The Systematic Definition of Engineering Thinking and the Practice Approach from the Idea of Big Science Education
The idea of big science education is a kind of systematic and holistic education that emphasizes the interconnection and mutual influence be-tween science(S),technology(T),engineering(E),society(S)and environment(E).Taking"technology,engineering and society"and"engineering design and materialization"as the core concepts of disciplines into the science education(curriculum)standards of contemporary basic education,emphasi-zing the cultivation of students'engineering thinking has become a new trend in the development of science education at home and abroad.Combined with the new standard of compulsory education science curriculum in China,the understanding of engineering thinking should be based on the core literacy of science,and comprehensively cultivate students'engineering thinking in four dimensions of scientific concept,scientific thinking,inquiry practice and attitude responsibility.Engineering thinking is a habit of engineering thinking;it is a goal oriented and a kind of applied system thinking that can solve problems creatively,including hard system thinking and soft system thinking;engineering thinking is also a kind of design and materialized thinking that is engaged in engineering practice and can create artificial entities.Therefore,it will be a new approach and a new challenge in science teaching to culti-vate students'engineering thinking with the idea of big science education.Especially,we should give full play to the methodological value of cross-dis-ciplinary concept,pay attention to engineering ethics education,and cultivate students'sense of social responsibility.
