麦格劳-希尔（英語：McGraw Hill）是一家美国教育出版公司，同时也是“三大”教育出版商之一，为pre-K教育（英语：Pre-kindergarten）至研究生教育提供定制化的教育内容、软件和服务[2][3]。该公司还为医疗、商业和工程专业提供参考资料和贸易出版物（英语：Trade magazine）。麦格劳-希尔教育在28个国家开展业务，在全球拥有5000多名员工，并以60多种语言向135个国家提供产品和服务。

麦格劳-希尔教育曾是麦格劳-希尔公司（后来更名为麦格劳-希尔金融，现为标普全球）的一个部门。2013年3月，阿波罗全球管理（英语：Apollo Global Management）以24亿美元现金将其收购[4][5][6][7][8]。

基于对课堂技术日益增长的需求，麦格劳-希尔开始在提供传统印刷产品的同时提供数字产品。随着人们越来越关注开发自适应学习系统，使课堂教学更接近一对一的师生互动，这种转变得以加速。这些系统允许个性化学习，评估每个学生的技能水平，并使用数据来确定每个人如何通过课程最有效地进步。麦格劳-希尔目前为1100多万用户提供数字产品和服务，涉及1500多种自适应产品，涵盖高等教育和主要K-12课程的数字格式。

历史[编辑]

麦格劳-希尔成立于1888年，当时公司的联合创始人詹姆斯·H·麦格劳（英语：James H. McGraw）收购了《美国铁路设备杂志》。他继续增加更多出版物，最终在1899年成立麦格劳出版公司。另一位联合创始人约翰·A·希尔（英语：John A. Hill）也出版了几本技术和贸易出版物，并于1902年成立希尔出版公司。

1909年，两人将各自的出版公司的图书部门合并为麦格劳-希尔图书公司，约翰·希尔担任总裁，詹姆斯·麦格劳担任副总裁。1917年，两家公司合并为麦格劳-希尔出版公司。[9]

1979年，麦格劳-希尔出版公司从维吉尼亚·威廉姆森（英语：Virginia Williamson）手中收购《字节（英语：Byte (magazine)）》杂志，维吉尼亚·威廉姆森随后成为麦格劳-希尔公司的副总裁。1986年，麦格劳-希尔收购竞争对手经济公司，后者是当时美国最大的教材出版商。此次收购使麦格劳-希尔成为美国最大的教育出版商[11]

1988年，麦格劳-希尔关闭贸易图书部门。

麦格劳-希尔出版公司于1995年更名为麦格劳-希尔公司。[12]

In 2020, the company became a distributor for Illustrative Mathematics.

Controversies[编辑]

In 1980, McGraw-Hill paid the African American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin a $200,000 advance for his unfinished book Remember This House, a memoir of his personal recollections of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.[48]。Following his death, the company sued his estate to recover the advance they had paid him for the unfinished book. The lawsuit was dropped by the company in 1990, citing a desire not to cause distress to Baldwin's family.

In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it published a caption in a geography textbook referring to American slaves as "workers".[49] The company quickly apologized, updated the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.[50] It has been linked to broader controversies about texts at the Texas Education Agency.[51]
