21世纪的科学教育

Science Education in the 21st Century

摘要:

传统的大学理科课程是为训练特定学科的专家而设计的。然而,在世界各地的大学里,理科学生的职业越来越多样化,目前的模式不适合他们的需求。技术的进步也使某些学习模式过时。过去10年,香港大学理学院进行了重大的课程改革。所有即将入学的理科学生所需的一系列科学基础课程旨在以综合的方式教授科学,并强调数学的概念和实用性,而不是计算技术。已经开发了一些非学科特定的共同核心课程,以扩大学生对科学与社会的相关性和科学的跨学科性质的认识。通过把重点放在科学的过程,而不是结果,学生被教导如何识别,制定和解决各种问题。

英文摘要:

The traditional university science curriculum was designed to train specialists in specific disciplines. However, in universities all over the world, science students are going into increasingly diverse careers and the current model does not fit their needs. Advances in technology also make certain modes of learning obsolete. In the last 10 years, the Faculty of Science of the University of Hong Kong has undertaken major curriculum reforms. A sequence of science foundation courses required of all incoming science students are designed to teach science in an integrated manner, and to emphasize the concepts and utilities, not computational techniques, of mathematics. A number of non-discipline specific common core courses have been developed to broaden students' awareness of the relevance of science to society and the interdisciplinary nature of science. By putting the emphasis on the scientific process rather than the outcome, students are taught how to identify, formulate, and solve diverse problems.
