摘要: 通识教育是英文“general education”的英译名,也有学者译为“普通教育”“一般教育”“通才教育”等。近些年,国内高校兴起了“通识教育热”,把通识教育当作提升教育质量的一个法宝,并提出了“厚基础,宽专业”的口号,试图培养“万金油式”的“通才”来胜任以后的工作,可是迄今为止,通识教育还没有一个公认的、规范性的表述。本论文通过中美通识教育的对比,分析其差异性,提出如何在教育基础平台上实施通识教育,进一步充实和完善通识教育的内容和内涵。

Abstract: General education, translated from the English term “general education”, has various interpretations in Chinese, including “ordinary education” and “liberal education”. Recently, Chinese universities have embraced a “general education fever”, viewing it as a strategy to enhance educational quality, with the slogan “thick foundation, wide specialty” aimed at nurturing versatile “generalists”. However, a universally accepted definition of general education remains elusive. This paper analyzes the differences between general education in China and the USA, exploring how to implement it effectively within educational frameworks to enrich its content and significance.
