【摘要】 本文在大量收集资料和调查研究的基础上，运用比较研究、文献研究以及调查研究的方法，对美国与我国的教育学硕士研究生的课程设置作了比较全面的比较和细致的分析。主要比较了课程设置目标、课程设置权利、课程设置原则、课程设置结构以及课程设置内容几个方面，认为中美两国在课程设置上的主要差别在于，由于两国的培养目标不同，使得美国的课程设置以社会为主要的价值取向，而我国以学科为主要的价值取向。本文总结了两国课程设置的共同趋势：国际化趋势和社会化趋势。文章还分析了两国在课程设置上各自的优缺点。对于美国而言，课程设置灵活、注重方法论课程和实践类课程的设置是其硕士阶段课程设置的优点。然而由于课程设置过于灵活也给自觉性不高的学生有可乘之机。我国在课程设置方面十分注重知识体系的完整性，对任何一门学科的课程设置都是从这一学科的知识体系出发来考虑的。这是相对美国课程设置而言的一个优点。我国课程设置的主要不足之处在于选修课种类和数量都不够丰富，课程内容过于陈旧以及课程的实践性不够强，教育学的课程设置中没有人文课程设置，是我国课程设置中的不足之处。更多还原

【Abstract】 On the base of a large volume of collected materials and documents and a detailed investigation, the thesis presents a comprehensive comparison and an exhaustive analysis of the postgraduate curriculum provision of education major in the United States and in China. The comparison scope includes goals, rights, principles, structures, and contents of curriculum provision. It is found in this thesis that the main difference between the curriculum provision in the United States and that in China is that the curriculum provision in the United States is society-oriented, while that in China is subject-oriented, due to their different education goals. The common trend of curriculum provision in these two countries is the same: internationalization and socialization. Furthermore, merits and drawbacks are compared in details. The curriculum provision in America has the merits of flexibility and concentration on the provision of courses on methodology and practice. However, the drawback is that high flexibility also causes inefficiency in those students with low self-control ability. As to the situation in China, a lot of attention is paid to the integrity of knowledge system in curriculum provision. Any course is provided in consideration of the knowledge system of this major. Compared to the curriculum provision in the United States, this is an advantage. The weak points of curriculum provision inChina are: (a) Choices and quantity of optional courses are rather limited; (b) Teaching materials are quite obsolete; (c) Courses with a focus on practice are not provided; and (d) The number of humanity in common basic courses is not enough.更多还原
