On the role of science and science education.
The functions of science and science education are as follows:

1. Science education is a method to experience scientific thinking and scientific inquiry by imparting basic scientific knowledge and relying on quality education. Cultivating students' scientific spirit and attitude can help students establish a relatively complete view of scientific knowledge and values, and carry out basic scientific research ability training and science and technology application education.

2. In the past primary and secondary education, subject education has always been the main content of education. The requirements for students' all-round quality have changed in the new era. In order to improve students' comprehensive quality, teachers must change their teaching thinking in time, from the initial focus on knowledge and skills to the focus on methods and processes, to the focus on the relationship between science, technology and society, and to grasp the essence of science.

3. The essence of science is that human subjects systematically explore objects with rational thinking, so as to grasp universal laws, thus controlling and transforming objects and serving human survival and development. As a rational cognitive activity of human beings, science has its unique way of thinking and cognitive methods. In the process of scientific activities, people's spiritual strength is expressed and formed.

4. The essence of science education is the process of students' quasi-research activities. The revelation of the nature of science education is helpful for us to recognize the problems existing in today's science education and find the strategies to solve these problems. Students' quasi-scientific cognitive activities have a wide range of social and individual values.

5. Science directly affects education. The results of knowledge production in the scientific system directly enter the education system, which causes changes in the structure, mode, means and content of the education system.

6. Re-adjust and plan the level and proportion of science education research in China, focus on the general theory of science education, especially summarize and refine China's rich practical experience of science education from philosophy, so as to establish a science education system with China characteristics, which can answer a series of questions about China's epistemology, axiology and methodology of science education.

7. Keep pace with the times, adhere to scientific education research methods based on speculation and practical experience, advocate and attach importance to scientific experimental methods and quantitative research methods, and vigorously carry out innovative education. We should introduce some new methods and theories in natural science and social science to researchers and science teachers through various channels.

8. We should pay attention to the construction of people-oriented educational cognitive structure, the generation rules and training strategies of scientific research quality and scientific innovation ability in the educational system, the training rules and training strategies of scientific interest and scientific spirit in educational methods and contents, and study what educational means are used to cultivate and master scientific methods.

9. Science plays an indirect role in education. Under the condition of scientific institutionalization, the main body of scientific activities is manifested in three interrelated levels: individual, collective and society.

10. The most basic social function of education is cultural function, that is, preserving culture and spreading, renewing and developing culture. Other social functions of education include socialization of education, distribution of social roles, economic function of education and scientific function of education.

1 1. Explain educational facts with scientific educational theories, so as to grasp their inherent essence and characteristics and produce new knowledge systems and technical methods. Education has different scientific functions in the concrete realization process, but they are inseparable.

12. The development of science and the renewal of knowledge put forward new requirements for education, requiring constant changes in educational structure, educational methods, educational means and educational content, thus further promoting the development of science and realizing the "feedback" of education to science. Science is not only the key factor to promote the development of education, but also the fundamental driving force to promote social progress.

13, give consideration to natural science, social science, engineering technology, humanities and psychology, promote the intersection of arts and sciences and the integration of different disciplines, help students form a comprehensive, reasonable and comprehensive knowledge structure, and fully understand the basic scientific thinking, scientific methodology and the role of science.

14. We should combine the scientific phenomena in real life and the social, economic, cultural and psychological factors that affect science, realize the modernization and diversification of teaching methods, and introduce advanced teaching methods such as multimedia to make the science teaching process more vivid, help students understand the thinking process of scientific discovery, and let students understand and master scientific knowledge through inquiry and independent thinking.

15, earnestly implement and carry out the school's science and technology activity courses or science and technology competitions, strengthen the experimental teaching links, cultivate the habit of teachers and students working together and thinking together in scientific and technological research or experiments, and then improve teachers and students' interest in scientific and technological innovation.
