为探索社会性科学议题学习（SSI Learning）的设计和实施，提升教师的跨学科教学能力，优化我校的《保实绿》拓展性课程，于2023年5月19日上午9:00，在学校综合楼一楼接待室举行社会性科学议题学习项目合作研讨会。社会性科学议题学习项目负责人、中国基础教育质量监测协同创新中心科学提升部主任林静，项目学科指导专家组组长、北京师范大学第二附属中学物理特级教师彭梦华出席会议。杭州市保俶塔实验学校项目顾问杨封友、项目负责人俞园以及项目组成员就本校的课程设计进行了展示和介绍。
俞园代表团队汇报已开展的三个议题“水的净化”、“全球变暖”和“一次性筷子”的设计和实施情况，同时针对三个议题提出实施进展中的思考和困惑，期待从框架、逻辑顺序、立意等方面展开交流。
俞园介绍议题
彭梦华点评与指导
彭梦华首先对议题的价值给予了高度的评价。他以“水的净化”为例，认为“喝什么样的水是健康的”这一开放性问题值得学生深度思考，有利于帮助学生对生活中的科学进行合理判断；同时，对项目中净水器的反渗透膜这一设计细节提出修改意见，肯定了以项目实践的方式来提升学生的成果成就感。
林静点评与指导
林静首先对疫情背景下仍能平稳持续地施行SSI-L给予肯定。其次，林静指出，在当前考试评价下，仍需将研究的着眼点立足于核心素养的落实与测评，研究与实施SSI-L目的并不是解决议题本身，而是更好地以议题为载体，发展学生思维能力和“打渔”能力。随后，林静对SSI-L项目后续的设计实施提出建议：应借助“水的净化”这一议题助力于学校深化素质改革，打造更具杭州本土特色“因水而美”的社会性科学议题课程，并融入城市规划等相关设计，挖掘更深层次的社会性价值。同时，林静建议每堂课都保存录像，从而对学生在课堂的表现进行观察与回顾，助推优化SSI-L教学设计。
彭梦华开展讲座
随后，彭梦华围绕“创新实验——培养学生的综合素质”的主题开展讲座，通过丰富的教学案例，如设计法拉第发电机、驱兽器，自制火箭、牛顿管，演示IC卡工作原理，自制有趣的电吉他、二胡等来提高学生学习兴趣，培养学生科学精神，锻炼学生思维能力，提升学生跨学科实践能力，引发在座教师一致好评。
彭梦华开展讲座
会议最后，杨封友表达了与两位专家后续进一步深入合作的殷切希望，争取在两位专家的指导和帮助下，进一步深化议题的设计和实施工作，形成有特色有体系的保俶塔社会性科学议题课程资源。

To explore the design and implementation of SSI-L, enhance teachers’ interdisciplinary teaching ability, and optimize the school’s “Keep Realistic Green” extended curriculum, on May 19, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., an SSI-L Cooperation and Research Project Seminar was held in the reception room on the first floor of the school’s complex building. Lin Jing, head of the SSI-L Project Team and director of the Science Development Department of the Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment for Basic Education Quality, and Peng Menghua, leader of the SSI-L project subject guidance expert team, and a Special-Rank teacher of the Physics Department of the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University attended the seminar. Yang Fengyou, project consultant of Hangzhou Baochuta Experimental School, Yu Yuan, project leader of the school, and members of the project team gave presentations and introductions on the school’s curriculum design.
Yu Yuan, on behalf of the team, reported on the design and implementation of the three issues “water purification,” “global warming,” and “disposable chopsticks” and expressed thoughts and confusion regarding the implementation of the three issues, expecting to start a discussion from the framework, logical sequence, intent, and other related aspects.
Comments and guidance from Peng Menghua
First, Peng Menghua spoke highly of the value of the issues. Taking “water purification” as an example, he believed that the open question of “What kind of water would be healthy to drink” was worthy of students’ deep thinking which was conducive to helping students make rational judgments in science-related situations in their daily life. Meanwhile, he proposed modifications on the detailed design of the reverse osmosis membrane of the water purifier in the project and affirmed the practical way the project used to improve students’ sense of achievement.
Comments and guidance from Lin Jing
Lin Jing first confirmed the smooth and continuous implementation of SSI-L during the pandemic. She then indicated that under the current examination and evaluation system, the research should still be focus on the implementation and evaluation of core competencies. The purpose of researching and implementing SSI-L is not to solve the issue itself, but to use the issue as a carrier to develop students’ thinking and problem-solving skills. Lin Jing went on to propose suggestions for the future design and implementation of the SSI-L project. She suggested leveraging the issue of “water purification” to help schools deepen the quality reform, create the SSI-L curriculum “beauty from water” with Hangzhou characteristics, and integrate it with urban planning and other related designs to explore deeper social value. In addition, she suggested that video recordings of every lesson should be reserved, to observe and review students’ performances in class, helping optimize SSI-L teaching design.
Lecture by Peng Menghua
After that, Peng Menghua delivered a lecture on the theme of “Innovative experiments–cultivating students’ comprehensive qualities.” He used various teaching cases, such as designing Faraday generators and animal repellers , making craft rocket models, and Newton tubes, demonstrating the working principle of IC cards, and creation of interesting electric guitars and erhus, to increase students’ interest in learning, cultivating their scientific spirit, exercise their thinking ability, and enhance their interdisciplinary practical ability. This lecture aroused unanimous praise from the teachers present.
At the end of the meeting, Yang Fengyou expressed his earnest expectations for further in-depth collaboration with the two experts. With their guidance and help, he strived to further deepen the design and implementation of the issues to form a distinctive and systematic SSI curriculum resource in Hangzhou Baochuta Experimental School.
