An Interview-Based Study of the Factors Influencing the Quality of Professional Training of Science Education Graduates

The proposal of the strategy of developing the country through science education has clarified China’s demand for the development of the science and education industry and the cultivation of science and education talents,and the birth of Science Education majors is an important link in the cultivation of scientific literacy.Based on the grounded theory,we interviewed three Science Education graduates from a university and coded the interview data by using NVivo 12.0 to find eight important factors affecting their professional training and employment choices.The factors are“social factors,”“individual career choice factors,”“campus resources,”“employment advantages,”“professional self-development,”“teacher factors,”“planning for further education and employment,”and“student motivation.”This study analyzes the interaction between the influencing factors,constructs a theoretical model of the influencing factors of the quality of Science Education professional training,explores the problems of the training process of Science Education majors and employment dilemmas,and puts forward corresponding suggestions.

Youth and Science in the Developing Countries Perspective:Seeking A Balance

Timing is everything.Nowhere is it truer than in the current global climatic conditions.As rainfall patterns change and temperature levels increase dramatically, water shortages,particularly in developing nations, have reached record highs 20 years ahead of predictions and severe food shortage is the eventual result.Climate change may well exacerbate chronic hunger and malnutrition across much of

Research on the Transformation and Development of Universities under the Combination of Science and Education and the Combination of Production and Education

The research on the transformation and development of colleges and universities in China involves the connotation,causes,target orientation,content and conditions,problems encountered in the transformation and development.Therefore,the author studies the transformation and development of Universities under the integration of education,industry and education.The research shows that the development of integration of general vocational education is the basic feature of Applied Undergraduate education,the development of integration of industry and education is the basic way of Applied Undergraduate education,and the development of integration of science and education is the basic law of Applied Undergraduate education.Colleges and universities must grasp the transformational development path of integration of science and education,integration of production and education,and clarify the orientation of running schools for the local economic development and the development of disciplines to connect regional industries.

Overview of the Third Global Forum

Computer science continues to grow at a rapid pace,raising the issue of how universities can best adapt to this trend.At the third Global Forum on the Development of Computer Science(GFDCS),five heads of departments of computer science from Asia,Europe,and North America came together to exchange ideas under the theme Challenges and Opportunities of Computer Science in the New Era.Through the discussions,a number of new challenges were explored,including how to meet the growing demand for computer science education,how to manage increased teaching loads,how to foster collaboration between computer science and other disciplines,how to raise ethical awareness,and how to support new“transdisciplinary”modes of education and research.At the same time,there was a consensus on the need to strengthen the role of computer science in other departments,the importance of industrial collaboration,and the need for more scalable approaches to teaching.The evolving role of computer science within the context of broader science was also discussed.

Exploration and Consideration of the Development of Sino-foreign Cooperation of Higher Education——A Comparative Analysis Perspective Based on the Data of Municipal Universities of Wuhan, Hubei Province and China

With the tide of economic globalization and the practice of“One Belt and One Road”Initiative,Sino-foreign cooperation has gradually become one of the effective ways to improve the quality of higher education.This paper based on the statistics and analysis of the data released by the Ministry of Education’s foreign-related supervision information platform,combining with the actual investigation and research on the situation of Sino-foreign cooperation of higher education in municipal universities of Wuhan,has found that the Sino-foreign cooperation programs commonly have problems of non-standardized enrollment of students,insufficient quality of teachers and teaching qualities,and lack of core competitiveness.Therefore,it is essential to upgrade the level of foreign cooperative institutions and the standards of students’recruitment,optimize the curriculum,pay attention to the public welfare of education,improve the teaching model,improve the level of teachers,so as to truly realize the original intention of Sino-foreign cooperation in municipal universities of Wuhan.

