科研素养对高中生的意义
虽然不是每一个学生都要专研于科学技术研究，成为某个领域的科学家，但不成为科学家，不代表不需要拥有科研素养。科研素养的培养对于学生，尤其是高中这个衔接高等教育的时期的学生，显得尤为重要。
1
科研素养之学会深度思考
著名科学家爱因斯坦曾说：“学习知识要善于思考，思考，再思考，我就是靠这个方法成为科学家的。”爱因斯坦连用三个“思考”来说明思考的重要性。学生的科学探究能力与其科学思考的深度密切相关。德国著名剧作家歌德曾说过“谁不用脑子去思考，到头来他除了感觉之外将一无所有。”世界著名的科学家、作家都是经过思考形成自己对知识的重新解读，进而形成新的创作品和知识体系的。[1]
很多高中生在申请国外大学时，在面试环节可能会发现面试官非常注重科研经历。却不知，面试官看重的从不是科研经历，而是科研思维。换句话说，在申请中拼的不是科研经历，而是底层的深入思考、钻研和运用。也就是说，拼的是对问题的一种思考过程和认识深度。这也是项目式学习（PBL）风靡全球的原因。在京领《“高水准”的PBL应该怎么做？》一文中提到在项目式学习的过程中，学生有充分的机会修改、反思和改进想法，他们学着像历史学家那样思考，学着用构建科学模型来解释世界是如何运作的。[1]
对于高中阶段的学生来说，摆在第一位的最佳学习方式并不是背书和尝试，而是投入到项目式学习的实践中，以及留出时间来进行深度思考。[1]
2
科研素养之奠定领导力
十年前，科研界所流行的文化是“成败沉浮全凭自己”。但如今，欧美的学术机构也开始投入资源，培养青年科研人员获得职业生涯发展所需的技能，其中，最首要的任务就是领导能力的培养。[2]因为完成一项科研项目往往不能仅凭一己之力，或许很多人在谈到科研这个话题时，首先想到的都是一个人的学术能力是否能够胜任某个项目或课题，但往往被忽略的还有科研学者的领导力。对于青少年学子而言，能够在科研中培养出来的领导力也能帮助他们计划、组织学习和生活中的各项事务。
3
科研素养之激发创造力
在学术研究中培养的科研素养恰恰能够激发学生的创造力。在一篇关于科研方法的论文中，作者指出：“科学研究没有确定的规则和标准，也没有准确的预期结果。基础研究的意义在于发现未知，解决那些尚不存在答案的问题。研究有时不会按照计划进行，甚至会发现意料之外的问题。在当代研究中，科研问题往往极为复杂，需要越来越多的跨学科合作。”[3]
作者把材料科学作为跨学科创新性研究的例子。材料科学的研究中会涉及化学、生物学、物理、数学以及许多工程类领域，研究团队需要创造性地使用其它学科的知识或研究方法来解决问题。这种复杂的问题要求科研人员可以创造性地结合不同学科领域。[4]
青少年如何参与科研
中国家长素来重视子女的教育，青少年应尽早融入飞速发展的科技大潮中。如何让更多青少年尽早培养科技素养、锤炼创新意识，成为未来中国的国际化创新性人才，是我们必须认真探讨的课题。[5]
其实，所谓的科研并不是一定要和研究员或者学者一样参与高深复杂的科研项目。培养学生科研能力的方式有很多种，可以体现在课程设置、学校科研活动以及针对青少年开放的导师科研项目。
1
国际学校科研意识培养
国际学校（包括双语、外籍学校）可以说是作为培养高中生科研素养的代表性案例。对于国际学校学子而言，进行科研活动是为了实现留学申请的背景提升，同时，国际学校注重对于学生全方面发展的培养，这也是国际教育独有的教育优势。所以，在课程设置与硬件设施配备上，很多国际学校投入巨大。
许多致力于打造科研特色的国际学校为培养学生的科研能力提供大量支持，下文中节选了部分具有代表性的科研优势名校为案例，展现国际高中科研特色。
华南师范大学附属中学国际部
华南师范大学附属中学国际部，此前系2004年广东省教育厅批准成立的华师附中国际基础课程中心，于2009年初正式更名为华南师范大学附属中学国际部，以下简称HFI（华附国际部）。HFI的国际课程教育始于2004年由华南师范大学附属中学与英国北方大学联合会联合开设的一年制IFY英澳预科（2004-2019）。2009年3月，在成功开设IFY英澳预科五年后，经美国大学理事会（College Board）授权批准，HFI开办了华南地区首个AP美式高中。[6]
