显性途径的科学本质教学探索——以“太阳系”教学为例

Exploration into the Teaching of the Nature of Science in An Explicit Approach

义务教育阶段的科学教育目标是提高学生的科学素养,而理解科学本质是具备科学素养的一个重要特征。科学本质教学有显性与隐性两种取向。国外与台湾的学者研究表明：以显性途径的方式融入科学史和通过科学探究活动等,是帮助学生理解科学本质的有效方法之一。但是,在具体的教学实践中,我国绝大多数的科学教师很少关注和科学本质相关的教学问题。所以,如何在教学中帮助学生理解科学本质是科学教师应该探讨的一个问题。

The goal of compulsory education is to improve students＇ scientific literacy , and the understanding of the nature of science is an important feature of scientific literacy. There are two approaches to teach the nature of science, explicit approach and implicit approach. Foreign and Taiwan scholars＇ studies have showed that one of the effective methods to help students to understand the nature of science is explicit approach, which integrates scientific history and scientific inquiry. However, the vast majority of science teachers in our country pay little attention to the teaching issues about the nature of science. Therefore, science teachers should explore how to help students understand the nature of science in Practice.
