As science education is closely related to human, nature and our society, it shows important value in the education of scientific attitude, emotion and values. It is essential that science teachers learn to excavate useful resources in science class and explore effective strategies to raise excellent scientific attitude, emotion and values of students.This thesis consists of five parts. In part I, it shows clearly the reason and background of selecting this topic. Also, it points out the vital significance of realizing the objectives of scientific attitude, emotion and values in science course. Although the curriculum reform has placed scientific attitude, emotion and values above a new level, there are lots of difficulties in the understanding and operation of scientific attitude, emotion and values when teaching. Perhaps the theoretical and practical research in this article could be enlightening to the education of scientific attitude, emotion and values in science course.Part II is a theoretical summarization about scientific attitude, emotion and values.

It also expatiates on the general situation about the objectives of scientific attitude, emotion and values in science curriculum in and abroad.

That is, fully comprehending the spirit of the curriculum reform and science curriculum standards; giving place to students during the science period; creating a harmonious and equal atmosphere in science class; paying attention to students' actual situation; appraising the formation of scientific attitude, emotion and values without time limit.
