基于科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)融合的科幻教育研究与实践

摘要

The integration of Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in STEM education has become a mainstream topic nowadays. Science ifction has the characteristics of simulating practice and mixing together multi-disciplinary knowledge. So it is good to use science ifction courses to integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and let students understand the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and let them further learn to integrate these four things together in daily school life. Like STEM education, science ifction courses can also develop students’ exploring abilities and critical thinking, let them understand the spirit of science and technology and engineering ethics. In this case study, we use questionnaires to compare the changes in exploring ability, critical thinking as well as the understanding of scientific ethos, ethics in technology and engineering between the students having science ifction courses and those do not.%科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）融合在STEM教育研究中已经成为一个主流话题。而科幻具有模拟实践和融合多学科知识的特点，所以利用科幻课程可以很好地融合科学、技术、工程和数学，让学生在其中感受到科学、技术、工程和数学重要，同时也能在学习生活中学会融合这四者。科幻课程可以与STEM教育一样，培养学生的探究能力和批判思维，让学生理解科学精神、技术和工程伦理。本研究还通过问卷调查，初步比对上过科幻课学生和没上过科幻课学生在探究能力、批判思维以及理解科学精神、技术和工程伦理方面的变化。
