科学文化:儿童科学教育的灵魂

我国当前的科学教育严重地扼杀了儿童的好奇心,未能很好地培养儿童对科学文化的理解与接受。这一方面可以归因于我国传统文化本就缺乏科学文化的基因,而当初从西方引进科学教育时也忽视了科学文化的教育,另一方面受科学文化与人文文化对立观念的影响,我国科学教育一直重知识技能的传授而轻科学文化素养的培育。今后我国儿童科学教育应充分重视科学文化的宣传,才能真正促进国民科学素养的提高。     

论幼儿科学教育与艺术教育的整合

对幼儿的科学教育与艺术教育加以整合,可以使幼儿园课程符合幼儿整体性的学习特点。文章从目标、内容、实施、评价四个方面对如何整合幼儿科学教育与艺术教育进行了思考和探讨。在目标方面,以探究审美创造为科艺整合课程的总目标;在内容方面,学科知识渗透和主题活动融合为有效的课程内容整合路径;在实施方面,建议教师采用科艺综合活动的形式来呈现整合课程的新内容;在评价方面,教师应将目标取向评价与过程取向评价有机结合,形成综合全面的整合课程评价系统。     

音乐教育中的想象与科学创造

人类的发展和科技的进步都是想象辩证运动的产物。而音乐教育对人大脑的想象能力的开发作用是其它艺术门类所达不到的，音乐教育中想象实际融入了一种思想、一种理念、培养了一种创造素质，它缩短了科学想象与现实创造之间的距离，同时也结出了丰硕的成果。

“做中学”:作为儿童科学教育的一种形式

“做中学”既是一种教育理念,又是一种教育方法,同时也是一个教育过程。作为儿童科学教育的一种形式,它也体现着素质教育的目的和精神。“做中学”的教学流程有其鲜明的特色和基本模式。历经三年的“做中学”研究成果表明:“做中学”不仅能培养儿童的科学精神和动手能力,也能培养儿童的团队合作精神,是儿童科学启蒙教育的重要形式。     

Scientific Communication and the Nature of Science

Communication is an important part of scientific practice and, arguably, may be seen as constitutive to scientific knowledge. Yet, often scientific communication gets cursory treatment in science studies as well as in science education. In Nature of Science (NOS), for example, communication is rarely mentioned explicitly, even though, as will be argued in this paper, scientific communication could be treated as a central component of NOS. Like other forms of communication, scientific communication is socially and symbolically differentiated. Among other things, it encompasses technical language and grammar, lab communications, and peer reviews, all of which will be treated in this paper in an attempt to engage on an empirical and theoretical level with science as communication. Seeing science as a form of communicative action supplements the epistemological view of science that is standard to both NOS and the philosophy of science. Additions to the seven NOS aspects on Lederman’s (Handbook of research on science education. Lawrence Erlbaum, Mahwah, pp. 831–879, 2007) list are put forward as well as preliminary thoughts on the inclusion of scientific communication into NOS instruction.

The Nature of Science and Science Education: A Bibliography

Research on the nature of science and science education enjoys a longhistory, with its origins in Ernst Mach's work in the late nineteenthcentury and John Dewey's at the beginning of the twentieth century.As early as 1909 the Central Association for Science and MathematicsTeachers published an article – A Consideration of the Principles thatShould Determine the Courses in Biology in Secondary Schools – inSchool Science and Mathematics that reflected foundational concernsabout science and how school curricula should be informed by them. Sincethen a large body of literature has developed related to the teaching andlearning about nature of science – see, for example, the Lederman (1992)and Meichtry (1993) reviews cited below. As well there has been intensephilosophical, historical and philosophical debate about the nature of scienceitself, culminating in the much-publicised Science Wars of recent time. Thereferences listed here primarily focus on the empirical research related to thenature of science as an educational goal; along with a few influential philosophicalworks by such authors as Kuhn, Popper, Laudan, Lakatos, and others. Whilenot exhaustive, the list should prove useful to educators, and scholars in otherfields, interested in the nature of science and how its understanding can berealised as a goal of science instruction. The authors welcome correspondenceregarding omissions from the list, and on-going additions that can be made to it.

基础教育之本:保护和依托儿童学习的生命自然——兼评抑制频考文化的意义

基础教育的本质是社会需求条件下的人的自然学习的延伸和发展:学校基础教育阶段既是学生的成长期,也是儿童学习天性的更活跃期;学校基础教育阶段面对的社会基本因素其实是自然因素的新的表现形式;人的生命自然是教育中起支配作用的“大自然”;教育的要义在于顺自然而为,使儿童获得精神解放的启蒙,包含了精神的启蒙和文化的启蒙,因此,抑制频考成为今天基础教育保护和依托人的生命自然的关键。因为,频考管理方式以压抑和背离人的生命自然为代价,总考需要来自人的生命活动的真正的素质提升,基础教育管理的基本原则应是依托自然激扬生命。     

Social Competence of Learning Disabled Children: Cognitive and Emotional Aspects

The aim of the study was to investigate the structure of social competence among learning disabled children, as reported by themselves and their teachers, and the cognitive and emotional aspects that mediate its level. The sample consisted of 40 learning disabled children and 37 matched nondisabled children. Within Harter's competence model and Schaefer's spherical model, the learning disabled group demonstrated lower levels of competence and adjustment and a less mature concept of competence than did their peers. The social competence of the learning disabled children was accounted for by emotional and physical aspects of competence, similar to that found in younger and in children with an intellectual disability, whereas the social competence of the nondisabled peers was accounted for by a combination of academic, cognitive and self‐esteem aspects. Teachers rated the social competence of both groups of children as mediated by introversion and general competence. However, teachers added physical competence to the explanation of the learning disabled group's social competence, whereas they added task orientation to the explanation for the nondisabled group. Intervention planning should be geared toward increasing the social competence of LD children, through alerting teachers to their less mature self‐competence concept, with its special emphasis on nonacademic aspects.
