化学系统性思维的背景、应用与特征

The Background,Application and Characteristic of System Thinking in Chemistry

当今地球与社会系统所面临的可持续发展、气候变化、环境退化等全球性挑战问题,用还原主义方法不足以应对,需要化学教育等领域的工作者采用系统性思维方法。梳理了国外学者在应用化学系统性思维理解化学学科系统复杂性、化学学习系统层级性、化学教育系统整合性的研究进展。概述了化学系统性思维具有重视跨学科关联、整体综合思考目标系统问题、强调可持续发展的全球观念等特征。建议加强化学教育内外部系统的协作,注重各学段化学课程与教学的跨学科、系统性,重视学生解决化学问题的认识方式差异。

Today,there are some global challenges faced by the earth and social systems,such as sustainable development,climate change,environmental degradation and so on.It is necessary for workers in chemistry education and other fields to adopt system thinking methods,because it’s not enough to solve those challenges just by using reductionist methods.This paper reviews the research progress of foreign scholars in understanding the complexity of chemistry discipline system,the hierarchy of chemistry learning system and the integration of chemistry education system by using system thinking in chemistry(STC).The STC characteristics are summarized for attaching importance to interdisciplinarity,thinking comprehensively about the problem of target system,and emphasizing the concept of global sustainable development.It is suggested to strengthen the cooperation between internal and external systems of chemistry education,attach importance to the interdisciplinary and systematic chemistry courses and teaching in each section,and pay attention to the students’different cognitive modes to solve chemistry problems.
