ABSTRACT

To address the prevalent dread and apprehension toward classic educational masterpieces among normal university students under the impact of popular culture, this study systematically constructs a reading and teaching model for educational masterpieces based on the Guidance to Educational Masterpieces course offered by the author's college. The model specifically consists of: one core, namely establishing a correct mindset toward classic reading; two tenets, emphasizing direct dialogue with the text; two basic points, namely achieving historical contextualized understanding of the text by combining its social background and the author's life experience; and three consistent emphasized dimensions. Curriculum practice shows that this model helps guide students to break through the dilemmas of "being unable to finish reading" and "being unable to understand", deepen their comprehension of educational thoughts, and realize the dual improvement of theoretical consciousness and practical ability.
