崇尚科学,营造纯洁的精神家园

学校是学生自己的家.在这个家里,不仅要能保护好学生的身体安全,让学生生活安定温馨,更要使学生心理上、精神上健康发展,不受腐朽龌龊东西的侵蚀,实现性本洁来还洁去的育人理想.     

崇尚科学,做怀疑的探索者

编者按:这是CSICOP组织中国理事林自新先生提供给第三届世界怀疑论者大会的书面发言.他因身体的原因未能参会.林自新先生自七十年代起,就致力于反对特异功能和伪科学的工作,在他任中国科技情报所所长之职时,就向中国公众介绍了世界怀疑论运动情况,并邀请了美国CSICOP组织访华,在中国摆上了向特异人挑战的擂台.之后,在任&;lt;科技日报&;gt;社长、总编之职时,又组织大量文章批评、揭露特异功能和伪科学.因为他卓有成效的工作和他的贡献、学识,他获得了国际怀疑论组织颁发给他的奖牌.这篇文章就记录了他三十多年来所经历的伪科学事件及他的思考. ……     

崇尚科学提高全民科学素质

胡锦涛总书记提出的“八荣八耻”,把“以崇尚科学为荣,以愚昧无知为耻”放在第3位,可见其重要性。因为头两位“热爱祖国”、“服务人民”是每一个中国公民必备的基本道德,“危害祖国”、“背离人民”是犯罪行为。而“愚昧无知”在过去极左思潮的长期影响下,特别是在“知识愈多愈反动”的年代里,不仅不是耻辱,反而是光荣。改革开放以来,我们逐步树立起了科学技术是第一生产力、科学思想是第一精神力量的正确观念,逐步认识到了科学对社会主义现代化建设的关键性作用,愚昧无知导致落后、导致贫穷、甚至导致邪教滋生、危及社会稳定和国家安全。…     

崇尚科学拒绝伪科学

伪科学(Pseudoscience)一词出现于1844年。我们今天称之为伪科学的许多东西在历史上与科学曾有着千丝万缕的联系,如占星术之于天文学,炼金术之于化学。但是历史上的占星术和炼金术都不是伪科学,只有在科学值得冒充之后,它们有意识地冒充科学才可算是伪科学。面对社会上的日渐泛滥的伪科学,我们不得不提高警惕,利用科学的方法揭露伪科学的真面目。我们迫在眉睫的任务是提高全民族的科学文化素质,提倡科学精神,拒绝伪科学。     

以崇尚科学为荣

胡锦涛主席提出的“八荣八耻”说,与本刊关系最密切的,是“以崇尚科学为荣,以愚昧无知为耻”。科学和愚昧无知相对立,因为科学是求知的事业。无论是人类群体还是个人,不断求知,变无知为有知,都是不断进步的契机。人类的进步,归根到底,就是知识的进步。人类,这个来到地球上较晚甚至是最晚的客人,之所以能够成为地球的主人,就是因为它能     

崇尚科学——美国无神论

现代西方文明是基督教与古希腊文明相撞击、相融合的结果。基督教在西方社会的作用是巨大的,我们常常把它看作维持社会秩序的强大力量。但是还有与它相对的一种力量,它直接承袭了古希腊理性的精神,在社会发展中所起的作用也同样不容忽视。——无神论就秉持了这种精神。由于基督教在其社会生活中的统治作用,无神论并没有得到社会广泛的认可,这当然     

开创科学与人文相互沟通的健康局面

近一二年来,发生在学界的关于“科学普及”内涵与外延的一场学术争论。这对于活跃学术争鸣的氛围,促进我国的科普事业发展都是有益处的。这场争论,论战双方对科普的内涵外延作了种种的阐释和论争。归结起来,是传统科普和通过公众理解科学的科学传播之争。这场争论,不是语义的论争,也不是概念的论争。实质上涉及科学与人文的分隔和交融问题。这场关于“科学普及”的论战是近十来年中流行的反科学主义时尚的一种集中表现。近年来,我国学界在倡导科学精神的同时,还     

