中学历史教育应有什么样的地位 ,这不仅关系到广大中学历史教师的地位 ,更关系到历史教学在中学的发展前景。恢复高考制度以来 ,历史科是文科学生的必考科目 ,它在中学教育中的地位没有引起太多的异议。而自从近年高考推出“3 +Ｘ”考试以来 ,引发了“中学历史教育危机”的争论 The status of history education in middle schools should not only be related to the status of history teachers in middle schools, but also related to the development prospects of history teaching in secondary schools.
