問題詳情
E Last year my sixth-grader daughter, Elizabeth, was forced to put up with science. Her education week after week ,contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte” She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fusion(核聚变) “—never mind that she hasn't the least idea of what nuclear fusion means. Elizabeth did very well (she's good at memorizing things). And now she hates science. My eighth-grader son, Ben, also suffered from science education. Week after week he had to perform lab experiments with answers already known. Ben figured out how to guess the right answers, so he got good grades .Now he hates science, too. Science can provide an exciting way to develop children's curiosity. Science education should teach ways to ask questions and week answers. But my children got the mistaken idea in school than science is difficult dull and has no relation to their everyday interests. As a physicist, I am saddened and angered to see “the great science turnoff” I know that science is important in our lives. Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science. What's gone wrong? Who is to blame?
