科学教科书的意识形态

Ideology of Science Textbooks

科学教科书的话语结构其实隐喻着“谁的知识最有价值”这一意识形态的问题,只是科学教科书的意识形态功能相对于人文社会科学来讲,更加隐蔽。科学教育作为一种社会事业,其教科书的编制与话语选择必然反映着它所处的社会和时代的主流意识形态。传统科学教科书中宣扬一种个人英雄主义的、实证主义的、归纳主义的、机械还原论的意识,这不利于学生良好科学素养的形成。

According to sociological studies on curricula, the inquiry about 'the most valuable knowledge' cannot completely reflect the social value of science curricula. As a matter of fact, the discourse structure of science textbooks implies the ideological question - 'Whose knowledge is the most valuable?' Compared with that of social science, the ideological function of science textbooks is comparatively more concealed. Since science education is a social cause, the compilation of textbooks and the selection of discourse must reflect the mainstream ideology of the corresponding society and times. This indicates that the ideological function born by textbooks should not be ignored in the introduction of science textbooks from the western countries, in the compilation of science textbooks and in the implementation of science curriculum.