科学之魂——谈科学家崇尚科学精神

由于职业的关系,作为一位科普期刊记者的我常和科学家们打交道。走进这支特殊群体的内心世界,他们向我吐露心扉,为我讲述他们毕生执著追求的科技事业。我这才得知他们的故事很精彩。我常常把他们美誉为“金字塔上的人物”,这是因为这些科学家们用他们的卓而不群的智慧,将呕心沥血的科研成果广泛应用于实际生产当中,推动了中国乃至世界的生产力的发展。他们是最可爱的人。我常常思索这么一个问题:是什么样的一种力量支撑着这些科学家们投入到物我两忘、宠辱不惊的伟大的科技事业?继而,为了全人类生产力的发展,为全人类谋求一个和谐、幸福、和…     

崇尚科学，共铸社会新风貌

最近,根据胡锦涛总书记提出的关于“八荣八耻”的重要论述,全国全民正在开展社会主义荣辱观的宣传教育。“八荣八耻”是一面引领社会风尚的旗帜。我们坚信,以“八荣八耻”为价值标准,对于公民个体进行道德遵循,规范言行,砥砺精神;对于社会,将其与整个思想道德建设、社会主

A Practical Procedure to Build a Knowledge Structure

Computerized assessment of knowledge is one of the most promising applications of knowledge space theory. The first requirement of any such assessment is to produce as accurate a picture as possible of the organization of the knowledge. So far, all procedures designed for this purpose rely exclusively on the query of an expert. Several experiments have shown the limitations of that approach in realistic conditions. One source of difficulty is the very high sensitivity of the querying algorithms to an expert's mistakes. Another source of difficulty concerns the validity of the expert: His or her knowledge structure may diverge greatly from the knowledge structure of the actual population. To solve these difficulties, the present paper proposes and simulates a two-step procedure. The first step implements a modification of an existing querying procedure. The modification implements an error-handling mechanism which lowers the incidence of an expert's careless errors. The second step consists in a refinement mechanism which relies on the knowledge assessments of many subjects to refine the very structure used by these assessments. For each step, it is shown that the underlying knowledge structure can be recovered. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

儿童科学世界观的培养需要教育的合力

一、调查目的: 培养学生科学世界观的基础是学校教育的任务之一.党和国家历来重视青少年科学世界观的培养,但由于学校、社会、家庭教育中还存在一些问题,一些学生的科学世界观仍出现了偏差,因此,我们对部分小学的高年级学生做了问卷调查,力图分析产生偏差的原因,解决实际问题.     

Comparing Teachers' Literacy-Related Knowledge to Their State's Standards for Reading

This study compared elementary and special education teachers' knowledge of when K–3 students develop key reading competencies, their knowledge of who is responsible for teaching K–3 students key reading competencies, and teachers' perceptions of their own instructionally relevant competencies to those standards articulated within their state's blueprint for reading achievement. Results reveal a disconnect between teacher-held beliefs and state-articulated grade-level student literacy competencies. Results also suggest that teacher preparation programs are not preparing candidates to achieve mastery of essential teacher competencies articulated within their state's reading blueprint. Strengthening the accountability of teacher preparation practices to states' reading blueprint standards is recommended.     

Knowledge,Attitude, and Practice of Clerical Students with Respect to HIV/AIDS in Iran, 2011

In this study, knowledge and attitude of Iranian clerical students toward HIV and AIDS was assessed. Through a cross-sectional study, 367 clerical students were surveyed, in convenience sampling method, in the Qom seminary in 2011, utilizing a self-administered structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was piloted on 20 clerical student volunteers, internal consistency measured with Cronbach’s alpha was 0.89. Participants’ scores of knowledge and attitude were calculated out of 100. The level of knowledge in 37.33 % of participants was good (scores >80), whereas 46.05 and 16.62 % had moderate (40 < scores ≤ 80) and poor (scores ≤40) levels of knowledge, respectively. The mean score of knowledge and attitude was 58.29 (95 % CI 56.11–60) and 77.26 (95 % CI 75.92–78.59) out of 100, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between level of knowledge and attitude (r = 0.33, P < 0.001). Knowledge score appeared to be significantly higher in women compared to men (p = 0.04). With an increase in age, the level of knowledge significantly decreased (r = ?0.10, P = 0.02). We could also detect a statistically significant relationship between attending educational courses on HIV/AIDS and inclusion of HIV/AIDS topics in the individual’s sermons (P < 0.001). Although clerical students had shown some sort of positive attitudes toward HIV, their knowledge still needs to be improved to enable them to deliver more accurate information to the community during the course of their speeches. Having HIV-related courses as part of their curriculum or aside may contribute a lot to this.
