[SSI Learning] BNU SSI-L Project Regional Experimental School Alliance (Shandong-Liaoning-Heilongjiang-Guizhou) Held Topic Selection Seminar

2021年9月13日晚，北京师范大学SSI学习项目鲁辽黑黔区域实验学校联盟选题研讨会议在腾讯会议室在线进行。此次会议由联盟秘书长、威海世昌中学崔文浩主任主持，SSI项目山东区域负责人张涛主任、贵州师大杨珺教授、部分联盟校校长、项目负责人和实验教师共计20多人参加了此次会议。本次会议分两个阶段进行。第一阶段是实验学校汇报选题情况，其他学校提出意见和建议，第二阶段是专家点评。

威海南海新区实验学校进行汇报的是于淑玲主任。于主任表示，这学期学校的选题依然是“小观蛤减少是否与南海开发有关？”，希望在上学期的研究基础上，将此议题进一步深入、有序开展下去。威海世昌中学的老师对此议题的选题进行了点评，肯定了学校议题研究的连续性。

贵阳市第一实验中学唐锐老师汇报，新学期也将继续推进原来的选题——“十二背后溶洞的开发和保护”，希望能够将议题中涉及的内容分年级融入生物、地理、物理、化学课程中，使学生的认知能够呈螺旋式上升发展。荣成府新小学的老师对此议题的选题进行了点评，肯定了学校多学科合作的做法。

威海世昌中学的姜倩倩老师表示，学校将要继续开发海洋系列主题议题，并初步确定了以下几个议题作为选择方向：海洋开采业现状：海洋油气资源开采；海洋药品开发；建设海底隧道、跨海大桥；开发海洋牧场；海水淡化；海洋垃圾焚烧发电。威海千山路小学的老师点评时肯定了世昌中学选题的系统性。

荣成市府新小学席爱军老师介绍，本学期他们将开展的议题是“荣成景观灯设计和使用合理性探究”，本议题将从科学、安全、经济、环境和政策五个方面展开。哈尔滨继红小学校的老师在对议题充分肯定的基础上，就议题的争议性方面提出了建议。

威海千山路小学徐连超主任先是对上学期议题开展情况进行了反思，然后介绍了本学期准备开展的新议题——“化肥使用的利与弊”。望海园中学的老师建议可将化肥与草木灰、天然矿物、微生物发酵等肥料对比进行研究。

哈尔滨继红小学校赫英红老师表示今年将从11月份开始继续完成上学期的冰雪议题，同时也要开始研究新的议题——“全球变暖的大环境下，家乡的冰雪文化建设要如何发展？”威海南海新区实验学校的老师肯定了议题的地域性特点，并就议题的争议点提出了建议。

威海望海园中学的乔然洁老师介绍了本校本学期准备开展的新议题——“你认为合理处理废旧衣物的最佳方案是什么？”并提出了此议题在科学性方面稍显不足的问题向与会的专家和老师求教。贵阳市第一实验中学的老师对议题进行了评议。

在学校之间的交流和讨论之后，贵州师范大学教授杨珺教授谈了参加此次会议的感受，充分肯定了各学校对项目理解和设计上的提升，对每所学校的选题和工作开展情况作出了针对性的指导，并对选题工作提出了综合性意见。在充分肯定的基础上，杨教授也提出了以下几点综合性意见：设计选题要考虑到课内外的衔接；议题选择要考虑到题目具备的争议性对后续活动开展的影响；SSI项目要更多地体现学科的综合应用；活动设计可以考虑加上更多思辨内容，引发学生多个思维角度的冲突，例如辩论赛、论证式教学等；要关注议题对学生伦理道德观的影响。

会议的最后，张涛主任对此次议题研讨会议提出了五个方面的意见。一是参加这次会议与杨珺教授同样的感受，肯定了各实验学校在项目理解和选题上取得的长足进步；二是对各个实验学校的选题分别进行了评析，在充分肯定的前提下指出了存在的问题，提出了改进的建议；三是提出了社会性科学议题选题的几个原则；四是对各学校的选题方向提出了原则性的建议，以及要做出精品、形成成果的要求；五是布置了本学期社会性科学议题学习活动后续需要开展的重点工作。

本次会议提高了各实验校选题水平，为本学期SSI项目的开展奠定了良好的基础。

On the evening of September 13, 2021, a seminar on topic selection for BNU SSI-L Project Regional Experimental School Alliance (Shandong-Liaoning-Heilongjiang-Guizhou) was held online via the Tencent Conference Room. Chaired by Cui Wenhao, Secretary General of the Alliance and Director of Weihai Shichang Middle School, the seminar was attended by more than 20 people in total, including Zhang Tao, Director of the SSI Project of Shandong, Professor Yang Jun of Guizhou Normal University, and principals from alliance schools, project leaders and experimental school teachers. It was held in two stages. The first stage was the experimental school’s report on topic selection, with feedback from other schools, and the second stage was the experts giving comments and suggestions.

