The European Journal of Science Education: Its Aims and Structure

Summaries

English

There are doubts as to whether minor, but nevertheless creative, curriculum projects and programmes in developing countries get a fair chance of being studied for their intrinsic value. Existing directories of science education curricula supply valuable information, but not always in sufficient detail. This is true especially for analysis of the curricula's content areas, the education approaches and the degree of integration. This article describes a co‐operative effort made to create a representative, international network of centres for integrated science education and an instrument to describe integrated science education programmes so that they can become availableto more potential users and adaptators. Some of the problems encountered in the development of the instrument are discussed. In the appendix the Integrated Science CurriculumInformation Form (ISCIF) is given in full. The authors suggest that ISCIF should be tested under varying conditions and that feedback shouldbe used to improvethe instrument further.

韩国海洋学科学实力探析——基于Web of Science数据

选取Web of Science数据库中韩国海洋学主题研究文献为研究样本,采用文献计量的方法,分别从各年文献量、来源期刊、机构、作者以及研究热点等方面进行统计分析,得出以下结论：韩国海洋学研究始于70年代初,90年代末迅速增长;国立首尔大学是韩国海洋学研究高产机构;对黄海等海域的探索是韩国海洋学研究关注的焦点。     

A Practical Application of Ocean Color Methodology to an Undergraduate Curriculum

Recently there have been newly launched ocean color satellites which target the coastlines at unprecedented scales. Science education curricula can benefit from the provision of small low-cost spectroradiometers and curriculum supplemental materials that can be incorporated in a “hands on” teaching approach to explain and demonstrate remote sensing reflectance principles. A lesson in which a progressive set of spectral measurements of familiar and unfamiliar objects and natural waters acquired by students using a small fiberoptic probe and spectroradiometer is presented. This lesson has a dual purpose. The first is to serve as a teaching supplement to high school science curricula while paralleling the National Science Education Standards (NSES) for NASA ocean color products, as well as other satellite ocean products such as GLI and MERIS. The second is to focus on the scientific goals of the graduate-school bound undergraduate student by providing a fundamental understanding of the principles of passive ocean color remote sensing that will perhaps nurture the interest of some students toward research involving utilization of NASA’s Earth science data products. We intend to have these spectroradiometers readily available for use by teachers in the Earth sciences through a publicly available technology library.     

海洋学课程教学理念的探索与研究

海洋学是海洋科学本科专业的核心基础课,课程内容广泛,国内涉及海洋科学的院校均有开设,根据各校的学术特色,形成了各异的课程内容体系和教学风格。文章以河北农业大学农学学科优势和发展定位,结合教学方式上采取海上观察和提问相结合、科研进入课堂、转变机械学习和课下翻转课堂等方式,以教学带动科研,以科研促进教学,不断探究更适合基础知识学习和科研创新思维培养的教学方式,促进海洋学院向研究型院校转变。     

学术期刊参与智库决策服务功能建设的可行路径——以海洋学期刊为例

【目的】针对当前中国海洋智库建设存在的问题,探讨海洋学期刊参与智库体系建设的可行路径,使其更好地发挥对智库服务体系的科学保障作用。【方法】通过资料汇总调研,分析当前中国海洋智库建设的现状和问题,总结学术期刊发挥智库服务功能的普遍做法,探究海洋学期刊主动参与智库服务功能建设的其他可行路径。【结果】当前中国海洋智库仍存在前瞻性、针对性不强,品牌特色不明显,多学科融合不足和资政意识薄弱等问题。海洋学期刊应在向政府、企业、社会输送知识资源、人才资源、品牌资源的基础上,通过以需求为导向主动选题策划,以论坛、专栏等形式搭建平台窗口,以优先出版等手段提升成果产出速度等方式积极参与到智库建设体系中。【结论】学术期刊应凭借多年办刊积累的信息优势,增大自身“扭矩”,主动吸引企业和政府的关注,聚焦重点议题,征集遴选出优秀成果,为政府、企业在增进科学认知、落实科技战略、提高经济效益等方面提供科学、权威的决策依据。     

3种国外海洋科学类SCI收录期刊的影响力提升策略研究

【目的】 探讨国外代表性期刊影响力提升策略,为国内海洋科学类SCI收录期刊的发展提供参考和借鉴。【方法】 根据国内海洋科学类SCI收录期刊的特点筛选出3种国外代表期刊,通过分析载文量、文章出版后2年内的被引频次、会议论文和专辑与影响因子间的关系,探究推动影响因子提升的关键因素。【结果】 期刊在发展早期采取“先质量、后数量”的发展策略,待影响因子有效提升后实现文章质量和数量同步增长。高质量会议论文和专辑可在短期内大幅提升期刊影响因子,而加强质量控制、减少零被引论文比例是稳定期刊水平的关键。【结论】 期刊发展策略的选择应充分考虑期刊特点及发展阶段。对我国海洋科学类SCI收录期刊而言,现阶段可适度控制载文量,增加高质量专辑的出版数量,快速提升期刊影响力,突破发展瓶颈。
