Recently, on the playground of Qingdao Road Middle School in the Shanhaitian Tourist Resort in Rizhao, Shandong Province, applause and cheers erupted as students successfully launched their homemade "Boya" rocket. The science experiment scene that arouses students' interest in this way is a vivid epitome of Rizhao's innovative mechanism to do a good job in science education "addition" since becoming one of the first batch of science education experimental zones for primary and secondary schools in China in early 2024, gathering resources, building ecology, and strengthening investment, creating science education without "walls", and jointly promoting the integration of science and education development. Bi directional rush: integrating science and education to build a "new field" for science education. "Doing a good job in science education 'addition' cannot be done alone. Collaborating to activate dispersed high-quality resources and building a clear and easy-to-use resource network is the breakthrough point to solve the problems and difficulties of science education," said Pan Mingfu, member of the Party Group and Chief Inspector of the Education Bureau of Rizhao City. On the basis of promoting the construction of experimental zones throughout the region, Rizhao has established a science education work team led by the municipal government and composed of multiple departments such as education, science and technology association, and finance. The Municipal Education Bureau has deepened its linkage with the Municipal Science and Technology Museum, universities, research institutions, innovative enterprises, and student families to create a "new scene" of collaborative education. Today, the tour guide from the science museum enthusiastically demonstrated, guided, and introduced to us, from the mysteries of the universe to the wonders of life. It was so interesting At the weekly "Science Class in the Science Museum", Wang Juntang, a student from Xinying Primary School in Rizhao City, sincerely sighed. The science courses in science museums have been listed as a practical project for the people in Rizhao City in 2024. This is another practical measure taken by Rizhao City to continuously strengthen scientific and educational cooperation and integration, and promote collaborative education in science and education since its establishment as a national "museum school cooperative science education pilot city". As one of the "Museum School Cooperation Base Schools" jointly built by the city, Xinying Primary School in Rizhao regularly brings science education practice classes into the city's science and technology museum. Students brought their course learning questions to the science museum and embarked on a journey of "scientific exploration and discovery", achieving effective utilization of resources. At present, there are a total of 70 'museum school cooperation base schools' in the city that go both ways, jointly build and promote, in addition to 219 science popularization education bases at or above the city level Jie Zhiguo, a member of the Party Group, Vice Chairman, and second level researcher of the Rizhao Association for Science and Technology, said. Within reach: Let students move from textbooks to practical life. A LEGO assembled model of an "underground garage flood prevention and rainwater recycling system" is prominently displayed in the science laboratory of Jinhai Coast Primary School in Rizhao City. Under the guidance of the teacher, fifth grade student Kui Jihong is upgrading it. The model has just won the first prize in the Shandong Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. "This achievement is all thanks to the 'family laboratory,'" said Wang Peng, a science teacher at the school. The "home laboratory" referred to by Wang Peng is an innovative project in which students utilize their parents' familiar fields to conduct scientific experiments using locally sourced materials at home, in order to promote the cultivation of students' interest in science. At present, there are nearly 300 such "home laboratories" in Rizhao City. Children's curiosity, imagination, and desire for exploration require the joint care of schools, families, and society. To do a good job in this science education 'must answer questions', family education cannot be lacking Pan Zhengye, the head of the Basic Education Department of the Education Bureau of Rizhao City, stated that Rizhao actively expands the "home school community" scientific education space, constructs a "school led, family participated, and social supported" model, and guides students from textbooks to family and life practice. For many years, Rizhao City has been committed to breaking down the digital barriers of regional science education, striving to solve the problem of uneven resource allocation, and prioritizing the allocation of science experience resource packages, technology caravans, science popularization courses and other resources to county-level and township schools, creating a science popularization "cloud classroom" and "technology window", and lighting up the "science dream" of generations of children in the mountains. Moreover, Rizhao City continues to increase its investment in scientific and educational technology support and hardware guarantee. Invest 81.76 million yuan to build urban and rural laboratories and science functional classrooms; Investing over 60 million yuan to build 94 artificial intelligence laboratories and offering artificial intelligence courses; Invest 3 million yuan to renovate the city's education metropolitan area network, achieving a total of 10 gigabit to districts and counties, 1 gigabit to schools, and 1 gigabit to classrooms throughout the city; Invest 6.37 million yuan to build the Rizhao Education Cloud Platform, providing platform support for the digital transformation of basic education in the city. Interdisciplinary collaboration: While building a vertically and horizontally connected technological "bridge" to broaden the educational scene, the integration of new concepts, technologies, and fields of interdisciplinary curriculum resources is gradually becoming more abundant, providing students with a vertically and horizontally connected and integrated technological "bridge". The spirit of scientists, rooted in the great practice of China's scientific and technological undertakings, is a valuable resource for nurturing children's growth Li Zhiyi, the director of Rizhao Science and Technology Museum, said. Based on the advantages of the Municipal Science and Technology Museum and the spiritual resources of scientist Ding Zhaozhong, Rizhao has hired Mr. Ding Zhaozhong, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics, as the honorary principal of Rizhao No.1 High School, integrating the education of scientist spirit into the entire process of talent cultivation. At the same time, the city deeply explores the elements of scientist spirit education in various subject courses and organically integrates them into science education content. Organize students to participate in online and offline presentations such as "Academician Science and Humanities Course" and "Young Scientists Science and Technology Frontier Course", and carry out activities to promote the spirit of scientists on campus. After sowing the spiritual "seeds" of scientists, how can we nourish their groundbreaking growth? Rizhao promotes schools to use curriculum reform as a carrier, infiltrate science education content into subject teaching, carry out interdisciplinary science education courses, and give students a "key to scientific innovation": Lanshan District promotes project-based learning in schools, drives learning and practice through problem-solving, and cultivates students' habits of scientific exploration; Juxian County has established various maker laboratories and integrated curriculum development with club activities; Shanhaitian Tourist Resort is based on the characteristics and training objectives of students in different stages, developing science and technology innovation school-based courses, and scientifically arranging advanced courses. At present, all primary and secondary schools in Rizhao city have developed no less than 10 school-based science education courses, forming a science curriculum resource library divided into stages, topics, and fields. Among them, the marine science popularization education textbook "Blue Home - Marine Education" organized and compiled by the Municipal Education Bureau has been fully launched in grades three to eight throughout the city. This series of actions to improve the quality and efficiency of science education within the school have linked together basic, developmental, expanded, and innovative science education curriculum resources, gradually building a hierarchical science education system that integrates knowledge, ability, quality, and literacy, creating fertile soil for the rooting and germination of science education. Next, we will rely on the construction of science education experimental zones in primary and secondary schools across the country, and strive to explore new mechanisms and paths for cross regional and cross disciplinary collaborative development of science education, providing students with more space for scientific learning and practical scenarios Zhao Lizhao, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Rizhao Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Rizhao Education Bureau, stated.