Yu Shu Ling, Director of Weihai Nanhai New Area Experimental School, reported on her school’s unchanged topic of this semester, namely, “Is the Decrease of Xiaoguan Clams Related to the Development of Nanhai New Area?” She hoped that based on the research in the previous semester, this topic could be further developed and carried out in an orderly manner. The teacher of Weihai Shichang Middle School commented on this topic and affirmed the continuity of the research.

Tang Rui from Guiyang No.1 Experimental Middle School said that they would continue to push forward the original topic in the new semester, i.e., “Development and Protection of the Karst Caves in Shierbeihou Tourist Area”, hoping to integrate the contents of the topic into the curriculum of biology, geography, physics and chemistry by grade level, so as to develop students’ cognition in an upward spiral. The teacher of Rongcheng Fuxin Primary School commented on the selection of this topic and affirmed the school’s multidisciplinary approach.

Jiang Qianqian from Weihai Shichang Middle School said that they would continue to develop a series of topics on the ocean, and initiated the following topics as the direction of choice: the Current Situation of Marine Mining Industry: the Exploitation of Marine Oil and Gas Resources; the Development of Marine Pharmaceuticals; the Construction of Undersea Tunnels and Cross-sea Bridges; the Development of Marine Pastures; Desalination of Seawater; and the Incineration of Marine Waste for Power Generation. The teacher of Weihai Qianshan Road Primary School commented on the systematic nature of the topics chosen by Shichang Middle School.

Xi Aijun from Rongcheng Fuxin Primary School introduced their topic on “Exploration on the Rationality of the Design and Use of Landscape Light in Rongcheng City” for this semester, which would be carried out from five aspects: science, safety, economy, environment and policy. The teacher of Harbin Jihong Primary School made suggestions on the controversial aspects of the topic, while giving full recognition to the topic.

Xu Lianchao, Director of Weihai Qianshan Road Primary School reflected on the development of the topic last semester, and then introduced a new topic to be developed this semester, i.e., “Pros and Cons of Using Chemical Fertilizer”. The teacher of Wanghaiyuan Middle School suggested that a study could be conducted comparing chemical fertilizers with grass ash, natural minerals, microbial fermentation and other fertilizers.

He Yinghong from Harbin Jihong Elementary School said that they would continue to complete the ice and snow topic of last semester from November this year, and would also start a new topic – “How to Develop the Ice and Snow Culture in Harbin Under the Global Warming Environment?”. The teacher from Weihai Nanhai New Area Experimental School affirmed the regional characteristics of the topic and put forward suggestions on the controversial points of the topic.

Qiao Ranjie from Weihai Wanghaiyuan Middle School introduced their new topic for this semester, “What Do You Think Is the Best Solution for Rational Disposal of Used Clothes?” , and asked for advice on the scientific aspects of this topic from the attendants. The teacher of Guiyang No.1 Experimental Middle School commented on the topic.

After the exchange and discussion among different schools, Professor Yang Jun of Guizhou Normal University talked about her feelings of attending this seminar. She fully affirmed the improvement of each school’s understanding and design of the project, made targeted guidance to each school’s work, and put forward comprehensive opinions on the topic selection. While giving full recognition, Professor Yang also made the following comments: the design of topics should take into account the connection between the inside and the outside of the classroom; the selection of topics should consider the impact of the controversial nature of the topics on the development of subsequent activities; SSI projects should reflect more integrated applications of disciplines; the design of activities can be considered adding more discursive content to provoke students’ critical thinking from different angles, such as debate, argumentative teaching, etc.; attention should be paid to the impact of topics on students’ ethical and moral views.

Finally, Director Zhang Tao made five comments on this seminar. First, he shared the same feeling as Professor Yang Jun in this seminar and affirmed the great progress made by the experimental schools in project understanding and topic selection; second, he commented on the topic of each experimental school, pointed out the problems and made suggestions for improvement; third, he put forward several principles for selecting socio-scientific topics; fourth, he raised the principles for the direction of each school’s topic selection and the requirement of making fine SSI project in this semester.

The seminar improved the level of topic selection of each experimental school and laid a good foundation for the future SSI project in this semester.
