Comparative Analysis on Environmental Awareness between Chinese and American Middle School Students: Based on the PISA2015 Science Literacy Test Results

本文以PISA2015中国和美国的测评数据为依据,对中国和美国参加测试学生在科学态度的环境意识维度上的表现情况进行比较分析。结果表明,中美中学生在环境意识整体水平上不存在显著差异,但对不同环境问题的了解程度存在差异。中美中学生在2015PISA测试中表现出的环境意识差异与两国科学课程标准内容有关。作为发展中的大国,我国中学科学教育还应进一步提高学生的环境意识、可持续发展意识及相关能力。

Based on the PISA2015 test results of China and the United States,this study makes a comparative analysis of the performance of the participating students in China and the United States on the environmental awareness dimension of scientific attitude.The results indicate that,while there is no significant difference in the overall level of environmental awareness between Chinese and American middle school students,there are differences in their understanding of different environmental issues,and that these differences can be attributed to the discrepancies in the science curriculum standards of the two countries.As a big developing country,China should on the one hand further enhance via science education middle school students＇ awareness of environmental issues and sustainable development issues,and make sustained efforts to improve their related abilities on the other.
