With the development of science and technology,modern science education gradually moves towards a relatively independent state.In this process,science education has formed a power system and mechanism for its own development,with its own logical process and historical inertia,science education has the possibility of forgetting the Life World.Science education forgets the Life World in three aspects:firstly,excessive emphasis on the teaching of scientific knowledge and supporting exercises.Secondly,Despising student inquiry activities and emphasizing the scientific concept system.Thirdly,science history education does not run through the whole process of science education activities.On the contrary,emphasizes the latest scientific and technological development achievements.Therefore,science education needs to toward the Life World.On the one hand,science education cultivates students' scientific literacy and scientific spirit,it can bring students more spiritual wealth.On the other hand,the Life World of students has limitations due to the characteristics of its own existence,so it needs to transcend and return.Science education toward the Life World with three meanings: science education is based on the Life World,transcends the Life World,and returns to the Life World.This research focuses on the core issue of "How does elementary science education toward the Life World of students?" Under the core issue,the thesis focuses on the following three sub-questions: First,at the level of science education theory,why should science education toward the Life World? Second,at the level of science education practice,how does elementary science teaching toward the Life World,what reasonable experience does it have,what problems or obstacles exist,and what are the main reasons? Third,what are the specific strategies for science education toward the Life World?At the First,clarify the relationship between science education and the Life World.Science comes from life.At the same time,science education needs to guide students to transcend the Life World and abandon the "Reality without truth" in the Life World due to its own limitations.By analyzing the different characteristics of the Life World and the Science World that Husserl said,it is concluded that the Life World is the basis of meaning for students to learn science.It provides students with a real scene of science learning,students can experience the value of science in the Life World.By studying science,students can use science to solve specific problems in life and explain specific phenomena in life.Therefore,science education needs to guide students to return to the Life World.Secondly,it summarizes the connotation and requirements of "toward to the Life World" in the elementary school science curriculum.The third chapter finds the realization path toward the Life World from the three science education presentation methods of elementary school science curriculum standards,science textbooks and other curriculum resources.Then,the inquiry through analyzing teaching cases and scientific and technological activities,conducting in-depth interviews with science teachers,and giving specific instructions for the Life World of classroom teaching implementation and reflection.Finally,explain the educational reform ideas of elementary school science facing the Life World.Namely: derive the subject of inquiry based on life situations;construct scientific concepts based on students' fore-scientific concepts;use scientific concepts to solve real problems in life.
