On the teaching of biology in daily life

By Doomsday, March 9, 2010

International Education in 21st Century Committee to the UNESCO report “Education – The Treasure Within,” pointed out: the four pillars of education in the 21st Century is “learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, learning to development.” This is clearly pointed out that education is for life service. 2000 years ago, ancient Chinese thinker and educator Confucius said: “No concept in the gaoya why Britain know of the risk of falling; not temporary in the abyss, why did not know of the risk of drowning; no view on the sea, how to know storm The suffering, “vividly illustrates the practice of knowledge and life importance of the link. Biology curriculum standards are explicit requirements for biology teachers in the teaching of biology, we must, of life, contact with the actual social … … All these, without exception, requiring teachers must implement the “daily life” teaching.

So, how teaching is the implementation of teaching in the biological “life” of the concept in order to meet the concerns of students for life, thereby enhancing quality of life of the classroom so that classroom shine with the breath of life then? I believe that at least the following aspects should be noted.

One teaching goal should reflect the people’s lives

The traditional knowledge-based bio-teaching, too much emphasis on cognitive objectives, too much emphasis on the teaching of book knowledge, but the ability, emotional attitudes such as goals and values as an afterthought. Although sometimes also stressed the ability, but this ability was positioned on and to understand, analyze books, knowledge, ability and problem-solving capabilities. Goal is to guide action, teachers to really implement the “daily life” concept, first and foremost goal in teaching the design of shift from one-dimensional multi-dimensional, that is, from the traditional over-emphasis on cognitive objectives, to include “knowledge, abilities, emotional attitude with the values “change in three-dimensional target goals.

Subject knowledge is the ability, emotion, attitudes and values carrier. Although the new curriculum reform demands dilute academic knowledge system, but not mean you can do these basic knowledge, only a basic knowledge of teachers in selected, we should emphasize reflect the requirements of daily life. Specifically, the goal of teaching at junior secondary biological classification, knowledge of basic goal is to enable students to obtain a hierarchy of organisms, life events, biological and environmental, biological evolution and bio-technology, biology basic facts, concepts, principles, and laws of the basics about the human body structure, function, and health care knowledge, to promote the healthy physical and mental development, and know that bio-science and technology in daily life, production and social development, application and its possible impact.

The ability of knowledge conversion. In Biology Teaching Teachers should let students through observation, comparison, investigation, experiment, explore means of achieving students in self-construction, so that they learn from life to identify problems, analyze problems and solve the problem, will be living with the knowledge and mastery, in practice, Experience the fun of exploration success. In particular, reflects the daily life requirements of the capacity of junior high school biology teaching goals, should include the proper use of microscopes and other tools commonly used in biological experiments and instruments; have a certain experimental operational capability; the initial with the collection and use of information and graphics inside and outside class additional information; a preliminary inquiry Institute of Biological Sciences general approach to develop students ask questions, make assumptions, planning, implementation plan, draw conclusions, to express and exchange of scientific inquiry ability; in scientific inquiry to develop cooperation in capacity, practical ability and innovation capacity; initially learn to use what they have learned in biology to analyze and solve some of life, production, or to society’s real problems.
