What is science and technology education?
Children's science and technology education is an important way out for the development of quality education in the future. In recent years, we have seen such a development trend more and more.

However, under the background of the traditional exam-oriented education system, many parents still only pay attention to whether their children can improve their academic performance and get high marks, and more often, they shape their children into scorers and exam machines. In order to meet the actual needs of exam-oriented education in schools, various extracurricular counseling and training institutions have also become maids and concubines in school education.

Therefore, in the new era when the Internet economy is changing with each passing day, it should become the consensus of the times, especially in the field of education, to develop real quality education, cultivate high-quality talents with scientific innovative thinking and the ability to adapt to the new situation and new format, and vigorously develop youth science and technology education. More and more people of insight have joined the youth science and technology education industry, which has been supported by national policies and finance. It can be said that this is the only way for China to realize educational modernization and innovation.

What are the advantages and characteristics of children's science and technology education compared with traditional school education and supplementary education?

It can be seen from the following eight aspects:

1. teaching methods: traditional school education has always followed a fixed teaching task and teaching plan, and there has been no substantive innovation for decades. This class-based classroom education and discipline-based teaching method developed from modern western countries and has a history of hundreds of years. Deep-rooted, hard to change. This is also increasingly unable to adapt to the reality of today's rapid social and economic development and the actual talent demand! The make-up education is mainly to check the missing knowledge points in school education, and there is nothing new in teaching. Science and technology education focuses on stimulating young students' interest in learning, cultivating their autonomous learning ability in various ways, changing passive learning into active learning in schools, flexible teaching methods, and differentiated and personalized training for different children!

2. Teachers: The original solidified teacher training in school education has not been reformed for more than 30 years, and the training concept is seriously conservative and backward. In remedial education, the level of teachers varies greatly, most of them have not been systematically trained, and the quality of teachers is uneven. Science and technology education generally has systematic and perfect vocational training and planning. Taking Qixing of South China University of Technology as an example, the company's teaching and research headquarters will provide unified and standardized teacher training for its affiliated cooperative institutions. After systematic and scientific pre-job training, they will be certified after passing the examination, strictly ensuring the teaching quality and comprehensive quality of each teacher.

3. Teaching purpose: school education is divided into different subjects, and the teaching goal is to focus on learning the scientific and cultural knowledge stipulated in the curriculum standards and objectives of each subject, and to assess the results of each subject; Remedial education is auxiliary, aiming at consolidating the cultural and theoretical knowledge studied at school; Science and technology education focuses on cultivating and examining children's practical ability and cultivating children's interest.

4. Social cognition: school education grew up in a small collective environment dominated by classes, and it is impossible to fully understand society; At the same time, make-up education belongs to the growth in a small collective environment, and the society is understood from the main perspective of learning and consolidating the cultural knowledge accepted in the classroom, lacking a comprehensive understanding; Children's science and technology education focuses on helping children to establish a scientific framework of cognitive society and promote their all-round development.

5. Personality cultivation: school education takes morality as the standard to cultivate students' personality, and it is difficult to really shape a sound personality under the general situation of simply pursuing the rate of enrollment and the results of cultural courses; Remedial education has become a vassal of improving cultural achievements, only aiming at extra points, lacking the cultivation standard of personality; Science and technology education is to establish a complete science and technology curriculum, promote children's all-round development, help children understand the whole social value system, and cultivate children's scientific and technological innovation ability while shaping their sound personality.

6. Family relationship: school education pays attention to the establishment of hierarchical concept, which is easy to cause ambivalence and is not conducive to maintaining family harmony; Tutorial education basically does not involve family relations, because it is a buying and selling relationship with the family, and each has its own needs; ; Science and technology education pays great attention to the important role played by families in children's science and technology education. In the process of learning, children are entertaining and cheerful, which becomes a bond to maintain good family relations!

7. On the plan of becoming a talent: school education aims at all-round development, but it can't meet the requirements of all-round development under the constraint of exam-oriented education; Remedial education only serves school education, and takes it as its own responsibility to improve children's performance in cultural courses, and does not participate in other training; Science and technology education is really to promote the all-round development of children, pay attention to cultivating children's interest in science and art, and indirectly improve children's comprehensive performance and quality through interest cultivation. They can become professionals, develop in an all-round way, choose according to their own reality, and pay attention to science and humanities.

8. Social contribution: In the compulsory education stage, school education strives to train children to become qualified students and fulfill certain educational responsibilities, but whether they become talents depends on individual contributions and there is no rigid requirement for schools; Make-up education also has no responsibility to train students to become talents, thinking that this is a school matter; In this respect, science and technology education takes it as its responsibility to cultivate scientific and technological talents in short supply in society at present, which can objectively reflect the talent demand of society and the desire of parents of primary and secondary school students to cultivate their children.

On the whole, the advantages of science and technology education are still extremely obvious, but this does not mean that school education and remedial education are uniformly denied, nor does it mean that science and technology education is unique. In fact, the functional value of school education and remedial education has always been obvious to all and cannot be erased. In fact, science and technology education can realize complementary advantages, strong alliance and industrial upgrading and transformation!