华附国际部则以社团的形式——科学狂人社（简称科狂社），将诸多科学爱好者们齐聚一室。思想于此碰撞，奏出未来的交响。科狂社面向所有同学并且致力于培养每一位成员的科学兴趣与综合科学素养。
社团定期举行各类与科学有关的讲座，以及各种各样十分有意思的科学小实验，辅以一些关于实验的报告以记录实验。[7]值得注意的是，对于实验课题的选择，科狂社别有一番心思，多选择与广州人民生活息息相关的实验。由于广州温暖多雨，蚊虫较多，科狂社便以此为题，每月在学校内进行对于白纹伊蚊密度的检测活动，在假期中也会不定期做一些对于广州市个别区域的蚊虫密度检测活动，并且撰写相对应的实验报告。
生活与科学的结合，带领学生们透过现象进一步了解万事万物的本质，使得他们在这一过程中不断修正改进自己的想法，学会思考与主动探索；社团形式的载体，教会了学生们科研不是一个人的独行，合作也是不可缺失的一环。

青岛梅尔顿学校
青岛梅尔顿学校前身为青岛二中剑桥国际高中，成立于2000年，是上海学领集团旗下的国际化学校，也是岛城最早从事国际教育的学校之一。
20年来，学校稳健发展，取得了优异的教学成果，获得了英国牛津AQA考试局颁发的金牌学校奖，青岛教育总评榜 “国际化·创新特色名校”等多个荣誉奖项。2020年，应集团战略规划和未来发展的需求，学校正式升级为青岛梅尔顿学校。[12]
相较于北上广发达地区，青岛梅尔顿学校也凭借着自身过硬的办学实力与澎湃激情勇立科研潮头。梅尔顿国际学校曾先后荣获2020年度“青岛教育科研创新领军学校”[13]和由全球院士论坛暨青少年科研论坛组委会颁发的 “中国国际学校科研实验校”[14]的称号。从青岛到国际，教育圈与学术界皆给予了对梅尔顿学校办学质量的肯定，对梅尔顿学生科研素养的认可。
梅尔顿无疑是具有前瞻性且充满激情的。随着疫情的持续肆虐，国际教育受到严重影响，更打乱和限制了国际学术交流和科研研究。梅尔顿为了全方位助力学生多维成长，另辟蹊径，整合全球资源，促进学术交流，在国际上寻求适合学生的科研资源和平台。由此，梅尔顿学生的身影出现在全球院士论坛暨青少年科研论坛上。
梅尔顿六大领域的课程体系与全球院士论坛上的学术领域高度契合，极大地激发了梅尔顿学生一展锋芒的激情，也让梅尔顿学生在论坛组织的六大领域论文征集和科研学术交流中勇于与国内北上广等顶级国际学校的学生（如京西，鼎石，华附国际部，深国交......）同台pk。梅尔顿学生不负众望，不仅收获了自身的学术成长，成就了同伴和自己，也摘取了国际科研学术一二等奖。[14]
正如梅尔顿曾宣告的：“我们积极为学生搭建多元的国际平台，让孩子有试错和探索的空间、帮助他们一起发掘更多的可能；我们助力学生成为终身学习者，能够始终保持开放和求知的态度不断探索；我们鼓励学生拥有独立的人格，能够感知和享受属于自己的幸福，成为更好的自己！”[14]

学校外的科研能力提升
除在学校通过课程与硬件获得科研初体验外，学生在校外也能找到更多帮助提升研究能力，思维创新的渠道。除科研能力外，如果拥有科研素养或科研经历，也能获得世界顶尖大学的青睐，因此，也就有很多竞赛类、科研项目类的活动在校外聚集了全国的优秀高中生参与，进行同台竞技。
科研赛事活动
科研赛事能够为学生提升背景，因而，很多老师与家长鼓励学生参加科研竞赛的初衷都是为了使其拥有获奖证书与证明，从而拥有获得名校青睐的机会。但其实科研竞赛的经历才能真正让学生在学术能力上“羽翼渐丰化鸿鹄，腾翔苍穹展宏图”。
