全球教育展望

美育是当前学校教育的重要内容，语文教科书插图是学校美育教学的重要资源。小学语文教科书插图具有双重审美价值，它是文学作品审美内涵的直观展现，也是绘画艺术的审美表征形式。小学语文教科书插图具有独特的美育功能，能够以美激趣、以美启学、以美促思、以美怡情。经过调研发现，部编版小学语文教科书插图呈现数量繁多、涵盖全面、形式美与内容美相统一、编排遵循学生身心发展规律的美育形态特质。为更好地将插图美育与小学语文教学相融合，使教科书插图的美育功能在实践中进行转化，应该提升小学语文教师对插图的审美认知，挖掘插图的美育价值，把握插图的审美特质，优化插图的教学方法，拓展审美化的语文学习空间，实现语文学科以美育人的目的。

Nowadays, aesthetic education constitutes an important aspect of school education, and illustrations in Chinese textbooks are important resources for aesthetic education in schools. The illustrations in primary school Chinese textbooks hold dual aesthetic values: they are a direct display of the aesthetic connotation of literary works; they are also a form of aesthetic representation of painting art. The illustrations in primary school Chinese textbooks have unique aesthetic education functions, which can stimulate interest, inspire learning, promote thinking, and satisfy emotions with beauty. Our research investigations revealed that the illustrations in primary school Chinese textbooks, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Education, present a variety of aesthetic education characteristics, including considerable quantity and comprehensive coverage, unison of structural and content beauty, and arrangement that follows the patterns of students' biological and psychological developments. In order to better integrate the aesthetic education of illustrations with primary school Chinese teaching, as well as to transform the aesthetic education function of textbook illustrations into practice, it is necessary to enhance the aesthetic cognition of illustrations among primary school Chinese teachers, explore the aesthetic value of illustrations, grasp the aesthetic characteristics of illustrations, optimize teaching of illustrations, expand the aesthetic learning space of the Chinese language, and achieve the goal of educating students with aesthetics in the Chinese language discipline.
