美國初等教育階段的經濟學教育─基於全美課標和主流教材的分析

Economic Education in Social Studies of Elementary Educa6on in America - Based on the Analysis of Curriculum Standards and Main Textbooks

在经济全球化和我国以经济建设为中心的基本国策背景下，从小开展经济学教育已得到人们的普通认同。《期望卓越：社合科全国课程标准》和《经济学内容自愿性全国标准》两个全美课程标准规定了美国初级阶段经济学教育的相关内容。美国哈特．米福林版社会科教材中经济学内容的编排体现出注重学科性、学科整合性和注重技能培养的特点，对我国社会科的经济学教育有一定借鉴意义。

In the background of the economic globalization and taking economic construction as central task for our national basic policy， it is recognized that starting economic education from early ages is important. Two American national curriculum standards ─Social studies expectations of Excellence-curriculum standards for Social studies and Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics， provide contents for economic education at elementary school level. The economic contents in social studies textbooks published by Houghton Mifflin focus on the nature of economics， integration between economics and other subjects and some skills preparation. These are meaningful to the economic education in social studies in our country.