在众多提升科研能力的竞赛中，全球华人学生均耳熟能详的当属丘成桐中学科学竞赛。该竞赛之所以被世界名校认可为高含金量的赛事，正是因为在竞赛过程中注重对于青少年科研能力的考验。在组队后协调分工、时间管理与资源分配的过程中，学生能够展现自身的统筹能力与领导力。在实验设计和论文写作中，学生能够展现自身科研能力与创新能力。从准备到参赛的整个过程对于高中生而言是一个最好的促进科研能力提升的机会。鼓励学生参加诸如此类的竞赛不仅是为实现获奖加分，更是为了能够让学生全方面的锻炼科研能力，提升科研素养。
诸如此类全面锻炼学生科研能力的还有启动于2021年的全球院士论坛的论文征集活动，该活动是科研赛事新秀，与一些老牌科研赛事相比，这类论坛类的科研活动赋予了学生更大的创造空间。学生们根据研究兴趣开题并形成、提交论文，可以体会到自己独立完成科研过程的乐趣。不仅如此，全国范围的优秀学生论文还将有机会被世界顶尖名校的教授批阅和评级，获得指导建议。
很多学生在研究自己感兴趣的课题中，感受到了与为了竞赛或完成学习任务完全不同的乐趣，同时，得到顶尖教授的认可也有利于青少年提升未来参与科研的信心。
导师科研项目
随着社会和学校对科研与创新的日益重视，除了参与科研活动、参赛竞技，与权威的导师一起完成科研也已成为优秀青少年提升科研能力的路径之一。国家越来越注重“素质教育”，科研教育也是素质教育的重要组成。导师引领的科研项目不同于综合性学习，目的性相对较弱，也不同于竞赛类的导向性。这种科研项目给予学生有创造力和挑战性的科研学习经历，个性化的科研项目也是难能可贵的能力培养途径之一。虽然现在国际学校对科研能力培养的投入和精力不容小觑，但不可忽视的名校师资力量才是拔高优秀学生科研能力的“筹码”。
顶尖的师资使科研高度与含金量提升，带给一个优秀学生的发展也是没有“天花板”的。资源分享难能可贵，当校园内的佼佼者被已经掌握的书本知识禁锢住的时候，大牛导师带给优秀学生的视野提升才是质的飞跃。优秀的高中生可能通过校内外的科研活动提升了学术能力，其中有的学生已经有能力完成一篇独立撰写的学生论文。但有影响力的导师带领的科研项目能让资源有限的高中生接触到全球最前沿的科研资源，这种方式培养的不仅仅是学生对科研素养的追求，更是可以坚定学生对科研道路的追求。
小结
科研经历能够让青少年提升科研兴趣、培养科研素养、助力未来发展。科技创新是社会发展的动力，青少年作为最富活力、最具创造性的群体，理应走在创新创造的前列，做锐意进取、开拓创新的时代先锋。
提升青少年科研能力在高中教育中已成必然趋势。高中阶段是人才培养的重要阶段，因此，需要让学生在高中阶段形成正确积极的科研态度，发展良好的科研素养并培养优秀扎实的科研技能；让科研经历助力学生升学和长远发展，吸引更多优质、有潜力的学生，为高等学府输送更多有科研素养的人才，提高学校整体竞争力。科技和人才竞争日趋激烈，对科学知识和优秀人才的需要比以往任何时候都更为迫切。作为具有基础性、先导性、全局性地位和作用的教育，需能跟上时代的脚步，推动社会发展的车轮滚滚向前。[15]

The Significance of Scientific Research
Literacy to High School Students
Although it’s not necessary for every student to specialize in scientific and technological research and become a scientist in a certain field, not becoming a scientist does not mean that he does not need to have scientific research literacy. The cultivation of scientific research literacy is particularly important for students, especially high school students in the period of connecting higher education.
