对科学的不同理解会直接影响到我们对幼儿科学教育的实施。如果我们只把科学理解为书本知识,那么我们的幼儿科学教育的目的就可能是传授书本知识,具体做法就可能是教师讲科学,幼儿听科学。这种教育实际上违背了科学的本质要求。科学是什么?科学是人们以严谨的态度,运用严密的方法(如观测、实验等),发现并论证关于客观世界的物质形态、结构、功能及变化发展规律的知识。科学一般包含以下几个方面的实质内容:第一,科学是求真的活动,科学是不断追求认识完善、精确的过程。这个过程包含着真理被坚持和谬误被修正。因而科学需要严谨、公正的态度,需要人们不盲从权威、富有批判创新精神。第二,科学需要运用严密的方法。科学是项很精确的工 Different understanding of science will directly affect our implementation of science education for young children. If we only understand science as a book of knowledge, the purpose of our child science education may be to impart knowledge of books, which may be explained by teachers in science and toddler science. This kind of education actually violates the essential requirements of science. What is science?

Science generally contains the following aspects of the substance: First, science is truth-seeking activities, science is the constant pursuit of understanding of the perfect and accurate process. This process involves the truth being upheld and the fallacies corrected.
