2021年11月3日晚上19:30 – 21:00，北京师范大学SSI-L项目组召开第二场“以社会性科学议题学习促立德树人”公益讲座，本次讲座主要内容为“社会性科学议题中的议题选择”，四位发言的主讲人分别从不同角度展开讲解。
SSI-L高中学段负责人、人教社生物室主任谭永平老师认为在选题中应当注意以下七点：选题是科学议题，又嵌合于社会生活；议题是现实生活中的真实问题，答案具有开放性；议题解决涉及多学科；多学科知识、方法在议题中要有机贯通；学生亲身参与实践活动；科学精神与人文精神并重；议题要贴近学生生活经验。
SSI-L初中学段负责人、山东威海教研中心初中教研室主任张涛老师以威海世昌中学、威海望海园中学、威海南海新区实验中学的选题历程为例，结合学校的不同情况叙述了选题的经验教训，详细说明了骨干教师如何在不同备选议题中取舍、联系五星图和驱动性问题改进议题、平衡议题中的争议点。
SSI-L小学学段负责人、北京通州教研中心小学科学教学研究会秘书长曹春浩老师叙述了社会性科学议题争议性的由来，以及SSI向SSI-L课程转化的逻辑关系，以若干所小学的成功选题为例，剖析其SSI-L议题如何做到：以小见大、影射出社会性科学议题；利于取证，多领域多视角论证。
SSI-L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老师最后概括讲解了SSI社会性、科学性、伦理性、开放性之间的关系，如何理解与定位这四者在SSI-L课程开发中的作用，如何利用证据驱动的SKC-CAT模式、顶层设计框架来设计选题，并强调SSI-L务必从学生身边出发、联系现行课标。
为了利于SSI-L项目基地校团队成员的进一步学习与回顾，也供诸位对SSI-L项目感兴趣者的观摩与学习，SSI-L项目组将此次公益讲座的视频分享于此，供大家参阅。
On November 3, 2021, from 19:30 to 21:00, the SSI-L Project team of Beijing Normal University held the second public lecture of “Promoting Li De Shu Ren through Social-scientific Issues Learning Project.” The theme of the lecture was “Issue selection of SSI-L project.” Four speakers explained from different perspectives.
TAN Yongping, the responsible person of senior high school team of SSI-L project, and the Director of Biology Office of People’s Education Press said that when choosing issues, teachers need to pay attention to seven aspects: 1) an SSI-L issue is a scientific issue and fits into social life; 2) the issue is a real problem in life and the answer is open; 3) the issue solution involves multiple disciplines; 4) the knowledge and methods of different disciplines can all integrate into the issue learning; 5) students participate in practical activities; 6) attach equal importance to the scientific spirit and the humanistic spirit; 7) issues should be close to students’ life.
ZHANG Tao, the responsible person of SSI-L junior high school team and the director of the Teaching and Research Office of Shandong Weihai Teaching and Research Center, took selection processes of Weihai Shichang Middle School, Weihai Wanghaiyuan Middle School, Weihai Nanhai Xinqu Experimental Middle School as examples. He considered each school’s characteristic and described their experiences in selecting SSI-L issues. ZHANG also explained in detail the important role of key teachers in choosing one issue among several others, the way of improving the project design through thinking about the five-star diagram and the driven questions, and ideas on balancing the controversial points in the issues.
CAO Chunhao, the responsible of SSI-L primary school team and the secretary-general of Primary School Science Teaching Research Association of Beijing Tongzhou Teaching and Research Center, described the origin of the controversy of social science issues and the logic of transforming from SSI to SSI-L curriculum. He mentioned several success stories from the primary school team and analyzed how those were achieved. One was to see big things from small ones and raise the social-scientific issue. Another one was to make full use of the evidence and argue from multiple aspects.
Dr. LIN Jing, the SSI-L project leader, and the Director of the Science Improvement Department of China Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment for Basic Education Quality at last summarized relationships among sociality, science, ethics, and openness of SSI. She explained how to define roles of those four characteristics of SSI in the development of SSI-L curriculums and how to use the evidence-driven SKC-CAT model and top-level design framework to design the project activities. LIN again emphasized that SSI-L must start from the students’ side and connect with the current national curriculum standards.
To facilitate further study for SSI-L project partner schools, and for those who are interested in this project, the video of the public lecture is presented here for your viewing pleasure.
