论中小学科学教育的内容选择与表达方式——兼谈科学教育需要什么样的大概念

Content Selection and Expression of Science Education in Primary and Secondary Schools——What Kind of Big Scientific Concept Do We Need?

科学大概念教育已成为国际科学教育的大趋势,并成为科学教育内容选择与表达方式的时代选择。对国际科学教育会议成果、部分国家课程文件及科学教材的进一步比较发现,科学教育的内容选择与表达方式表现出各自不同的特点。反观我国中小学科学教育,不仅需要丰富和完善以科学大概念为核心的中小学科学教育内容,更需要依据其使用情境选择合适的表达方式,而加强相关的实证研究则有助于应对科学教育这一新的挑战。

Big scientific concept education has become a trend of international science education and an era choice of content selection and expression in science education.Further findings according to the comparison of the International Science Education Conference’s achievements,some national curriculum documents and scien.tific textbooks are obtained that the content selection and expression of science education show different character.istics.By contrast,Chinese science education in primary and secondary schools needs not only to enrich and im.prove its content with the big scientific concept as the core,but also to select appropriate content expression ac.cording to the context.Strengthening relevant empirical research can help to face new challenges of science educa.tion.
