中学生科学技术形象的影响因素及改善方略探析

Middle School Students' Images of Science and Technology

中学生对科学技术印象的好坏对他们将来是否选择从事科学技术研究及相关事业有重要影响。结合国内外相关研究,我们指出:中学生的科学技术形象是许多外部因素影响的结果,其中教科书、教师和大众媒体为主要因素。改变教师对科学技术的刻板印象、开展各类让学生接触真实的"科学家"、"科学技术"的科技教育活动、完善大众媒体传播的科学技术形象,将有助于改变学生对科学技术的刻板印象,引导学生树立积极的科学技术形象。最后,我们认为改善中学生的科学技术形象是科技界和教育界共同的责任。

Middle school students' perception of science and technology has important influence on whether or not they would choose scientific and technological research or other related fields as their careers. Based on researches home and abroad, the authors point out that students' image of S&T results from many external factors, among which textbooks, teachers and mass media are of main service. It is conducive to transforming the stereotype concepts of students about science and technology and guiding them to build up the positive images of them to change teachers' stereotype concepts of S&T, conduct various kinds of scientific and technological activities in which students can better understand the 'real' scientists and S&T, and perfect the scientific and technological image spread by mass media. Finally the authors think that it is the duty both for the S&T circle and for the educational circle to improve middle school students' images of S&T.
