6.5 教学单元
6.5 Teaching units
每门学校课程科目都划分为若干教学单元,每个单元涵盖该科目中一个明确界定的部分,能够在最长八十三(83)天之内、即在一个课程期内作为一个单元学习。专家负责监督每个学习科目,以确定每个学期和每个学段所要学习的内容范围。同样,他们也监督将科目划分为与学生能力和年龄相适应的单元。科目单元依次递进,直至整个科目在三个学段中全部学完,无论这一顺序是由易到难,如数学和实验科学,还是由总体到细节和分支,如先知生平和伊斯兰历史等学科。 在数学等科学学科中,这些单元从计数系统和简单的加减法开始,然后进阶到乘法和除法;再到分数及其运算,随后是代数和方程。进入高年级阶段后,学生学习微分方程原理、积分学、高等数学等内容,直至所采用的整个数学课程在各学段全部学完。
Each school curriculum subject is divided into teaching units, with each unit covering a defined portion of the subject capable of study as one unit within a maximum period of eighty-three (83) days i.e. in one course. Experts supervise each study subject in order to draw and define (the portion of) the subject to be studied in each term and each school stage. Likewise, they supervise dividing the subject into units corresponding to student ability and age. Subject units graduate sequentially until the entire subject is covered in the three school stages whether this sequence is from the easier to the more complicated as in Mathematics and Empirical sciences, or from comprehensive to details and branches like as in the subjects of the Prophetic Seerah and Islamic History. In scientific subjects like Mathematics, these units commence with the system of counting and simple arithmetic like addition and subtraction, then graduating to multiplication and division; then fractions and their functions, followed by algebra and equations. Then, in advanced stages, the student studies the principles of differential equations and Integral Calculus, Higher Mathematics and so on until the entire adopted Mathematics curriculum is covered in the school stages.
这要求课程设计者根据学生年龄,为具体的教学单元进行设计,确保学科内容与学生年龄相适应,并将各阶段拟学习的学科划分为最多36个单元,每个单元编入一本书中,书上标明该单元将在第几学期学习。对于后期学习的学科,单元数可以少于36个,例如物理。举例来说,科学分支中的化学由12个单元组成;学生可以在科学分支学段的第25学期开始学习第一单元,并一直推进到第36学期;而普通知识学科同样由12个单元组成,可以从第13学期开始,到第24学期结束。
This requires the curriculum designer for specific teaching units to ensure that the subject conforms to student age, and to divide the subject intended for study in all stages into a maximum of 36 units, each unit in a book bearing the number of the course it will be studied in. The number of teaching units could be less than 36 for the subjects taught in later term e.g. physics. For instance, chemistry in the scientific branch is composed of 12 units; the students may commence the first unit in the 25th term and move onwards until the 36th term of the scientific branch of the school stage, whereas the general knowledge subject which is composed of 12 units, can commence in the 13th term and end in the 24th term.
本书标注了单元编号以及学员需要学习的课程编号。因此,例如在第25学期,学员学习数学第25/25单元、原则(qawa’id)第13/25单元、常识第12/25单元、修辞学(Balagha)第6/25单元,依此类推。
The book bears the unit number as well as the course number to be studied in. So in the 25th term, for instance, the student studies Mathematics unit 25/25, Principles (qawa’id) unit 13/25, General Knowledge 12/25, Eloquence (Balagha) unit 6/25 etc.
