A Case Study On Children's Scientific Experiment Education In Local Science And Technology Museum

Every child has the potential to be a scientist.They are purely eager about knowledge.They are good at observing,they like experimenting,and they love creation.Jorge Luis Borges said "Library is what paradise should be like".Therefore,science museums should be some kind of paradise for children as well.Equipping with unique educational resources,these science museums organize science experiments of"discovery and creation" which enable children to obtain formative education.Children's Scientific Experiment Education activities,from the active implementation site,does not need too large area.It's very favorable for the local Science and Technology museum because it's size-limited.But to our regret,it,s still faced with the problem of limited visitor,and slow development.At present,we need to solve the problem of how to attract more and more local children to participate in the scientific experiment activities,and how to expand the scope of radiation.The thesis contains five chapters.Firstly,in the Introduction part,I will clarify the motivation and target of this investigation.As preparation,I will give a brief introduction about the objects as well as a brief review of the investigation situation in home and abroad.During the second chapter,the literature review,I will summarize the history of science education for young children over the world,and will also select interesting educational events with representation in small or medium science museum.Chapter three is Methodology,in which I will choose specific examples,Huzhou science and Technology Museum and Hefei science and Technology Museum,to make a comprehensive and in-depth academic exploration.First of all,to attract local children to participate the activities once and once again,which is related to the quality of activities.According to previous studies,the quality of activities include the activities of the preparation,active content,activity process,and the quality of teachers.According to the results of the questionnaire,activity process and teachers' quality to the parents again willingness to participate have a significant impact.By the way,because the children are too young to fill in the questionnaire,so I sets the questionnaire object to the parents in the accompanying of children.And then,I can analyze the activity process and the quality of teachers through the the qualitative observation in class and the employee interviews.Activities to attract more local children who have never participated in the event,in addition to ensuring good activities,the activities of the promotion is also crucial.So I try to know the way that parents get the activity information through the questionnaire.On the other hand,I try to see the Activity promotion status through the employee interviews.Part four comes the Discussion part.I will try to offer solution and strategy according to the problems in the previous part,including enhancing activity quality,enhancing the quality of Teachers,Changing the cooperation model between the school and the local museum,developing the publicity channels.Finally is the Conclusion part,I will conclude and provide inspiration for future investigation.The insufficiency and shortcomings will also be discussed in this part.
