520 Are the images of science held by learners the same across
cultures? What are the implications for science education?
This book explores the nature of science from a cultural
perspective. Located in the Chinese cultural context, the
book examines the nexus between characteristics of Chinese
thinking and the understanding of the nature of science in
Chinese traditional culture. The dramatic cultural change
as a result of the introduction of Western culture was
accompanied by the dramatic reconstruction of the image of
science. The Chinese science education echoes the
understanding of the nature of science in each cultural
historical period. Reflecting the tension and dilemmas of
understanding the nature of science at the policy making
level, the images of science held by Chinese science
teachers represent a mixture of influences by values and
beliefs that are embedded in the imported science and by
Chinese native cultural beliefs. The book concludes with
suggestions of change of practice in science education for
a more realistic image of science not only within the
field of education but also in society at large.
