【摘要】 现代意义上的公民教育是社会近代化的产物。社会科课程是公民教育发展到一定阶段的结果。许多国家都把小学社会科视为基础教育阶段最重要的公民教育课程。目前我国在小学也开设了社会课程，不过对于社会课程与公民教育的研究还处于初级阶段，存在大量的理论和实践问题。 有鉴于此，本文意在全面论述国外小学社会科课程的公民教育理念，明确小学社会科的课程目标就是培养现代社会的合格公民；并在此基础上，对我国小学社会课程的建设提出一些自己的看法。 第一章“公民与公民教育”，从现代公民教育产生和发展的历史背景，说明社会科课程是公民教育发展到一定阶段的结果。之后选取美国、日本和中国三国社会科课程的开设与发展情况，具体说明各国的社会科课程随着社会的发展多有变化，但适应社会变革、培养合格的公民素质始终是社会科教育的核心任务。 第二章“国外小学社会科课程的定位”，主要运用美国、日本、加拿大和英国的社会科课程标准，集中阐释小学社会科课程的核心理念就是培养社会的合格公民。培养学生具有全球意识，热爱国家和民族的历史与文化，成为有文化、负责任、有行动能力的公民，是各国小学社会科课程的共同追求。 第三章“小学社会科课程的设计与公民教育的有效性”，从小学社会科的课程目标、教科书内容和学习指导方式这三个方面，全方位地论述社会科课程如何有效地进行公民教育，培养合格的公民素质。研究国外小学社会科课程的这些成熟经验，可以为我国小学社会课程的建设提供有益的思路。 第四章“我国小学社会课程的定位”，在阐明国外小学社会科是公民教育课程的基础上，说明我国小学社会课程也应该围绕公民教育的目标，为培养我国合格的公民服务。历史上我国小学社会课程已经积累了一些公民教育的有益经验，不过现在要切实有效地推进公民教育也面临着许多困惑。如何围绕公民教育目标健全我国小学的社会课程体系，值得认真研究。更多还原
