摘要
培养批判性思维被认为是STEM教育的重要目标,当前研究中关于STEM教育对批判性思维的影响效果存在争议.运用元分析方法对国内外31项实验或准实验研究进行了系统分析,发现STEM教育对批判性思维具有中等偏上的正向显著影响.学段、学科、样本量、地区、实验周期、测试工具、干预类型等变量在STEM教育影响批判性思维时均具有调节作用,但地区差异对于STEM教育下学生批判性思维的影响并不显著.结合研究结果,对STEM教育中批判性思维的培养和研究提出了建议.
Abstract
Developing critical thinking is considered an important goal in STEM education,and the current study is controversial about the effect of STEM education on critical thinking.The article conducted a systematic analysis of 31 experimental or quasi experimental studies at home and abroad using meta analytic methods based on an evidence-based perspective.The study found that STEM education had a moderately positive significant effect on critical thinking.Sec-tions,disciplines,sample sizes,regional,experimental cycles,testing tools,and intervention types all had moderating effects when STEM education affected critical thinking,and the regional differences were not significant for the effects of students'critical thinking under STEM educa-tion.Combined with the results of the study,some suggestions were made for the cultivation and research of critical thinking in STEM education.
