一、问题的由来。 在当前,从“应试教育”转变为“素质教育”,代表着世界教育改革的趋势,也是21世纪的要求。然而,我国的中学教育在观念、办学模式、人才培养模式,以及教育评价标准等方面都已经形成了稳固的应试教育体系。它们之间环环相扣、紧密联系,要打破这种格局谈何容易。我们面临的现实是,单从哪一方面契入,都难以动摇它,特别是多年来形成的教学课程体系,它既是改革的难点又是改革的关键所在。按照素质教育的要求,针对改革的难点,结合我们传授《图书信息检索》课程的多年实践经验,我们认为,在中学开设《图书信息检索》课程有着重要的意义。特别是在开发学生的求知潜能,激发学习兴趣,提高自信心等方面都具有积极的 First, the origin of the problem. At present, the transition from “exam-oriented education” to “quality education” represents the trend of world education reform and is also a requirement of the 21st century. However, our country’s secondary education has formed a solid exam-oriented education system in terms of concepts, school-running models, talent-training models, and education evaluation standards. It is easy to break this pattern with interlocking and close links between them. The reality that we face is that it is difficult to shake it from any one side of it, especially the teaching curriculum system that has been formed over the years. It is both the difficulty of reform and the key to reform. In accordance with the requirements of quality education and in light of the difficulties in reform, combined with our many years of practical experience in teaching “Book Information Retrieval” courses, we believe that the establishment of a “Book Information Retrieval” course in secondary schools is of great significance. Especially in developing students’ knowledge potential, stimulating interest in learning and improving self-confidence, etc.
