Research On Cultivating Students' Scientific Literacy Based On "Unconventional" Physical Experiment

National science literacy has become an important indicator of a country’s comprehensive national strength. Compared with developed countries, China’s national scientific literacy is still relatively low, which will directly affect the development of science and technology and the improvement of the innovation ability, and then affect the sustainable economic and social development. Improving scientific literacy must grab from the National Basic Education, therefore, to improve students’ scientific literacy is an important goal and task for our basic education. Proceeding from the demand of social development and based on secondary school physics teaching, effective ways to cultivate students’ scientific literacy are explored in this study."Unconventional" physical experiment is a kind of physical experiment which is under the guidance of the new curriculum and based on the theory of ecological physics teaching or situational teaching theory. From "unconventional" physics experiment, this article studies the specific methods to train students’ scientific literacy using "unconventional" physics experiment.First of all, from a new perspective of development and utilization of curriculum resources under new curriculum ideas, the concept of "unconventional" physics experiments are introduced. On this basis, the connotation, characteristics and current research of "unconventional" physics experiment are dissected. Then the concept of scientific literacy is explained. By contrast, comprehensive studies at home and abroad, four basic composition elements of scientific literacy are cleared in this article, which are scientific knowledge and skills, scientific method, scientific spirit and the relationship between science and technology and society, and the concrete connotation of each element is specifically expounded.Through the study of "unconventional" physics experiments and scientific literacy, three pathways to cultivate students’ scientific literacy with the use of "unconventional" physics experiment are found,that are applying "unconventional" physics demonstration experiments to cultivate students scientific literacy, applying "unconventional" physics student experiments to cultivate students scientific literacy and applying "unconventional" physical extracurricular exploration experiments to cultivate students’ scientific literacy, and specific implementation strategies are summed up through case studies in each pathway. Finally, the author conducted a mutual adaptability empirical research on teaching cases analysis and instructional design based on "unconventional" physics experiments.