Research on the Construction of Application-Oriented Undergraduate Data Science and Big Data Technology Courses

Popularising Chemistry in Secondary Schools through the development of Scientific and Technological Literacy for All

While chemistry is popular for children of primary school age, its popularity drops dramatically in secondary schools. A potential solution to address this is to recognise the need for greater relevance-relevance to the curriculum, to the needs of society and, in the eyes of the students. The paper tries to puts forward a rethink of the philosophy for school chemistry education, based on the underlying belief that chemistry education is an integral part of education. The target is labelled scientific and technological literacy for all (STL). STL rejects the notion that chemistry is taught solely to acquire the abilities to be a scientist and supports the vision of a single curriculum goal, applicable to all students. Besides being a philosophy, STL is also a teaching approach. This approach is to initiate the teaching of chemistry topics, starting from a carefully chosen society perspective and to introduce the conceptual learning on a need-to-know basis. A limitation is the professional development of teachers. Suggestion for overcoming this involve workshop on materials development. A concern is expressed in cases where teachers make use of ready-made teaching materials (a common practice), without first gaining an understanding and an appreciation of the intended philosophy related to these materials.

西部民族地区理科教育高质量发展面临的挑战与应对——基于文化生态理论的视角

推进民族地区教育高质量发展是“十四五”时期我国教育事业发展的客观要求。进入新时代,西部民族地区理科教育发展中面临着诸多挑战,如学生的国家通用语言文字能力依然较弱,理科教师的培养与补充机制还不健全,传统民族教育体系的局限性日益凸显,理科教育文化生态失衡等。为此,提出推进西部民族地区理科教育高质量发展的几项对策:全面提升学生的国家通用语言文字能力,充分发挥国家通用语言文字在理科学习中的基础作用;建立理科教师培养与补充的长效机制;全面推进国家统编理科教材的使用;改革民族地区复杂多样的高考招生模式,向以国家通用语言文字考试为主的高考模式过渡;促进智能教育与理科教育的深度融合;创新理科教学方式,激发学生的科学学习热情。

加强法治建设,为建设教育强国、科技强国、人才强国筑牢基石

教育、科技、人才是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的基础性、战略性支撑,统筹推进其一体化发展,基础在于加强法治建设。应立足中国实际,遵循法治规律,坚持顶层设计和法治实践相结合,聚焦党和国家的战略规划,针对实践中存在的问题、人民群众关切的重点问题,以及法律制度的空白点和冲突点,统筹推进教育、科技、人才三大领域的法治建设,具体措施为:统筹推进教育法治建设,优先加快教育立法;完善中国特色科技法律体系,以专项立法助力新兴技术的重点突破;夯实人才领域法治基石,营造以人为本、开放包容的人才发展环境。

区域职业教育与科创产业联动发展的内在逻辑、现实困境及应对策略

科创产业的跨界进阶,使智能机器成为有“智慧”的“能工巧匠”,替代人类劳动的形式日趋多样、边界日趋宽广,为强化人在技术逻辑层面的主体地位,预防大规模“技术性失业”,加快职业教育与科创产业的联动发展成为值得探讨的新路径。职业教育与科创产业联动发展主要表现为科技创新的技能化和技能升级的科技化,推动二者的联动发展,需要运用结构联动—功能联动—价值联动的系统思维,实施科技创新与技能升级双轮驱动,着力解决职业教育与科创产业目标错位、机制失衡、价值偏离的困境,全面促进区域职业教育整体布局与经济社会的和谐发展,这既是教育资源配置的理论问题,也是教育服务民生的实践问题。

人的哲学建构与新文科建设——基于博雅和通识教育与新文科建设贯通基础上的思考

新文科建设以当代科学技术发展导致的知识生产模式和思维模式的转变为背景,学科交叉是显见的新文科建设路径,同样重要的是通识教育的提速和推展。通识教育源于博雅教育,进而又衍生出整全教育,它们的思想理念源自古希腊至今的知识系统性与本原性,以及学习的独立性和批判性思考,强调对人的能力和认知方式的开放性开发,由此这构成了应对新文科建设所面临的知识复合性、交叉性等现实问题的基础性思维逻辑。从根本上看,教育是关于人的哲学的运用,建构理想的人的哲学也是新文科建设的题中之义。
