ABSTRACT

From the 1970s to the 1990s, the curriculum field in the United States had undergone a profound revolution of curriculum "paradigm shift", from the traditional curriculum field centered on curriculum development to the contemporary curriculum field centered on curriculum understanding, and curriculum concepts and methodologies had experienced a comprehensive reconstruction. Chinese scholars launched their researches on curriculum understanding relatively late, most of which were based on foreign research results, while local theoretical researches on curriculum understanding is still insufficient. Sorting out curriculum understanding paradigms in China and abroad is not only a way to go back to the origin of the research, trace the roots and grasp the development vein of the research issues, but also a way to stand on the "shoulders of giants", look far ahead of the research issues, interpret theories from different perspectives, and explore innovations.
