“中国近现代史纲要”实践教学的一条重要途径就是指导学生参与社会调查研究。在拟定调研课题时,应遵循突出思想政治教育的导向性、体现历史科学的学术性、激发学生兴趣的针对性和便于调研的可操作性等原则。根据这些原则,结合课堂教学的相关内容,结合社会的热点、难点问题,拟定出一系列调研课题,供学生选择,以进行调研。调研工作大致包括准备阶段、实施阶段、总结阶段和考核阶段等四个步骤。 An Important Way to Practice Teaching in Outline of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History is to guide students to participate in social investigation and research. In formulating research topics, we should follow the principle of highlighting ideological and political education, reflecting the academic nature of history science, pertinence of stimulating students’ interest, and feasibility of research. According to these principles, combined with the relevant content of classroom teaching, combined with the hot and difficult issues in the society, a series of research topics are formulated for students to choose for their research.
