科學素養教育在澳門──中學自然科學基本學力要求研制過程追述

The notion of scientific literary is a buzzword across the international community of science education and has become a central goal of science curricula of primary and secondary schools in many countries and regions. It is essential to explore the issue of embedding this idea into the various forms of school science curricula. Based on personal experiences of designing the Requirements of Basic Academic Attainments of Natural Sciences for Junior and Senior Secondary Schools at Macau, this paper recalled the processes of defining the curriculum ideas, curriculum goals and curriculum contents in the view of scientific literacy. When embedding scientific literacy into science curriculum documents, it is suggested in the last part of this paper that a holistic consideration should be given to the reality, the future development and teaching traditions.
