Create a new situation in science education


After becoming the school's science vice principal, how will they carry out the school's science education work? Academician Pan Yi, as the vice president of science of Shenzhen Longhua District Innovation Experimental School, plans to strengthen the cultivation and guidance of students' scientific literacy from three aspects.

The first is to take students out of the campus, into the laboratory to visit and study, so that students can feel the charm of science and technology at close range; The second is to carry out scientific and technological activities that students like, so that every student has the opportunity to participate in practice; The third is to set up courses and related science LABS that are suitable for each academic section, so that students can experience the charm of science in school.

"It's very important to take students out of the campus and into the lab to visit and learn." Pan Yi said that promoting the organic connection between schools and society can cultivate talents that meet the needs of social development.

Students go out of the classroom to witness the operation and development of the society, which is to enhance students' cognition of the society; Students go out of the classroom to carry out practical courses in each experimental base, and experience the process of "putting forward hypotheses and carrying out verification" of scientific research, which is to exercise the ability to solve practical problems.

"The job of the science vice principal is very heavy in itself, and as a part-time vice principal, it is impossible to carry out teaching work like a regular teacher in the school." Zhong Jianqiang believes that the vice principal of science can play a general guiding and advisory role in the science education of the school.

In addition, he can teach students directly by himself or by inviting relevant experts and professors to the campus to hold lectures. Training and support for teachers can also be provided to help them improve the level and capacity of science education.

Zhong Jianqiang believes that the joining of the vice principal of science will certainly bring a very important impact on the school, teachers and students.

"The addition of science vice principals in primary and secondary schools is conducive to further emphasizing and promoting science education in primary and secondary schools, and can make up for the shortcomings of schools in the aspects of emphasis, resource integration, innovation and development, evaluation and feedback, and teacher team construction." Zhong Jianqiang said.

Dr. Zhang believes that science education should not be run behind closed doors, but should introduce high-level experts to bring new ideas and broaden horizons. "I think primary and secondary education has ushered in a new situation of 'multi-direction'. Compared with the past, there will be a wider range of talents, experts and scholars in more diverse fields to join the primary and secondary education, and hiring a science vice president can be one of the measures. These new situations and new measures will be beneficial to improving the level of science education in primary and secondary schools."

In fact, employing experts and scholars in the field of science as vice presidents of primary and secondary schools has long been explored in Shenzhen.

On October 20, 2017, Shenzhen Yantian District held the first batch of science and technology education vice president appointment ceremony, hired 16 scientific research backbone and top experts from BGT, as the first batch of science and technology education vice presidents in Yantian District, Yantian District took the lead in the city to achieve the full coverage of primary and secondary school science and technology vice presidents in the district of 16 primary and secondary schools.

It is believed that in the future, Shenzhen primary and secondary schools will also usher in more science vice presidents, let the scientific spirit infiltrate the campus, bring science education resources into the campus, promote the optimization of science education methods, and explore a unique road to science education.
