The Inspection Of Integration Of The Science Curriculum And Information Technology

The 21st century marks the arrival of Information Age and Knowledge Economy, which is characteristic with multi-media and Internet technology. New Age demands qualified talents who must be highly informative. And in the meantime, the view of learning has also changed, from "storage study" to "lifelong study", the latter brings in a great challenge for Chinese education.In such background, a new circle of Primary Curriculum Reform came in being, in which a totally new subject, called Science Course is introduced to Junior Schools. This new subject integrates four separate subjects, which have been taught separately in Junior Schools before. The four separate subjects, which shared intrinsic interrelationship in some certain fields, are as follows: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Natural Geography. The adoption of SL attempts to break the interdisciplinary boundaries and to integrate what they can be integrated so that problem-solving becomes more reasonable and successful due to the overall consideration to the focused question from different and related aspects of Science. The thesis tries to help juniors to develop their way of thinking globally, cultivate their scientific attitudes, develop their aptitudes and internalize their insight into life experience.Science Course, mainly focusing on "Integration and Inquiry", aims to get juniors tolearn Science systematically and to think in an interdisciplinary overview. In orderto get juniors to learn integrated scientific knowledge and skills more successfully with the benefit of Internet and Web Quest, the researcher first gives a literature review of the previous achievements and then adopts experimental research method. This thesis presents 3 chapters:The first chapter is an introduction to the background of the thesis, including the introduction to the integrated process of the 4 separate subjects taught beforehand, the definition and development of the information Technology and even the significance of this research; in Chapter2, the author gives an account of theoretical background of the Integration of Information Technology and Course from philosophical and psychological viewpoint and from methodology and systematic science; in Chapter 3, the author puts forward his own views on how to integrate information technology and primary science course.
