我国化学学科的诞生与早期发展:历史经验及当下意义

The Emergence and Early Development of School Chemistry in China:Historical Experiences and Current Implications

我国的化学教育伴随着西学东渐之风而产生。清末教育体制的改革和科举制的废除使我国化学教育略具雏形,融贯中西的民国教育家们则不仅通过建制化使我国化学教育呈现出规模和完整框架,而且通过对化学(或科学)学科本质的领悟、对生活教育和实验教学的重视为化学教育注入了血脉和精髓。这为我国化学教育的健康发展奠定了良好的基础。

Chemistry education was born in the era when Western leanings came to China. The reform of educational system and the abolition of Imperial Examination System in late Qing Dynasty helped Chinese chemistry education have its initial form. The great educators in the Republic of China not only institutionalized Chinese chemistry education, but also promoted the understandings and practice of this cause. Their understandings of the nature of chemistry and emphases of life education and experimental teaching raised Chinese chemistry education into a new vision--＂ educational democracy＂, which lay keystone for the reform and development of current chemistry education in China.
