1. This course focuses on cultivating students' ability to analyze the development trends and characteristics of world history, and hopes to establish a set of historical interpretation concepts to construct historical context and evaluate the future direction of world history.
2. We hope to guide students to understand the development process of world civilization, think about its historical evolution, and look at history from the macro perspective of "big history", thereby cultivating a grand world view.
3. Train students’ ability to think independently and cultivate care for the humanistic world, so as to build an independent personality that is both rational and emotional.
4. Elucidate the formation of world history for students in the context of cross-historical, cross-cultural and cross-society methods.
5. Through guidance, students can be stimulated to think critically and be interested in exploring historical and cultural issues, so as to learn how to discover and solve problems.
Course content:
1. "The world" has evolved from the partial development of individual regions, countries, and civilizations to the interconnections and exchanges across the globe today. All of this has its own material, political, economic, ideological, as well as social and cultural context. This course explores the formation, change and development of the world from the origin of human civilization to the late Middle Ages, hoping to cultivate students' understanding of the main context of the development of this world.
2. The course will be conducted based on the basic knowledge of world history from the origin of human civilization to the late Middle Ages and the introduction and discussion of related articles in Chinese and English, supplemented by multimedia teaching, in-class discussions, tests, and report writing. Students are expected to read the designated reading materials in detail and search for relevant auxiliary background knowledge to build organizational and critical skills. Students can also sharpen each other and stimulate thinking in class discussions in a timely manner, so as to have a deeper understanding and mastery of world history knowledge.
