Reflections on educational reform supporting build China into a world leader in science and technology

Building a science & technology’s world leader is an important goal for China by 2035, how to build a strong country in science and technology - high-level scientific talent is the fundamental supporting factor. Historically, Germany, the United States and Japan, three late-developing catching-up countries in the process of moving towards a scientific and technological power, have successfully implemented high-level scientific talent training initiatives, ultimately promoting the strong rise of science and technology. According to the experience of the three countries, the cultivation of high-level scientific talents is mainly achieved through major reforms in education, especially research-oriented education reform. At present, China is entering a new stage of development in building a scientific and technological power, the domestic and international development situation is more severe, and the law of science and technology itself is evolving at an accelerated pace, which puts forward new requirements for the cultivation of high-level scientific talents, and education reform is imperative. In comparison with the experience of Germany, the United States and Japan, China's current high-level research-oriented education still has many problems, it is difficult to support self-reliance and self-improvement in science & technology and build China into a world leader in science & technology. To sum up the history and face the reality, it is suggested that China should establish the concept of "integration of science and education" as soon as possible, promote education reform under the traction of scientific and technological needs, comprehensively sort out and reshape the positioning of universities, accelerate the reform of high-level research education, and increase the reform of primary and secondary education to prepare for the cultivation of high-level scientific talents in a comprehensive and systematic way.

Wings of Fire: A Fascinating Journey from the Local to the Global

Wings of Fire is an autobiography of APJ Abdul Kalam. It portrays the story of Kalam, who later became an accomplished scientist who led India’s efforts towards developing missiles and conducting space exploration. This paper examines Kalam's life story as a fascinating example of a shift from the local to the universal and explores how Kalam's upbringing and schooling in a small hamlet influenced his ideals and way of thinking, as well as how he later rose to prominence in India's scientific and technological community. The study also examines Kalam's involvement in promoting education and renewable energy in India, in addition to his contributions to the advancement of missile and space technology. It also shows how Kalam's story is representative of India's broader story of becoming a world leader in science and technology. Additionally, it might look at how Kalam's leadership and principles affected others and motivated a generation of scientists and leaders in India and beyond. Finally, the piece may be concluded by discussing the lessons that can be drawn from Kalam's journey, and how they can be applied to promote social and economic growth in other contexts.

China’s Experience in Building up Science literacy: Implications for Poverty reduction and fighting against pandemic

China was a world leader in science and technology before the 14th century. The Four great inventions such as papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder were all firstly invented by the Chinese. However, Chinese society didn’t view science and technology as important as arts, literature, and public administration. While the western countries used gunpowder to make weapons and compasses for navigation, the Chinese used them for fun. Gunpowder for fireworks. China was a very superstitious society until 100 years ago when the words of science and democracy were first introduced to China.

Challenges and Attitude towards Research among Physicians of Bangladesh: A Cross Sectional Questionnaire Survey.

In the history of human civilization, research has played a significant role. There is no doubt that meeting the challenges of the 21st century will be tough if we are not world leaders in science and technology. The objective of this study was to assess physicians' attitude about research and the challenges they confront when doing research. From July to December 2020, a cross-sectional questionnaire survey was performed among physicians in Bangladesh. The questionnaire poll had 626 responses in total. There were 55.6 % female physicians and 44.4% male physicians among them. The majority of physicians (87.6%) felt that conducting research is critical to become a specialist. Research methodology training at the medical colleges are extremely beneficial, according to a substantial percentage of physicians (72.2%). Research methodology should be included in undergraduate curriculum, according to 89% of physicians. Research is beneficial as it aids critical thinking and policy implementation, according to almost all respondents (96.7%). The majority of respondents cited insufficient research training (92%), insufficient funding (92.2%), insufficient time (61%), insufficient familiarity with statistical analysis (88%), insufficient skill to design and conduct a research project and write a scientific paper (90%), as barriers to research. Priority on teaching and clinical practices over research and lack of interest to do research also mentioned by 93.3% and 61% responded respectively. Consequently, this study identified challenges and attitude of physicians towards research. This finding will guide for further studies to find out effective interventions to address the obstacles raised by research participants.

