Comparison Research of Scientific Thinking Cultivation in Primary and Secondary Education Between Ontario and China

Abstract

Cultivation of scientific thinking has become an important goal in the development of primary and secondary schools in various countries. Although the cultivation of scientific thinking has been widely recognized in China, there are still shortcomings in the overall observation and research of the cultivation of scientific thinking in primary and secondary schools. In order to compare the current situation of scientific thinking education in China, this paper concludes the current situation and challenges faced by China in cultivating scientific thinking for primary and secondary school students, and Ontario's advantages in cultivating scientific thinking from the theoretical, policy and implementation levels. Through the comparative study of the two places, this paper suggests the model of scientific thinking training in Ontario primary and secondary schools can be used for Chinese primary and secondary school scientific thinking.
