农业现代化背景下农村留守妇女科学素养提升探究

Rural Left-behind Women's Scientific Literacy Promotion under the Agricultural Modernization

依据美国学者米勒的公众科学素养指标体系并结合中国科学技术协会公民科学素养调查方法,对湖北省咸宁市留守妇女进行了抽样调查。调查结果显示,湖北省咸宁市具备基本科学素养的农村留守妇女比例低于全国平均水平;农村留守妇女获取科学信息的渠道比较单一,对现代信息传播工具认同度较低。信息获取能力不足、信息资源分配不均衡、信息服务性别敏感度低是造成农村留守妇女科学素养水平较低的重要原因。有必要通过提高政策性别敏感度、拓宽科技信息获取渠道、提高信息服务的针对性与有效性等方式,给予农村留守妇女必要的信息援助,改变其信息弱势地位,进而不断提升其科学素养水平,顺应当前农村劳动力女性化背景下农业现代化发展的现实诉求。
