中国公民科学素养及其影响因素模型的构建与分析

Constructing and analysis of the model of how the factors affect the scientific literacy of Chinese citizens and a comparative investigation

以2010年中国公民科学素养调查数据为基础,利用验证性因子分析(CFA)抽取公民对科技的兴趣度、参与度和科技信息来源等因子,利用结构方程模型(SEM)构建中国公民科学素养及其影响因素模型,并进行模型的信度、效度检验,定量分析了教育、大众媒体、科普场馆和设施等因素对中国公民科学素养的影响。通过与美国学者构建的相应模型进行比较,分析不同社会语境公民科学素养的影响因素特点,给出有效提高中国公民科学素养水平的模式和途径。

This paper was based on data of China civic scientific literacy survey in 2010, using confirmatory factor analysis （CFA） to extract factors of interest（ public interests in S＆T）, engagement （public engagement of S＆T ） , information （the information sources of S＆T）. We built the model of civic scientific literacy and its impact factors of China via structural equation modeling （SEM） , which re- vealed the features of how these influential factors affected the Chinese citizens＇ scientific literacy. Reliability and validity of the model were also tested. A comparative analysis was made through the American researchers＇ similar study, it summarized different social con- texts in US and China results in different influentiaX factors which affected civic scientific literacy. It had made an attentive effort to im- prove the level of Chinese citizen＇ s scientific literacy and Chinese public understanding of science.
