行为改革来推动生态文明进程，促进生态文明的可持续发展，帮助这些学生在毕业后成为生态文明的忠实使者。
