苏格兰几乎与苏格兰“卓越课程”颁布同时,英国英格兰儿童、学校和家庭部网站上也公布了将于2011年实施的小学课程改革文件。据称,这是近20年来英格兰小学教育最大的一次变革。改革旨在减轻当前过于繁重的课程,给教师和学生更多自主空间,与信息通讯技术接轨,在课程中增加环境意识和全球意识,实现课程的现代化。 Scotland At the same time as Scotland’s “Certificate in Excellence” was promulgated, elementary school curriculum reform documents to be implemented in 2011 are also posted on the website of the Children, Schools and Families in England. Allegedly, this is the biggest change in primary education in England in nearly 20 years. The reforms aim at alleviating current over-burdensome curricula, providing more space for teachers and students, integrating with ICTs, increasing environmental awareness and global awareness in curricula, and modernizing curricula.
