摘要

On the whole, philosophers of science have until recently not pursued issues within their purview which connect with, or have implications for, science education. This neglect of science education, while benign in intent, has almost certainly had deleterious educational consequences. It has had non-trivial philosophical costs as well, because science education, I will argue, provides a fertile ground against which philosophical views of science can themselves be tested. Philosophers are often well placed to challenge educational orthodoxies, to clarify conceptual ambiguities upon which the latter sometimes rest, and, in doing so, to pave the way for more defensible educational thinking and more effective pedagogical practice. This is especially true in the case of science education. Contemporary scholarly literature in science education is dominated by philosophical issues. Discussions of realism, relativism, rationality, multiculturalism, and religion, as these are manifested in or relate to science, share space in science education journals with a host of other issues traditionally pursued by philosophers of science, including those concerning the nature of science and of scientific method, the logic of scientific inference, the character of scientific explanation, and so on. Despite the obvious relevance of their collective expertise to these issues, philosophers of science have for the most part neglected science education as an arena in which to contribute.
