The Hundred Years History Of Science Popularization Of Geology In China

As an important component of the Science popularization, the Science popularization of Geology went through a history over 100 years. From translate a few of Geology Science popularization reading to lots of readings ,from a few of intellectuals to the participate jointly of all levels of Science and technology association,Geological society of china and related corporations , the Science popularization of Geology have achieved tremendous successes.This thesis through summarize the background,content,methods,characteristic of the Science popularization of Geology among four stages, expound its history, and put forward some suggestions . Stage One ( late Qing Dynasty ): some forward-looking intellectuals begins popularized the Geology, but owing to the limit of all conditions, the object of popularization were confined student and intellectuals, and"pragmatism"was set as the guiding thought for the Science popularization of Geology. Stage two( 1912-1949 ): The National Government sets a high value on"populareducation", and this time china have its own geologist, the Geology Science developed rapidly, especially the foundation of Geological society of china, popularized the Geology Science to the common people, and modern multimedia techniques were introduced, at the same time, the workers of Science popularization begins placed more emphasis on the academic ideas . Stage three(1949-1978) :the Science popularization of Geology focus on mine Area and related department, Science popularization combined with productive practice, and Remarkable achievements were made in infrastructure development. But on account of the economically backward, the Science popularization cannot penetrate vast rural areas, moreover, Politics affected the Science popularization throughout. Stage four(1978- up to the present): with the increase of china's economic strength, and the development in science and technology , more an more methods were used in the Science popularization of Geology , the participants gradually diversify, the Science popularization of Geology come into rapid growth Stage.China is a country with frequent geologic hazard, so the Science popularization of Geology should lay stress on practicability, guide the masses to recognize and comprehend Geology, through the Science popularization, made them to know the geological environment and resources, enhance environmental awareness; and grasp the knowledge of geologic hazard, in order to avoid the hazard.
