Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, China's education has made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, and basically achieved a historic transformation from a country with a large population to a country with large human resources. However, compared with the grand goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035 and building China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power by the middle of the 20th century, there are still many shortcomings and problems in China's science education. For example, young people in China lack understanding of scientific spirit and scientific methods, have weak ability to analyze and solve complex problems, and have low expectations for science-related occupations; The content of science education in China lacks integrity in the structure of science curriculum, the depth and breadth of science textbooks are not appropriate, the connection between solving exercises and solving practical problems is not close enough, the content of science curriculum is out of touch with the development of cutting-edge science and technology, and there is a lack of interaction and effective integration with humanities education. The means and methods of science education are still based on traditional lectures, emphasizing knowledge transmission and ignoring methods and attitudes; The coordinated development and promotion mechanism of science education ecology needs to be deepened. These shortcomings and problems have seriously affected the development of science education and the cultivation of innovative talents in China.
