Exploring the Design and Implementation of EU Open Teaching Resources for Socioscientific Issues——A Case Study of the ENGAGE Science Education Project
One of the important challenges facing science education in the 21st century is driving innovation-led development.The mission of science education requires inspiring students'curiosity and endowing them with the drive for innovation in the new era,so as to make them lifelong learners and responsible citizens in future professional fields.Guided by the value of"Responsible Research and Innovation,RRI"the European Education Commission has conducted a series of research projects in science education based on the teaching of socioscientific issues(SSI).Among them,the ENGAGE project has the most far-reaching impact.This project focuses on the cognitive development of students from Grade 6 to 8,and develops 30 teaching cases covering Physics,Chemistry,Geography,Biology around the latest emerging areas.It combines the 5E teaching model widely used in science education and focuses on the integration of multidimensional objectives.It attaches importance to responsible scientific research and innovation,and organizes teaching content based on scientific practice activities such as inquiry practice and argumentation and reasoning.In evaluation,it pays attention to the learning process of students.In accordance with the requirements of the.curriculum standards for compulsory science education in China,when developing SSI teaching resources,it is necessary to anchor the emerging fields and focus on the inherent characteristics of SSI when selecting topics.The development of teaching objectives should fulfill the needs,emphasizing the integration of overarching concepts and multidimensional inquiry skills.The organization of teaching content should be flexible and based on students'cognitive patterns and the feasibility of scientific inquiry organization.Real-time tracking records should be maintained,with a focus on evaluating students'learning processes.Meanwhile,when referencing open teaching resources from abroad,adjustments should be made to align with China's socialist core values,selectively combining local cases and suitable themes,and formulating teaching objectives and strategies around the curriculum and teaching requirements.Rational planning of teaching practice activities and constant reflections aiming to improve teaching cases should also be emphasized.
