课程改革的困境与文化重建的迷茫

The Dilemma of Curriculum Reform and the Confusion of Reconstruction of the Culture

The premise of cultural study of curriculum reform is ＂the essence of curriculum reform is the reconstruction of culture＂， that is to say the establishment of the new culture and the disappearance of the old culture， which inevitably brings about cultural conflict. Cultural conflict is the root cause of the dilemma of curriculum reform. But there are differences in the academic circles about the conflict between what kinds of culture. The critics on the new curriculum believe that the concept of the new curriculum is out of touch with the Chinese tradition of educational culture. Proponents of the new curriculum believe that the concept of the new curriculum is nothing wrong， and the ossified school culture hinders the smooth implementation of the new curriculum reform. Both the critics and the proponents advocate the curriculum practice workers should have ＂cultural consciousness＂ and actively carry out the innovation of curriculum culture. However， the cultural studies of curriculum reform are not able to provide us with a clear answer to how to solve the curriculum cultural conflict. The reconstruction of curriculum culture faces with not only the loss of speech in the theory， but also the confusion of practice. The reconstruction of curriculum culture is difficult to be realized only by the cultural consciousness. From the cultural consciousness to the cultural reconstruction needs the mediations， among which is the good institution. The researchers of curriculum reform should pay more attention to the institution of curriculum reform which could form a new style of culture of school and ensure the scientific development of the curriculum reform.
