以基础筑基础以拔尖育拔尖——上海交通大学培养中小学科学类教师的思考与实践

Basic Education for Excellence:Exploration of Innovative Training Model for K-12 School Science Teachers in Shanghai Jiao Tong University

改革开放以来,我国中小学科学教育体系建设取得了长足发展,但在新形势下仍存在高层次科学类教师数量不够、职业素养水平有待提升、培养体系有待完善等现实挑战。为主动适应中小学科学类教师队伍建设需求,教育部提出实施“国优计划”。该计划以优化教育结构,特别是强化科学教育为导向,发挥高水平综合性大学雄厚的科研实力和跨学科资源优势,培养情怀深厚、能力卓越、具备科学与工程素养的高质量科学类教师。上海交通大学始终关注科学教育,率先成立教育学院,不断探索科学类教师培养新模式,为我国科学类教师的创新性培养提供了实践经验。

Since the Chinese Economic Reform,China’s K-12 science education program has made notable progress.However,in the present landscape,several pressing challenges persist.These include a shortage of highly qualified science teachers,the imperative to enhance their professional competence,and the need for an improved training framework.To meet the needs of the professional development of science teachers in K12 schools,the Ministry of Education put forward the National Excellent K-12 Teachers Training Program(abbreviated as“National Excellence Program”),training high-quality future K-12 school teachers.The initiative is carefully designed to improve the education system,with a focus on enhancing science education.The“National Excellence Program”involves effectively utilizing the strong scientific research abilities and diverse interdisciplinary resources found in leading high-level comprehensive universities.It intends to train science teachers who will have strong passion in teaching,exceptional skills,and a solid grasp of science and technology.Responding to the imperative need,Shanghai Jiao Tong University established its own College of Education,consistently placing science education at the forefront and consistently pioneering innovative approaches to cultivate future science scholars.This article provided some valuable practical insights,serving as an important foundation for fostering innovative scientific and technological innovation talents in our country.