1
Learn to think deeply
Einstein says: "Learning knowledge should be good at thinking, thinking and rethinking. That's how I became a scientist." Students' scientific inquiry ability is closely related to the depth of their scientific thinking. The famous German playwright Goethe says"Whoever does not think with his head will end up with nothing but feeling." World-renowned scientists and writers have formed their own reinterpretation of knowledge through thinking, and then formed new creations and knowledge systems.[1]
When many high school students apply for foreign universities, they may find that the interviewer pays great attention to scientific research experience during the interview process. But they don't know that the interviewer never valued scientific research experience, but scientific research thinking. In other words, the application is not about scientific research experience, but about in-depth thinking, research and application at the bottom. That is to say, spelling is a kind of thinking process and depth of understanding of the problem. This is why Project-Based Learning (PBL) has taken the world by storm. The Kinglead's article What Should A "High-level" PBL Do? mentioned that in the process of project-based learning, students have ample opportunities to revise, reflect, and improve their ideas. They learn to think like historians and learn to build scientific models to explain how the world works.[1]
For high school students, the best way to learn in the first place is not to endorse and try, but to invest in the practice of project-based learning and to set aside time for deep thinking.[1]
2
Lay leadership
Ten years ago, the prevailing culture in the scientific research community was that "success or failure is up to you". But now, academic institutions in Europe and the United States have also begun to invest resources to train young researchers to acquire the skills needed for career development, and the first task is to develop leadership skills.[2]Because it is often impossible to complete a scientific research project by oneself, perhaps when many people talk about the topic of scientific research, the first thing that comes to mind is whether a person's academic ability is competent for a certain project or topic, but what is often overlooked is the research scholars leadership. Then for young students, the leadership that can be cultivated in scientific research can also help students plan, organize learning and various affairs in life.
3
Inspire creativity
The research literacy cultivated in academic research can stimulate the creativity of students. In a paper on research methods, the authors point out, "Scientific research has no established rules and standards, and no precise expected results. The point of basic research is to discover the unknown and solve problems for which no answers exist. Research sometimes does not go according to plan, and even unexpected problems will be discovered. In contemporary research, scientific questions are often extremely complex and require more and more interdisciplinary collaboration. "[3]
The author takes materials science as an example of innovative interdisciplinary research. Research in materials science will involve chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and many engineering fields, and research teams need to creatively use knowledge or research from other disciplines or methods to solve problems. Such complex problems require researchers to creatively combine different disciplines.[4]
How Teenagers can Get Involved
in Scientific Research
Chinese parents have always attached great importance to their children's education, and young people should integrate into the rapid development of science and technology as soon as possible. How to enable more young people to cultivate scientific and technological literacy, temper their innovative consciousness as soon as possible, and become China's international innovative talents in the future is a topic that we must take seriously.[5]
In fact, the so-called scientific research does not necessarily have to participate in advanced and complex scientific research projects like researchers or scholars. There are many ways to train students in scientific research, which can be reflected in the curriculum setting, the exercise in the school's scientific research activities, and there are also many mentor research projects open to young people.

Cultivation of Scientific Research
Awareness in International Schools
International schools (including bilingual schools and schools for children of foreign personnel) can be regarded as representative cases of cultivating high school students' scientific research literacy. This is not only because the students of these schools do scientific research activities to improve the background of studying abroad, but also because of the educational advantages that students focus on in all aspects under non-traditional education. Therefore, many international schools spend a lot of energy on cultivating students' scientific research awareness in curriculum setting and hardware facilities.
Many international schools with scientific research features also provide a lot of support for cultivating students' scientific research ability. The following excerpts select some international schools with representative scientific research characteristics as cases to demonstrate the scientific research characteristics of international high schools.
International Department,
The Affiliated High School of SCNU
Huafu International Department (HFI), formerly known as the International Foundation Year Center of the High School Affiliated to South China Normal University, was officially renamed as the International Department of the High School Affiliated to South China Normal University (HFI) in early 2009. HFI's international curriculum education began in 2004 with the one-year IFY Anglo-Australian Foundation Year (2004-2019), jointly offered by High School Affiliated to South China Normal University and the Northern Consortium. In March 2009, five years after the successful opening of IFY, HFI opened the first AP American high school in South China with the authorization and approval of the College Board.[6]
HFI brings together many science enthusiasts in the form of a club, the Mad Scientist Club. This is where ideas collide to create the symphony of the future. The club is open to all students and is dedicated to developing the scientific interests and comprehensive scientific literacy of each member.
