陶行知的科学教育思想与实践

Tao Xingzhi's Science Education Thought and Practice

新文化运动促进民主与科学思想在中华大地迅速传播,教育领域也兴起了一股科学教育思潮,陶行知是其中重要的推动者。陶行知认为科学教育是拯救民族危亡的根本,主张普及科学教育,提倡"科学下嫁",重视科学实验,强调"教学做合一",注重儿童科学教育。他进行了一系列科学教育实践,其中以重庆育才学校的实践最具成效,对当今中小学科学教育的革新具有重要的借鉴意义。

With the thought of democracy and science advocated by the 'New Culture Movement'quickly spreading in the land of China,a surge of scientific education thoughts also emerged in the field of education. In this movement,Tao Xingzhi is an important facilitator. In Tao's opinion,science education is fundamental to save the nation from peril. He advocates the popularization of science education to promote 'scientific marriage with common families',paying attention to scientific experiments,stressing 'the unification of teaching and doing' and focusing on children's science education. Tao conducted a series of scientific educational practice,among which,that of Chongqing Yucai school is the most effective. The thought and practice has an important reference for innovative science education in primary and secondary schools today.
