However, ourprimary science curriculum reform in the past decade, many schools struggling in theimplementation of primary school science curriculum. Elementary school sciencecurriculum reform program in the actual operation of the process is how exactly?What factors led to the implementation of the state ’s primary science curriculum?How should we change this situation? Answering these questions is elementaryscience curriculum reform to succeed, so comprehensively improve the scientificliteracy of students required to truly implement an unavoidable issue. Therefore, thestudy ’s primary science curriculum is to further promote the implementation ofelementary science curriculum reform is the key. literacy of students required to trulyimplement an unavoidable issue. Therefore, the study’s primary science curriculum isto further promote the implementation of elementary science curriculum reform is thekey.The purpose of this paper is based on the kind of state elementary school scienceresearch scene implemented programs to explore the implementation of the currentprimary science curriculum as it is.
