论大学的科学史教育

On College Education of Scientific History

人文文化和科学文化是人类文化存在的两种形态。两种文化一开始并不是相互隔离的,而专业化的教育模式和对理性的过度崇拜造成了两种文化长期分裂。我国目前自高中起实施的文理分科教育和大学阶段的专业化教育,加深了两种文化之间的鸿沟,也成为制约当代大学生综合素质提高的重要因素。如何实现大学教育的文理沟通,科学史教育是一个重要途径。这是由科学史学科本身具有沟通科学和人文的性质所决定的。

Human culture and scientific culture are two forms of culture. The two cultures are not seperated at first. However, our country＇s current professional education pattern and excessive worship for rationality lead to their seperation. Moreover, present educational separation pattern of arts and science since high school education has widened the gap between them and so that it has limited comprehensive quality of contemporary college students. Then, how does it realize communication of arts and science at college stage？ The education of scientific history could be an important approach. This is because it is decided by inherent property of the discipline of scientific history.
