INTRODUCTION
介绍
In the age of information and technology when scientific knowledge is becoming more and more of great importance, and the impact of science and technology is clearly observed in every part of life, it is obvious that Science and Technology Instruction plays a key role in the future of societies. All societies, specifically the developed ones, are constantly increasing the quality of Science and Technology Education. Therefore, there is a clear need to develop curricula in order to better understand and teach science. #p#分页标题#e#
在信息和技术时代,科学知识越来越受到重视,对科学和技术的影响,清楚地影响到生活的每一个部分,很明显,在未来社会科学与技术教学中起着关键作用。所有的社会,特别是发达国家,都在不断增加科技教育的质量。因此,有一个明确的需要开发,以更好地理解和传授科学的课程。
The new of science curriculum prepared by a group of scientists has been seriously and academically investigated. A lot of effort was made to orientate successful students toward science. In the science curriculum, scientific applications and studies concerning students’ daily lives form only a small portion. Considering such an approach, emancipation of thought, discussed widely in the 19thcentury was replaced by researching and investigation. The main aim of the scientific world is to raise a society of knowledge in order to have a positive view on the scholars and their works (Yeşildağ, 2009).
新的科学课程编制由一组科学家和学术者们认真的准备了。对让学生成功对科学定位作出
了很多努力。在科学课程中,学生日常生活有关的科学应用和研究形成,只有一小部分。考虑这样的做法,解放思想,广泛讨论研究和调查,在19世纪已被取代。科学界的主要目的是提高社会知识,才能有正面看法的学者和他们的作品(Yeşildağ,2009)。
Rapid developments in science and technology as well as the process of change made a significant impact on curriculum development. While determining the content and strategies of Science and Technology curriculum, this quality was taken into consideration. Science and Technology is not only a sum of realities about the world but also a way of research and thinking based on empirical measures, critical thinking and constant investigation. Therefore, in teaching Science and Technology, the objective is to help individuals to learn to reach information directly through investigation, revise and reconstruct his/her world view as she/he learns and improves his/her wish to learn. A myriad of significant changes in the field of curriculum development were reported
http://ukthesis.org/jyx/ particularly in the USA, the Netherlands, England and Germany (Halat, Doğan and Marulcu, 2005).
在科学和技术,以及变化的过程中,迅速发展课程发展取得了显着的影响。确定科学与科技课程的内容和策略的同时,考虑质量。科学技术不仅是一个总和约占世界的现实,也是一种研究和思考的基础上的经验措施,批判性思维和不断的调查。因此,在教学中科学和技术,目的是帮助个人学习达到直接通过调查信息,修改和重建他/她的世界观,他/她学习并提高了他/她学习意愿。无数课程的开发领域重大变化,特别是在美国,荷兰,英国和德国(哈拉特,Dogan和Marulcu的等,2005)。#p#分页标题#e#
