英国科学资本教学法的启示

The Revelations from the British Approach to Teaching Science Capital

科学资本教学法源自于布迪厄的“资本”理论,它是从科学资本构成的维度出发,旨在通过科学教育增加学生的科学资本,以提高学生从事科学相关职业的一种教学方法。科学资本教学法的基本主张包括:注重教学内容的个性化和本土化;加强教学过程中新旧知识的衔接;在教学实施中贯彻科学资本的八个维度;教学原则注重教学的实践性以及教学评价能激发学生的学习动机五个方面。通过介绍英国科学资本教学法,对我国现阶段注重学生的科学资本、培育学生的科学资本以及让科学资本融入学生的生活具有重要意义。

Derived from Bourdieu’s “capital” theory, the Science Capital Approach is a pedagogical approach that aims to increase students’ scientific capital through science education in order to improve their access to science-related careers. The basic propositions of the science capital approach include: personalisation and localisation of the content;strengthening the link between old and new knowledge in the teaching process;implementing the eight dimensions of science capital in teaching and learning;focusing on the practical aspects of teaching and learning;and motivating students to learn through assessment. Through the introduction of the British science capital teaching method, it is important for China to focus on students’ science capital at this stage, to cultivate students’ science capital and to integrate science capital into students’ lives.
