对儿童科学教育的反思

科学技术对人类社会的影响日益深刻和广泛，如何提高国民的科学文化素养和创新能力就显得格外迫切。在此背景下科学教育的重要性日益彰显。而幼儿期是培养青少年一代科学素养的重要时期，幼儿科学教育作为科学教育的基础组成部分，其重要意义不言而喻。尽管幼儿的科学教育非常重要，尽管孩子非常喜欢科学，但这并不代表我们在幼儿园的科学课很成功。目前我国幼儿科学教育无论是在研究领域还是在实践领域都还是一个相对薄弱的环节。在如何理解科学教育的本质、科学教育如何实施等问题上，我们还需要深刻反思。

Reflections on Science Education for Pre-children

The profound and wide influence of science and technology on human society is on the increase. How to boost cultural and scientific quality and innovative capability has become especially urgent. In this context, the importance of science education is increasingly manifested. The childhood of the younger generation is an important period to develop scientific knowledge,the significance of children＇s science education, as an integral part of the foundation of science education, is self-evident. Although the children＇s science education is very important and the children love science, that does not mean we are very successful in science education in kindergarten. China＇s science education for children both in the field of research and practice in the area are still a relatively weak link. How to understand the nature of science education and how to implement science education requires deep reflections.
