中國歷來是一個重視歷史教育的國度，強調史學的「殷鑒」作用。 可以說，歷史課程在二十一世紀仍為一個重要的教學內容，其中「鄉土 教學」是為關注的話題之一。「鄉土教學」是以地域為範圍，記述該區 域內歷史人物和歷史事件的圖書、鄉土性史料、史跡。其作用是：補充 中學歷史教科書之不足；敦教學生的歷史文化的自豪感；激發歷史思 維，培養學習興趣。就目前現狀看，我們在中學歷史鄉土教學實踐中， 仍然有諸多問題需要克服。解決問題的途徑在於：把鄉土歷史教材運用 於教學實踐中，以此來彰顯它的獨特魅力，由此把學生熱愛家鄉與熱愛 國家密切地聯繋起來。

China has always been a nation that pays much attention to the history education, and history education is an important part of the teaching of history in the 21st century, in which native education is one of the concerning topics. Native education focus on different regions by recording and describing the historical figures and historical events within each specific region. Its function is to supplement the inadequacy of history textbooks in middle school, cultivate students’ sense of pride toward history and culture, stimulate historical thinking, and cultivate the interest of history learning. However, we still have so many obstacles in the prosecution of native education in the middle school. It is much more important that we should use the textbook of native education into the practice of teaching, so as to show its unique charm and associate the students1 love of hometown with patriotism.
