摘要

虽然在世界范围内进行的研究已经明确了世界观在公民教育中的重要性，但很少有人知道世界观是如何在公民课程中构建的。在这项研究中，我们采用比较历史的方法来研究中国的公民课程如何在国家从帝国转变为民族国家的过程中解释年轻公民的生命意义。这些数据来自于1902年至2020年间出版的210本教科书。调查结果表明，当公民和公民教育的理想扎根，推动中国社会的现代化时，所发生的趋势和变化。通过本研究，我们从人本主义的视角对丰富公民课程开发进行了理论探讨。

The meaning of life in China’s civics curriculum: A comparative historical study on worldview construction

Although research conducted worldwide has pinpointed the importance of the cultivation of worldviews in citizenship education, little is known of how worldviews are constructed in the civics curriculum. In this study, we adopted a comparative historical approach to examine how China’s civics curriculum has interpreted the meaning of life for young citizens during the transformation of the country from an empire into a nation-state. The data were drawn from 210 school textbooks published between 1902 and 2020. Four historical periods were delineated: the late Qing and Republican era, the Maoist era, the Deng Xiaoping era, and the current Xi Jinping administration. The findings demonstrated the trends and changes that took place while the ideal of citizenship and citizenship education took root, driving the modernisation of Chinese society. Through this study, we contribute to the theoretical discussions on enriching civics curriculum development from a humanist perspective.