The club holds regular science-related lectures and a variety of interesting science experiments, supplemented by reports on the experiments to document them.[7] It is noteworthy that the club has a special idea for the choice of experimental topics. It chooses experiments that are closely related to the life of the Guangzhou people. As Guangzhou is warm and rainy, mosquitoes are more common, so the club conducts a monthly survey on the density of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in the school, and also does some surveys on the density of mosquitoes in some areas of Guangzhou during holidays, and writes a report on the experiment.
The combination of life and science leads students to further understand the nature of everything through the phenomenon, so that they can constantly improve their ideas in the process and learn to think and actively explore. Also, the club form teaches students that scientific research is not a solitary endeavor and that cooperation is also an indispensable part.

Shanghai SMIC Private School
Shanghai SMIC Private School is a Pre-kindergarten-Grade 12 school invested and established by the Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC Shanghai). The International Department of SMIC attaches great importance to the first experience of students on the road of scientific research. The school has invested a lot in the hardware of science laboratories, and divided into multiple types of laboratories according to disciplines. Now it has 1 biology laboratory, 1 physics laboratory, and 1 chemical laboratory. Each laboratory is further subdivided into standardized laboratories and personalized laboratories, the latter of which can provide strong support for students' research projects.[8]
SMIC acts as the leader of students on the road of scientific research, ensuring that students can move forward steadily on the road of scientific research in the future. At the same time, the school pays attention to the cultivation of students' scientific research interests, and the content of the science fair held every year is rich and colorful. The students completed a series of science experiments and demonstrations at the Science Fair. SMIC also held science theatre and science-themed quizzes. Science and technology fairs give students the opportunity to participate in science-themed challenges, aiming to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning science and technology, so as to lay a solid foundation for their future research work. [9]
With the accumulation, SMIC Shanghai has paved a solid road for the future of scientific research for students.

Milton International School
Milton International School, formerly known as Cambridge International High School of Qingdao No.2 Middle School , was founded in 2000 as an international school under the Shanghai Xueling Group, and was one of the first schools in Qingdao to engage in international education.
Over the past 20 years, Milton International School has achieved excellent teaching results and won many honorary awards such as the Oxford International AQA Examinations Gold School and the "Internationalization-Innovation Distinguished School" in the Qingdao General Education Review. In 2020, the school was officially upgraded to Milton International School in response to the Group's strategic planning and future development needs.[12]
Compared to the developed regions, like Beijing and Shanghai, Milton International School is also at the forefront of scientific research with its own strength and passion. Milton International School has been awarded the 2020 "Qingdao Education Research Innovation Leader School"[13] and the "Scientific Research Experimental Chinese International School”[14] by the Global Academician Forum and Youth Scientific Research Forum. From Qingdao to the international arena, the education and academic communities have recognized the quality of Milton's education and the research literacy of Milton's students.[14]
Milton International School is certainly forward-thinking and passionate. As the epidemic continues to rage, international education has been severely impacted, disrupting and limiting international academic exchanges and research studies. In order to help students grow multi-dimensionally in all aspects, Milton has found an alternative way to integrate global resources, promote academic exchanges, and seek internationally appropriate research resources and platforms for students. As a result, Milton students are featured in the Global Academician Forum and Youth Scientific Research Forum. The high degree of fit between the six areas of Milton's curriculum and the academic areas of the Global Academician Forum has greatly inspired Milton students to show their passion and to compete with students from top international schools in China (such as Western Academy of Beijing, Keystone Academy, HFI, Shenzhen College of International Education ......) in the call for papers and academic exchanges in the six areas organized by the Forum. The Milton students lived up to the expectations and not only gained their own academic growth and achievements, but also helped the Qingdao international education to stand out by picking up first and second place awards in international research academics.[14]
As Milton once proclaimed: "we actively build a diverse international platform for our students, giving them room for trial and error and exploration, helping them discover more possibilities together; we help them become lifelong learners, always open and inquisitive to explore; we encourage them to have an independent personality, to perceive and enjoy their own happiness, and to become better versions of themselves!"

Many international schools consider research to be essential to the development of their students. However, research is not a purely curricular subject; It is about teaching students to think deeply and to explain how the world works. In other words, outside the school, students also need to practice research outside of school to improve their research skills.

