Attempts in and Experiences of the Cultivation of Civic Literacy in Modern China (Contemporary Education and Culture; Vol. 11, No. 2) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Zhai Nan Corporate author: Northwest Normal University The educational reform in modern China takes place in a special context of strong impact of foreign ideas and deep-rooted local culture where the importance is attached to the cultivation of Chinese citizens’ civic literacy.

Through an analysis of the publications in the Republic China period, it is found that the scheme was permeated with a strong local awareness, and reflected the combination of the native moral consciousness and the modern western civic concept. This not only reflects the particularity of the cultivation of civic literacy in the period of social transformation in modern China, but also is of methodological significance to the localization of citizen education. 近代中国公民素养培育的本土化尝试及经验 (当代教育与文化; Vol. 11, No. 2) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Zhai Nan Corporate author: Northwest Normal University 近代中国的教育变革处在一个外来思想强烈冲击、而本土文化根深蒂固的特殊背景之下，对公民素养的重 视和培育就产生在这一背景下。在对公民的概念理解及其教育形式上体现了西方教育思想的影响，但在内容上并没有 放弃本国教育所背负的民族性和时代性。通过对民国时期相关文本的分析发现，当时提出的公民培养方案渗透着强烈 的本土意识，体现了本土道德意识与现代西方公民观念的交织。这既反映出了近代中国社会转型时期公民素养培育的 特殊性，又对公民教育的本土化提供了方法论上的意义。
