Minutes of the online meeting for SSI Learning project in elementary schools (9/16/2020)

为了助力于小学各基地校设计高质量的SSI-L活动方案,项目组于9月16日晚7:00-10:00在腾讯会议室进行小学学段SSI-L设计研讨活动。全国小学学段负责人、北京市通州区教研中心小学科学教研员、特级教师曹春浩主持,来自小学学段的15所基地校骨干教师、AISL学科指导专家以及其他学段负责人与骨干教师50多人参加了此次在线研讨。

本次会议重点研讨三个进展较快的活动方案,分别来自于黑龙江省哈尔滨市继红小学、山西省大同市逸夫小学和浙江省温州市道尔顿小学。曹春浩老师邀请AISL学科指导专家组组长、北京师范大学二附中物理特级教师彭梦华老师和国家语文课程标准修订组核心成员、北京五中语文特级教师梁捷老师一起作为指导专家出席本次在线研讨。三位基地校骨干教师结合当地和学校特色对本校开发的案例进行简要介绍,彭梦华老师和梁捷老师依次对每所学校的案例提出建议和意见,山西省教育科学研究院尚秀芬老师和温州大学STEM教育研究中心张新立老师等也提出自己的想法和建议,各校骨干教师各抒己见,参与交流、分享,现场讨论气氛热烈。

最后,项目负责人林静老师对此次会议进行总结,并指出:社会性科学议题是一类复杂的开放性问题,不宜定位为正反对立式的问题;社会性科学议题的学习,关键在于让学生体验和学会合理思考和决策涉及科学、伦理、社会、政治、经济等多方位的复杂问题,提升学生科学素养和核心素养;在方案设计中,可进一步聚焦学生发展核心素养的定位,注重核心素养的可操作化落实,不能简单泛化、浮于表面;对于活动的设计,要切合小学生的认知、情感、能力等的发展水平。

万事开头难。三个小学活动方案研讨交流的过程让与会骨干教师进一步理解了SSI的议题选择与问题表述,为其余各校活动方案设计提供了示例,助推后续SSI-L项目的高质量发展。

 

In order to help partner schools design high-quality SSI-L activity plans, the project team held a workshop on SSI-L design for elementary schools via Tencent conference room from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm on September 16th, 2020. Hosted by Cao Chunhao, Head of the National Elementary School Section of SSI-L project, a special-ranked teacher and elementary science teaching researcher at the Education and Research Center of Tongzhou Distrcit, Beijing, the workshop was attended by more than 50 participants, including backbone teachers from 15 partner schools, AISL expert team members, and other school heads and teachers.

The workshop focused on three programs with rapid progress, each from Jihong Elementary School in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, Yifu Elementary School in Datong, Shanxi Province, and Dalton Elementary School in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. Mr. Cao Chunhao invited Mr. Peng Menghua, head of the AISL expert team and a special-ranked physics teacher from the Second High School Attached To Beijing Normal University, and Ms. Liang Jie, core member of the National Chinese Curriculum Standard Revision Group and a special-ranked Chinese teacher of Beijing No. 5 High School, to attend the online discussion as expert instructors. Three backbone teachers from the partner schools briefly introduced the cases with local characteristics developed by their schools, and then Mr. Peng Menghua and Ms. Liang Jie offered comments and suggestions on each case. Ms. Shang Xiufen from Shanxi Academy of Educational Sciences, and Ms. Zhang Xinli from STEM Education Research Center of Wenzhou University also raised their thoughts and suggestions. All the participants joined the lively discussion at the meeting.

Finally, Dr. Lin Jing, the project leader, summarized the meeting and pointed out that: Socio-scientific issues are a kind of complex and open problems, which should not be positioned as positive or negative issues; the key to learning SSI is to let students experience and learn to think and make rational decisions on complex issues involving science, ethics, society, politics, economy and other aspects, so as to enhance students’ scientific literacy and key competencies. In program design, we can further focus on the positioning of students’ development of key competencies, and pay attention to the operational implementation of key competencies. Instead of being simply general or superficial, the activity design should be in line with the development level of cognition, emotion and ability of elementary school students.

The discussion and exchange of activity plans of the three elementary schools helped the participating backbone teachers to further understand the topic selection and problem formulation of SSI, provided examples of the activity plan design for other schools, and promoted the high-quality development of the follow-up SSI-L project.