Improve Extra-Curriculum
Scientific Research Ability
In addition to the school curriculum and hardware support in the school, which can bring students some initial experience of scientific research, outside the classroom, students also have many opportunities to improve their scientific research ability and innovation ability. Because in addition to cultivating talents, scientific research ability and experience are also the most valued abilities of all top universities in the world. Therefore, there are many competitions and scientific research projects outside the school, gathering excellent high school students from all over the country to participate.
Scientific Competitions and Activities
Many teachers and parents encourage students to participate in scientific research competitions for practical reasons, and their original intention is to improve students' background and win the favor of the world's top universities by winning awards. But in fact, the experience of scientific research competition is the opportunity for students to gradually develop their scientific research abilities and then they will be able to make their ideals come true in the future.
Speaking of scientific competitions that can improve students’High School Science Award. Many world-famous universities highly recognize this competition because the process of this competition is an evaluation of students' scientific research abilities. Through the division of labor, time management, and resource allocation of students in the team, we can see the overall planning ability and leadership of a student. Through the experimental design and paper writing, students' scientific research ability and innovation ability can be shown as much as possible. From preparation to competition, it is the best promotion of scientific research ability for high school students. Encouraging students to participate in such competitions is not only to win awards and enrich backgrounds, but also to enable students to train their scientific research ability and cultivate their scientific research abilities in all aspects. Encouraging student to participate in those competitions is not only for improving students’ application competitiveness of famous schools, but also for training their scientific research ability and cultivating their scientific research literacy.
The 2021 KingLead Global Academician Forum is also a rising star among all scientific competitions that comprehensively exercise students' scientific research ability. Compared with some old scientific research events, such forum-type scientific research activities give students more creative freedom. Students can experience the joy of completing the scientific research process independently by doing their scientific research and submitting the paper according to their research interests. Furthermore, the outstanding student papers gathered across the country will also have the opportunity to be approved and rated by professors from the world's top universities.
During the process of researching in their interested fields, many students felt unprecedented joy; simultaneously, they have also been affirmed by the world's top professors, which gives students confidence in their development in scientific research in the future.
Advanced Research Program
With the increasing attention of society and schools to scientific research and innovation and participating in scientific research activities and competing, doing scientific research with authoritative tutors has also become the development trend for excellent teenagers to improve research ability. The country pays more and more attention to "quality education," so cultivating scientific research ability is an important part of quality education. The scientific research projects led by tutors are different from the purpose of comprehensive learning and the guidance of competition. It gives students a creative and challenging scientific research learning experience, and personalized scientific research projects are also valuable ways to cultivate students' abilities. Although The investment and energy of international schools in developing students' scientific research literacy can not be underestimated, the direction of professors of famous schools is the "key factor" in improving the scientific research ability of excellent students.
Top professor resource means the research program is highly advanced and outstanding, which will help top students break their limit. The professor resource is very precious, when some students were limited by the curriculum, the professor has already helped other outstanding student widened their view and advanced to the next level. Excellent high school students may have improved their academic ability through scientific research activities inside and outside the school. Perhaps some of them have been able to complete an essay independently. However, the scientific research projects led by influential tutors can expose high school students with limited resources to the world's most cutting-edge scientific research resources. This way can not only cultivate students' pursuit of scientific research literacy but also make students more determined to pursue their future scientific research careers.
Conclusion
Scientific research experience can enable teenagers to enhance their interest in scientific research, cultivate their scientific research literacy and help their future development. Scientific and technological innovation is the driving force of social development. As the most dynamic and creative group, teenagers should be at the forefront of innovation and creation and be the vanguard of the times.
Developing teenagers' scientific research has become an inevitable trend in high school education. As an important stage of talent training, senior high school allows students to form a correct and positive scientific research attitude, develop good scientific research literacy, and cultivate excellent scientific research skills; Scientific research experience can benefit students' long-term development, attract more high-quality and potential students, transport more talents with excellent scientific research literacy to colleges and universities, and improve the overall competitiveness of international schools. With the increasingly fierce competition in science, technology and talents, the demand for scientific knowledge and excellent talents is more urgent than ever before. Therefore, education needs to keep up with the pace of the times and promote the wheel of social development.[15]
