科学文化:儿童科学教育的灵魂

Scientific Culture: the Key of Children Science Education

我国当前的科学教育严重地扼杀了儿童的好奇心,未能很好地培养儿童对科学文化的理解与接受。这一方面可以归因于我国传统文化本就缺乏科学文化的基因,而当初从西方引进科学教育时也忽视了科学文化的教育,另一方面受科学文化与人文文化对立观念的影响,我国科学教育一直重知识技能的传授而轻科学文化素养的培育。今后我国儿童科学教育应充分重视科学文化的宣传,才能真正促进国民科学素养的提高。

Due to neglect scientific culture, our present science education have been stifling children＇s curiosity and full of force-fed duck in teaching. Chinese traditional culture is short of the gene of scientific culture, and when we introduced Western science education, we had also paid no attention to its scientific culture because of the conflict between scientific culture and human culture. Therefore, attaching importance to scientific culture in children science education should be the key approach for us to take to improve the national science education quality.
