基于项目式学习理论的跨学科科普课程实践——以上海自然博物馆“发现上海·木偶奇缘”为例

The Practice of Interdisciplinary Science Popularization Curriculum Based on Project-BasedLearning:A Case Study of"Explore Shanghai:The Adventures of Puppets"in Shanghai Natural History Museum

以上海自然博物馆“发现上海·木偶奇缘”跨学科科普课程为例,探索在自然科学类博物馆中开展跨学科项目式学习的实践模式。课程以“运用海派木偶戏这一本土文化艺术载体创新呈现动物的捕食与防御策略”为驱动性问题,通过角色扮演、展区研学、剧本编创、设计制作、科学表演、效果评估等环节,实现对义务教育阶段科学、美术、语文等学科的整合,充分调动设计思维和创新思维,培养参与者的探究意识、团队协作精神,提高综合多种学科知识和技能解决问题的能力。

Interdisciplinary learning plays an important role in promoting subject integration,enhancing complex problem-solving skills,and developing studentcore competencies.While there is an active exploration of interdisciplinary learning in school education,museums,despite their natural advantages in organizing and implementing interdisciplinary learning,still face limitationsin educational practices.This study takes the interdisciplinary science popularization course"Explore Shanghai:The Adventures of Puppets"in Shanghai Natural History Museum as an example to explore the design pattern of implementing interdisciplinaryproject-basedlearning in natural science museums.The main focus of this course revolves around the driving question of"How can we creatively showcase the predatory and defensive strategies of animals by using Shanghai-style puppetry,a local cultural art form?".The course incorporates various activities,including role-playing,experiential learning within the museum,scriptwriting,design and production,scientific performances,and impact evaluation.By integrating arts and humanities in compulsory education along with sciences and language disciplines,this course aims to mobilize design thinking and innovative thought processes,cultivate a sense of inquiry and teamwork among participants,and enhance their ability to integrate multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills to solve problems.
