课程简介：

R.G. Collingwood, a British philosopher, suggested that history is an inquiry that helps us understand who we are by instructing us about what we have done. Prepedu tries to accomplish this by exposing students both to the interesting narratives that compose history and to the processes of discovering, understanding, interpreting, and explaining those narratives. These processes are catalysts for intellectual growth, for they broaden and enrich one's perception of human activity as they sharpen one's powers of analysis and communication. By extension, this course is designed for furthering our knowledge and appreciation of the nation's past, present, and future. We will collectively develop an understanding of social, political, economic, and cultural experiences that have played a crucial role in shaping the history of the nation. Students will work with complex primary source material, practice their presentation, debate, and writing skills.

英国哲学家科林伍德认为，历史是人类对自身的探究，它通过指导我们回顾以前所做过或经历过的事情来帮助了解我们究竟是谁。基于此目的，惠宜教育试图通过让学生接触构成历史的有趣叙事，发现、理解、解释这些叙事的过程来实现这一目标。历史的学习和探究，可以说是个体心智增长的催化剂，因为它拓宽和丰富了一个人对人类活动的认识，同时增强了他的分析和交流能力。推而广之，本历史课程也可加深我们对国家过去、现在和未来的了解。我们将加深对社会、政治、经济和文化经历的理解，以及这些因素在塑造国家历史方面发挥的至关重要的作用。学生将使用复杂的原始资料，练习他们的演讲、辩论和写作技巧。
