小学教育专业本科生脑科学素养调查研究

Survey on brain science literacy among primary education undergraduates

目的调查小学教育专业本科生的脑科学素养现状,提出促进脑科学素养构建的培养策略。方法基于4个脑科学素养模块(生活中的脑、环境中的脑、学习中的脑、发展中的脑)编制问卷,对632名小学教育专业本科生进行脑科学素养调查。结果小学教育专业本科生对脑科学的理解程度普遍偏低,对错误的神经神话的信仰率较高。脑科学素养基本陈述的正确率随着大学生教育年限的增加而提升;教育年限与不同脑科学素养模块间的交互效应显著;不同模块间的脑科学素养情况存在显著差异,生活中的脑模块的正确率最低。结论小学教育专业本科生的脑科学素养普遍偏低,对于日常生活中的脑科学知识最为欠缺。应将教育神经科学课程纳入专业课程的学习体系中,增加学生在日常学习和生活中对脑科学知识的理解与运用。

Objective To investigate the current status of brain science literacy among undergraduates majoring in primary education,and propose cultivation strategies to promote the construction of brain science literacy.Methods A questionnaire based on four brain science literacy modules(brain in life,brain in environment,brain in learning,and brain in development)was developed to survey 632 undergraduates majoring in primary education on brain science literacy.Results The undergraduates generally had a low level of understanding of brain science and a high rate of belief in neuromyths.The rate of correctness of basic brain science literacy statement increased with the number of years of undergraduate education.There was a significant interaction effect between years of education and different brain science literacy modules.There were significant differences among brain science literacy modules,with the lowest rate of correctness in the module of brain in life.Conclusion The brain science literacy of the undergraduates is generally low,and they are deficient in knowledge about brain science in daily life.Educational neuroscience courses should be incorporated into the learning system of professional courses to increase students’understanding and application of brain science knowledge to daily learning and life.
