In science education, "science" refers to the knowledge of specific subjects, such as physics, chemistry and biology. Or more broadly, it refers to the knowledge system of natural science. "Education" is a process in which teachers impart scientific knowledge to students and adopt appropriate teaching methods, strategies and resources to help students understand and master scientific knowledge and cultivate students' scientific literacy.
The goals of science education usually include cultivating students' interest and love for science, improving students' scientific literacy and critical thinking ability, enabling them to use scientific knowledge to solve practical problems and prepare for future scientific research and innovation.
Science education also emphasizes students' participation and personal experience in the learning process, so that students can understand the principles and phenomena of science more deeply through experiments, observations and discussions. This teaching method helps to stimulate students' curiosity, cultivate their active learning ability, and help them combine theoretical knowledge with practical application.
Therefore, science education not only focuses on imparting scientific knowledge, but also on cultivating students' learning ability, inquiry spirit and innovative thinking, so that they can become talented and responsible future scientists and citizens.