Science slashed in 2020 budget proposal

For the third time in his presidency, Donald J. Trump has proposed major cuts to US science programs. The funding reductions would have a devastating effect on research if implemented in fiscal year 2020. However, those slashes are likely to be ignored by Congress, which has the final say in federal funding. For 2019, Trump also put forward deep cuts to science agencies across the board, but Congress instead increased funding for most agencies. Just last month, Trump touted US dominance in science and technology, Rush Holt, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, points out. “For the United States to remain a world leader in science and technology research and innovation, the budget should match the rhetoric,” he says. “We urge Congress to act in the public’s best interest and fund critical investments in research.” Overall, the president proposed 9% cuts in nondefense discretionary spending, which

A Comparative Study of Differences between Chinese and American Family Educational Approaches

Education is not only a science but an art. During the children's entire education, school education is in a dominant position but family education plays a key role. Children's growth needs education, help, and guide from parents. With the development of Chinese society and economy, the importance of family education of children grows more and more significant. But because of cultural traditions, lifestyle, social customs, ideas and sense of heritage, family education in China is still a weak part. The traditional concept of family education is being challenged. And many parents lack understanding of physiological and psychological development of the children during their growth, and lack proper education and effective methods to face the different stages of children's development. Consequently, parents tend to miss crucial educational opportunities. With different history, culture and social economic conditions between China and America, the formations of family education are producing a huge impact. American high level of culture and education also determines the United States the world leader in science and technology. The US has not only advanced school education but advanced family education, and their advanced educational concepts and teaching approaches are in line so that we can learn from American family education in a lot of places.Through questionnaire investigation and contrastive analysis, this thesis studies the differences between Chinese and American family educational approaches by three main aspects of intellectual education, moral and physical education, and life education. Firstly, this thesis discusses the reasons on the historical and cultural backgrounds and social conditions. Then this thesis describes the specific performance including the different status and contents, the comparison of parenting methods. In the end, this thesis has a brief summary of advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and American family educational approaches. This thesis tries to briefly describes and compares the intellectual education, moral and physical education and life education. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is in order to improve the quality of our family education. By studying the differences of family educational style between China and America, we do not mean to belittle our Chinese family education but is a kind of reflection. Absorbing American family education's advantages and removing the disadvantages of our family education style as well as keep our Chinese traditional merits of family education could make a benign circulation of healthy personnel training in our country. Thus, we could gain a competitive advantage in the future competition and gradually adapt to the world trend of the future.

A vision of hope for US domestic and international health policy

‘The time has come – this year, in this new Administration – to modernize our health care system for the twenty-first century; to reduce costs for families and businesses; and to finally provide affordable, accessible health care for every American.’ Barack Obama, President-elect of the United States, 11 December 2008 ‘It's time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and worked to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology.’ Barack Obama, President-elect of the United States, 20 December 2008 With the election of a youthful, inspirational and first-ever African American to the Presidency of the United States, voters in this robust democracy asserted a collective intention to change the way government responds to their needs. These changes signal the end of an incompetent administration that presided over an unwinnable war; permitted ill-advised economic policies that led to recession; allowed environmental policies that ignored global warming; supported foreign policies that alienated US friends and foes alike; fought against science policies that could stimulate innovation; blurred the boundaries of state and church with ‘faith-based initiatives’; and failed to reform a healthcare system that left us with 47 million uninsured and an unmanaged health budget. With the January inauguration, Americans recaptured a moral compass for their governance. This compass is even more important given the concurrent, horrendous global economic downturn. Even with the economic crisis and war in Iraq, health reform was on the minds of US voters last November, and it is now squarely on the agenda of the new administration. This article frames a few of the issues germane to the health and science agenda for this administration, and it will summarize some of the major recommendations now being made to President Obama. With a large sigh of relief from the scientific community, …

Science and technology policy management in China

PurposeScience and technology is the bedrock in developing a knowledge‐based economy. Immense changes will be spawned by the development of science and technology. Today, China's remarkable growth has brought a great interest to the rest of the world in fostering her economic development through scientific research and technology acquisition. Whether China will be the world leader in science and technology remains a puzzle. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges of the science and technology development in strengthening China's economic growth. In this context, the purpose of the study is to provide a conceptual framework for the strategic management of science and technology policy in China.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted based on the past and present observations and literature review.FindingsAlthough the concept of “policy for science” plays a pivotal role in the technology progress in China, the concept of “science for policy” should be emphasized. Hence, a unified policy framework where the concepts of “science for policy” and “policy for science” have to be incorporated and synchronized in tackling the challenges faced by current practices.Originality/valueThe commitment in developing an “innovation‐oriented society” in the twenty‐first century, it is essential to lay the foundation for the framework to understand the science and technology policy management in stimulating the Chinese economic growth. The framework could be served as the basis for policy formulation and policy analysis.

US science and technology: An uncoordinated system that seems to work

The US has emerged as the world leader in science and technology research and development in the 60 years following World War II. This status is due, in part, to a successful public–private partnership in research and higher education fostered after the war, and to the fiercely competitive and innovative nature of US industry. This paper provides some background to the complexities of US federal funding of research and development, as well as a brief history of US science and technology policy following World War II. The paper describes how research is managed and funded in the US; outlines how the US federal government interacts with universities and private industry; remarks on the nature of international cooperation; and comments on the future direction of US science and technology policy, including growing challenges to its position of leadership.

