On October 26, the symposium on "Deepening Science Education and Becoming Outstanding Principals in China" was held in Shanghai. Initiated by the Educators Magazine, with academic guidance from the Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment for Basic Education Quality at Beijing Normal University and co-organized by Eaton Kidd's Excellent Education, the symposium focused on the reform of science education approaches and classroom models in the context of China's modernization, exploring practical strategies to enhance science education and support high-quality educational development in China.
At the opening session, speeches were delivered by Yang Xiongli, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor at Fudan University; Li Gongyi, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Educators Magazine; and Shan Tingting, Executive Editor-in-Chief of Eaton Kidd's Excellent Education. Yang Xiongli approached science education from a dialectical materialism perspective. He pointed out that in the process of the continuous development of all things, any authority is relative. We must treat authority scientifically, respect authority and knowledge, but also dare to challenge authority and pursue truth.
Li Gongyi said in his speech that in order to promote the spirit of educators and encourage more educator-type principals to emerge, the Educators Magazine launched a series of activities called "Searching for Outstanding Chinese Principal Figures". The convening of this seminar will inspire wisdom and promote thinking. He believes that with the advent of the era of big science, strengthening primary and secondary education is necessary to adapt to the development of science and technology, cope with international competition, and cultivate top-tier innovative talent.
Shan Tingting mentioned in her speech that science education is not only a subject-based course, but also the study and exploration of natural laws, the discussion and practice of technology, and the exploration and understanding of the world in a rational way. Science education should permeate the entire learning process and jointly cultivate students' innovative literacy and problem-solving ability.
Wang Yusheng, former Director of the China Science and Technology Museum, presented a report titled "Science Education Should Begin with Young Children." He traced the historical evolution of science and emphasized that children, naturally curious, are born scientists. Through extensive reading, exploring, and relentless truth-seeking, they can grow into real scientists.
In her thematic report on "Interdisciplinary Learning Models and Strategies for Socio-Scientific Issues," Lin Jing, director of the Science Development Department of the Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment for Basic Education Quality at Beijing Normal University, underscored the need for teachers to define clear goals, adopt student-centered approaches, pay attention to creating authentic contexts, and implement teaching through open-ended inquiry and group cooperation methods, throughout their SSI interdisciplinary teaching process.
Xiao Sihan, Associate Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute of Curriculum and Instruction at East China Normal University, delivered a report titled "How to Observe and Analyze Science Education Classrooms." He broke down classroom actions like observation, measurement, production, and comprehension in details, and analyzed the specific learning processes of students to help teachers better understand student behavior and refine teaching methods.
Ni Minjing, Member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, gave a report titled "Enhancing High-Quality Science and Innovation Education: The Role of Principals." He defined scientific literacy as the ability to observe phenomena, raise questions, and take bold actions. Education should shift towards "learning for innovation," emphasizing diversity over perfection to nurture scientific literacy among students.
The round-table forum was moderated by Cheng Shangrong, researcher at the Jiangsu Academy of Educational Sciences and expert from the Ministry of Education's Basic Education Curriculum Reform Guidance Group. Several principals, including Yuan Fang from the No.1 High School Affiliated to East China Normal University, Zheng Wei from Yanziji Central Primary School in Qixia District Nanjing, Li Jie from Hangzhou Guancheng Experimental School, and science teacher Zheng Xin from Songjiang Sijing Experimental School Affiliated to Shanghai University of Engineering Science, discussed the theme "Challenges and Solutions to Promoting Science Education in the New Era." Topics included current misconceptions in science education, training science teachers, and constructing high-quality school science education curricula. The discussions gave rise to lively interactions between panelists and the audience.
In the case-sharing session, Li Yuan, Principal of Shanghai Jiading No. 1 High School, Zhang Duan, Vice Principal of Yuxin School Attached to Capital Normal University, Pan Yang, Principal of Wenzhou Guangchang Road Primary School (Group), and Wu Huina, SSI Project leader teacher at the Asia-Pacific Experimental School of Beijing Normal University, shared their schools' innovative practices in advancing science education. These cases covered curriculum design and teaching models, showcasing their achievements and successful experiences in science education.
Lin Jing delivered the closing address, emphasizing the ultimate purpose of education is to address human needs. She urged education practitioners to deeply understand their students, focus on their actual needs and cognitive development, adopt scientific methods to provide precision education, and explore new education models in light of the characteristics of the artificial intelligence era.
The symposium was moderated by Wang Xiangrong, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Educators Magazine.
