职前幼儿园教师科学本质观现状调查

Investigation of Pre-service Kindergarten Teachers’Conceptions of Nature of Science

本研究对262名本、专科职前幼儿园教师科学本质观进行调查,发现职前幼儿园教师科学本质观总体处于认识充分水平,但专科生与本科生存在显著差异。结合质性资料进一步分析发现,职前幼儿园教师在科学知识观、科学方法观、科学工作观、科学事业观等方面存在一定的认识模糊、“新”“旧”混杂、认识不完整和“知其然不知其所以然”的现象。研究者据此提出相关建议。

This study investigated the conceptions of nature of science of 262 pre-service kindergarten teachers with 3 and 4 years of college study,and found that their overall level is at sufficient level with significant difference between teachers with 3 years of college study and those with 4.Further analysis using qualitative literature reveals that pre-service teachers still have problems of vague conception,mixing"new"with"old",incomplete understanding,and"don't know why"in the aspects of science knowledge,scientific methods,scientific working methods,science careers.The researchers made relevant suggestions accordingly.
