The Research On The Implementation Situation And Countermeasure Of The Science Curriculum In China

Nowadays, with the rapidly development of science and technology, the whole world pays more attention to the setting-up of the integrated science curriculum because of amalgamation of different subjects, which is a new challenge to the curriculum reform of basic education. Under the spirit of "decision about deepening the educational reform and advancing quality-oriented education by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China," " decision about basic educational reform and development by the State Council's " and "the outline of basic education reform (trial) by the Ministry," the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has made " standard of science curriculum(trial)" in terms of the present condition of the basic education in our country after summarizing the experience of our country in scientific education and absorbing achievements of science education in recent years both at home and abroad. We also set up the experimental region, and begin to carry on the experiments in grade seven in middle school and three in primary school. At the beginning of science curriculum implementation, the experimental school will inevitably have many difficulties, and, with the deepening of reform, there will be more new problems. So we should take the right attitude to the reform of curriculum. This paper, through observing and analyzing of science curriculum implementation in different experimental districts, summarize the initial effects and analyzes the concrete problems in the course of implementation, then raises countermeasure to promote the curriculum implementation by consulting theory and experience of curriculum implementation domestic and abroad. This paper can not only advance the implementation of science curriculum but also offer references for the other experimental districts implementing science curriculum, and finally can try to structure the better theoretical system about science curriculum implementation.The first task I did is to define the integrated science curriculum and conclude the trend of international science curriculum by analyzing the historical materials of science curriculum. On the basis of analyzing the development of science curriculum, this paperconcludes that most countries focus on research in feedback and countermeasure of science implementation, but our country falls behind the others. So it puts forward the research subject, concluding initial effects of science curriculum implementation, finding the problems in them and taking relative countermeasures to the problems by observing the situation of the science implementation.After knowing the research scope and reference standard, the paper makes an observation as well as a research on the situation of science curriculum implementation. Questionnaires, classroom-watched, conversaziones, structural interview and documents-analysis are used to make an investigation into science curriculum implementation in the experimental regions of Yanta in Xi'an and Quwo county in Shanxi. In this process, we had collected questionnaires from 862 students and 132 teachers selected with random in the two experimental districts mentioned. We also listened 48 classes and conversed with 52 teachers, 34 headmasters, 72 students, 69 parents, combining the proceeding reports about it from other experimental regions for references. Therefore, the data collected for research are from two channels: quantitative ones and qualitative ones.By making a research on current situation of scientific implementation, we can conclude that not only effects but also common problems are found in the science curriculum implementation. The effects have showed as follows: I .The educator realizes the necessity of the science curriculum reform and the three-dimensional open system of science curriculum progressively; II . The teachers' science education conception is changing; III.The teachers and students have changed their teaching methods and learning methods; IV. The students are interested in the science course, their science literacy has b...
