科学家群体参与科学教育改革的有益探索——基于中国科学社参与近代科学教育改革实践的考察

A Beneficial Exploration of Scientists’ Participation in Science Education:On the Participation of Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science in Modern Science Education

科学家群体是科学教育的天然同盟军,科学家群体如何参与科学教育改革是科学界和教育界都必须面对的问题。20世纪初,中国科学社的科学家社员们开展科学教育调查,全面了解、掌握科学教育现状;开设“科学教育”专栏,引发各界对科学教育的关注;编写科学教科书,提高科学课程建设水平;生产、推广科学实验仪器设备,完善科学教学资源建设;实施科学教师培训,促进科学教师队伍建设。中国科学社以多种形式参与近代科学课程教学改革的实践历程,可以为当前的“科教合作”,共同推进科学教育改革提供借鉴与参考。

Scientists are the natural allies of science education. How to participate in the reform of science education in primary and secondary schools is a problem that both scientific and educational circles must face. At the beginning of the 20 th century, scientists of the Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science comprehensively understood and mastered the current situation of science education through scientific investigation.They paid attention to science education by carrying out discussions on science education and improving the level of science curriculum construction by compiling science textbooks. The scientists improved the construction of science curriculum resources by producing and promoting scientific experimental instruments and equipment. They announced the construction of science teachers by implementing science teachers’ training. The practical process of the Chinese Association for the Advancement of Science participating in modern science curriculum teaching reform in various forms can provide a reference for today’s "science and education cooperation" and jointly promote science curriculum reform.
