用法治理性建构校园和谐

建设校园和谐关系,以法治理性的价值判断和价值选择审视并优化校园环境,是坚持以人为本、以民主法治原则建设校园和谐关系的关键所在。以民主法治原则构建现代校园和谐关系是法治理性的基本要求;尊重人权是法治理性的真谛;校园和谐需要法治理性的宽容精神;法治理性包含对法制的敬畏和行使自由权利的节制;校园和谐关系呼唤体现法治理性的校园文化。学校教育通过尊重和保护青年学生的正当权利并使其自觉践行义务的过程,使他们长期浸润在崇尚法治的文化氛围里,培养并形成他们未来人生中自觉的、理性的遵纪守法和护法精神。

从“蓝本”到“文本”:当代课程内容观的转变

蓝本课程内容观强调作者或编写者的意图或原义;坚持作者或作品中心论,认为作品与读者之间是一种赐予和接受的关系;关注知识的逻辑性和规范性,强调教师按部就班地传授,注重学生的背诵、记忆和机械训练。在现实的教学实践中,蓝本观导致师生生存交往的丢失;教学变成了规训,逐渐失去生活的意义;课程知识与人的精神自由走向对立。随着新课程改革的深入推行和新教育理念的逐步确立,蓝本观必将让位于新课程内容观——文本。把课程内容定位于文本,不仅是新课程本质观的内在要求,而且文本也以其独特性对传统教学的蓝本观提出全方位的挑战。
