美国研究性学习教材分析及其对我国的启示——以教材“STEM Student Research Handbook”为例

Analysis of American Research-based Learning Textbook and Its Enlightenment to China——Taking the Text Book“STEM Student Research Handbook”as an Example

提升STEM教育质量,离不开STEM课程的创新设计。研究性学习与STEM课程的有机整合,逐步成为STEM课程建设的重要趋势。为挖掘研究性学习与STEM课程整合的内在逻辑,文章以美国“STEM Student Research Handbook”一书为分析对象,从教学内容、教学活动和教学评价三方面分析了该教材在指导学生STEM科学研究方面的特色,研究结果表明:该教材关注科学研究知识的系统性、强调以设计研究引导教学活动、借助信息技术提升研究效率、注重对学生多元学习证据的评价。基于此,文章从多元知识体系奠基、系统研究流程驱动、伴随性评价引导三个方面,论述了该教材对我国STEM课程建设的启示,以期为我国STEM课程的建设提供参考,并助推我国STEM课程与研究性学习的深度融合。

Improving the quality of STEM education is inseparable from the innovative design of STEM courses.The organic integration of research-based learning and STEM curriculum has gradually become an important direction of STEM curriculum construction.In order to explore the internal logic of the integration of research-based learning and STEM curriculum,this paper used the American“STEM Student Research Handbook”as the analysis object,and analyzed the characteristics of the handbook in guiding students in STEM scientific research from three aspects of teaching content,teaching activity and teaching assessment.The results showed that the handbook focused on the systematization of scientific research knowledge,emphasized the guidance of design-based research for teaching activities,improved the research efficiency with the help of information technology,and paid attention to the evaluation of students’multi-learning evidence in STEM.Based on the research conclusion,this paper discussed the enlightenment of the handbook to the construction of STEM curriculum in China from three aspects of multiple knowledge system foundation,systematic research process drive,associated assessment guidance”.The conclusions of this paper were helpful to improve the integration in depth of STEM curriculum and research-based learning in China,and provide a reference for the construction of STEM curriculum in China.
