Making schoolchildren take tests is harming students’ interest in science, as well as having a negative impact on kids’ natural curiosity. This is the conclusion of a British university report into science teaching and testing in primary schools. Researchers from Durham University warned that too many schools were teaching science just so students could pass tests. There is a lot of pressure for students to get to better schools. The experts said there was very little real science teaching going on that encouraged studentsto find out things for themselves. Learning by doing, experimenting and seeing should be at the heart of all physics, chemistry and biology lessons. The Durham University team found the opposite; that there was little hands-on, practical work taking place in Britain’s schools.

考試磨滅學(xué)生對科學(xué)的熱情，降低學(xué)生對科學(xué)的好奇心。這是某英國大學(xué)對小學(xué)“科學(xué)教學(xué)與考試”的研究結(jié)果。來自杜倫大學(xué)的研究人員警告稱，許多學(xué)生的教學(xué)目的只是為了通過考試。對于進(jìn)入一流學(xué)府，學(xué)生備受壓力。有專家指出，真正能夠激勵學(xué)生自我探索的教學(xué)少之又少。對于物理、化學(xué)、生物，實(shí)驗(yàn)觀察才是核心。杜倫大學(xué)研究團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這恰恰相反，在英國學(xué)校，學(xué)生動手實(shí)踐的機(jī)會微乎其微。

Lead researcher Professor Peter Tymms said it was important to develop new approaches to primary school science. He compared today’s teaching with that of the past sixty years and found that testing was harming children’s natural desire to ask questions about science. We suspect that the current national approach to science in primary schools is not impacting on children’s scientific thought and curiosity as much as is possible, he said. Professor Tymms made it clear what schools and science teachers need to focus on, saying: “The purpose of science in primary schools should be to foster a sense of curiosity and positive attitudes in the young child. It should also guide the child in solving problems to do with the physical, natural and human worlds.”

研究主任皮特·蒂姆認(rèn)為，我們應(yīng)該對小學(xué)的教育方法進(jìn)行改變，這至關(guān)重要。他將當(dāng)今的教育方法與過去六十年前進(jìn)行比較，發(fā)現(xiàn)考試磨滅了兒童對科學(xué)答疑解惑的欲望。他認(rèn)為，國內(nèi)的小學(xué)教育并沒有盡可能激發(fā)學(xué)生對科學(xué)的創(chuàng)想和好奇心。蒂姆教授指出了學(xué)校和老師的教學(xué)重點(diǎn)，他認(rèn)為：“小學(xué)的科學(xué)教育應(yīng)該達(dá)到激發(fā)好奇心，從小建立積極態(tài)度的目的。并能夠指導(dǎo)學(xué)生利用外部世界解決問題。
