Organic penetration enriches the connotation of science and technology education
If schools want to improve the quality of science and technology education, they must use the classroom as the main battlefield and use classroom teaching to organically penetrate science and technology education. In the classroom, teachers pay great attention to the stimulation and protection of students' creativity, allowing students to think boldly, speak boldly, and do boldly. Because teachers know that students’ various whimsical ideas are the emergence of scientific and technological awareness and the emergence of creative ability. For example, after students in the physics class learned about momentum and buffering, the teacher organized the students to carry out innovative experiments - designing anti-seismic replacement devices for eggs. The students' designs were both bold and novel. Many anti-seismic buffering devices successfully protected the buildings from the fourth floor. Dropped eggs; and after learning automatic control, many students, inspired by the teacher, thought of using automatic control to save energy, use automatic control to control vehicle speed, etc. After the teacher's guidance and help, the students invented "personalization" "Energy control instrument for commercial office area" and "automatic locomotive oil control valve". Students in the biology class learned about the nutritional composition of plants. Inspired by the teacher, the students used waste to make a "new soilless cultivation device". Students in the geography class learned about the causes of climate formation. The teacher organized the students to relocate the Chengdu Industrial Zone and interact with Chengdu. Investigate the changes in urban weather... The cultivation of innovative thinking enables science and technology education to "sneak into the night with the wind, moistening things silently", which invisibly improves students' scientific and technological awareness and practical ability, and stimulates students' creative potential.
Society is a big classroom for students to practice and innovate. In addition to focusing on the classroom, the school also makes full use of various social resources. The school is located in the Chengdu National High-tech Development Zone where colleges, scientific research units, and high-tech industries are concentrated. Making full use of abundant social resources can broaden students' horizons, develop their intelligence, and stimulate their creativity. The school organizes students to visit the high-tech doctoral park, uses doctoral workstations and university laboratory resources to further cultivate and guide students' scientific and technological inventions, and cultivates more scientific and technological invention experts based on the patents obtained this year, providing opportunities for students' diversified talents. and basics. The school specially hired experts from universities to teach students, and contacted several physical and chemical laboratories of Sichuan University as long-term experimental bases for students, which broadened students' horizons, strengthened their hands-on ability, and opened up students' unique ideas. Wonderful ideas turn into inventions under the guidance of experts.