A Less Pessimistic View of U.S. Science Funding

Regarding J. M. Gentile's letter “Keeping the U.S. a world leader in science” (13 July, p. [194][1]), readers would do well to examine my entire address to the AAAS Science Policy Forum (available at ). In my talk, I expressed alarm that the nation's research capacity in

Keeping the U.S. a World Leader in Science

John Marburger's recent, somewhat cranky statement that U.S. researchers need to rely more on private philanthropy and industry to expand the scientific enterprise (“U.S. science adviser tells researchers to look elsewhere,” J. Mervis, News of the Week, 11 May, p. [817][1]) provides a sobering revelation that the United States has begun to stumble as a world leader in science and technology. Failure to correct this situation will result in incalculable losses in terms of future U.S. economic well-being. We at Research Corporation, America's first foundation for science advancement (begun in 1912), would like to say we stand ready to heed Marburger's marching orders. We'd like to boldly step forward to fund U.S. scientific research, so that the administration could continue to cut taxes for the rich and focus taxpayer dollars elsewhere, including the reported $9 billion or so it spends every month in Iraq. Alas, we can't. Our $170 million endowment, even when combined with those of our sister science advancement foundations, isn't likely to meet all the needs of U.S. researchers left high and dry by flat federal funding. In 2004, the top 50 private U.S. foundations awarding science and technology grants distributed just under $456 million ([1][2]). This sum pales in comparison to the impact and importance of federal dollars. Today's flat federal funding means that many bright young researchers will be forced out of promising science careers in the coming decade unless something is done. Eventually, some may choose to go elsewhere to do science; China, Korea, and India are grand examples of countries ramping up their basic research efforts. Young Americans with advanced degrees in physics, chemistry, and other hard sciences doubtless would be resilient enough to adapt to these intriguing cultures as they enriched their foreign corporate and government sponsors. These developments couldn't have come at a worse time. In today's world, where humanity's knowledge base continues to expand at a frenetic pace, the technological fruits of scientific research have never been more important to economic development and national security. Last year, the Task Force on the Future of American Innovation reported survey results that indicated 70% of the public supports increasing federal funding by 10% a year for the next seven years for university research in science and engineering. The same survey showed that 49% of the electorate believes the United States' ability to compete economically in the world has grown worse over the past few years. Unless we quickly come to an understanding that a simple-minded scheme to privatize scientific research, incrementally or otherwise, will not work, I fear that the nightmare of the United States as a scientifically developing-world nation could become a reality. 1. 1.[↵][3] The Foundation Center, Statistical Information Service (see [http://foundationcenter.org/findfunders/statistics/pdf/04\_fund\_sub/2004/50\_found\_sub/f\_sub\_u_04.pdf][4]).

Scientific Illiteracy and the Partisan Takeover of Biology

Scientific Illiteracy and the Partisan Takeover of Biology

Science literacy for the twenty-first century

This outstanding collection of essays is authored by eminent scientists and science educators, including Bruce Alberts, Howard Gardner, Margaret Geller, Stephen Jay Gould, George A. Keyworth, Lawrence M. Krauss, Leon Lederman, Sheila Tobias, and James Trefil. It provides suggestions for enhancing science education in the United States and improving the standards of scientific literacy throughout the world. If current trends continue, in the 21st century, new scientific information will probably outpace the level of science education of most of the world's citizens. Nonetheless, all citizens in this increasingly interdependent global community will be called on to face many daunting questions that this knowledge will raise, ranging from the sustainability of our global environment to new moral dilemmas created by such technologies as cloning and recombinant gene therapy. As the world leader in science and technology, the United States, now more than ever, must raise the level of scientific literacy among its citizens to ensure that wise and responsible decisions about the uses and possible misuses of science are made. Unfortunately, our educational system is now suffering from a shortage of science teachers, and many of those already teaching science need to be better qualified. Furthermore, our science curriculum must be designed to teach our children to be conversant with and to think critically about the complex scientific issues they will face as adults. Finally, our high schools need to be in a position to offer all students a world-class science foundation, which prepares them to pursue scientific training at the university level if they so choose.

CLINTON PUSHES FOR R&D JUMP

President Clinton has finally made the kind of budget proposal for fiscal 2001 that scientists and engineers have been hoping for. Research and development spending would rise more than 3%, to $85.3 billion, compared with the current fiscal year, if Congress goes along with the Administration's request, and funding for basic research would rise a huge 6.8%, to $20.3 billion. White House science adviser Neal F. Lane is obviously pleased at the size of the proposed increase. The budget plots a bold course of strategic growth and prosperity through discovery, Lane says. substantially increases the university-based research that will ensure a strong workforce in the 21st century. It also maintains the U.S. position as the world leader in science and technology. Clinton continued his practice of pulling together the civilian R&D funds from federal agencies and calling it the 21st Century Research Fund. Totaling $42.9 billion, this fund would rise $2.9 billion and is ...
