The boy corrected a hot search for the Astronomical Museum. How can young science popular science be more reliable?

On July 16th, during Lhasa in Tibet, a parent took his child to visit the Tibetan Star Astronomy Experience Museum, and the child discovered that there was an error in the popular science knowledge on a demonstration video in the museum and pointed out the problem. Subsequently, the official response: received the feedback and seriously absorbed the suggestions. At the same time, I also thanked the children for the correctness and would be modified immediately. How to view such a "error correction"? What did it remind us? How should you better carry out the popular science education of youth? "News 1+1" invites Zhang Wei, a member of the Science Working Committee of the China Aviation Society to pay attention to: how can you be more reliable?

The boy corrected errors to the Astronomical Museum on the Internet caused continuous heated discussion

On July 16th, a video shot by a parent to visit the "Tibetan Planet" astronomical experience hall with children in Tibet, Tibet, which has caused continuous discussion on the Internet in recent days. The child found that there were many errors in the popular science knowledge in the Astronomical Museum, and he pointed out angrily while walking. What errors have the child discovered? What is the attitude of the astronomical museum and "Chinese military industry"? What kind of thinking has this incident that causes us?

How do you think of the "angry kid" to correction to the Astronomical Museum?

Zhang Wei, member of the Popularization Working Committee of the Chinese Aviation Society: After watching the video, I was very surprised that the level of this second -year little boy should exceed ordinary aerospace enthusiasts and is very professional. Of course, what I want to remind him is that I hope the little boy will not be angry, so the level may be higher in the future.

Popular science account correction, spread the correct scientific and technological information

Zhang Wei, member of the Popularization Working Committee of the China Aviation Society: I like this response with both hands. An account like Chinese military industry is the official short video platform account of the National Defense Science and Technology Industry Bureau News Center. It has popular science function or error correction function. "Why this information is correct." In addition, it is also interpreted in a way that everyone likes to hear. It not only corrects the errors, but more importantly to spread the correct scientific and technological information in a better way. I agree very much.

In addition, I think other types of scientific and technological accounts, such as accounts such as ships and natural sciences, can also come up with rumors or testimony when encountering disputes, so that everyone can learn knowledge in the ocean of the correct information in time.

Popular science venues need to establish a better error correction mechanism

Zhang Wei, member of the Popularization Working Committee of the China Aviation Society: There is no case in the science popularization knowledge. In fact, the original intention of this kind of museum is very good. I hope to borrow video methods, including some VR and AR, which are very good. It is very good to enrich the expression and improve the experience. The software is not professional enough. It may take a long time in this regard, and the help of more professionals can help them grow better.

Sometimes after the popular science content of the museum and exhibition hall, after some people have made mistakes, they do not know whether they are right or the other party is right. This requires a good error correction mechanism. Therefore, in the construction of software, we are still in a long way to go.

What is the impact of good popular science education on children?

Zhang Wei, member of the Popularization Working Committee of the China Aviation Society: We have seen countless examples. Aerospace staff teaches classes in the sky, so that many children focus on various information, focus on the aerospace, and finally fall in love with this line of this line It may even become their colleagues. We found that at the launch site, we can see a lot of very young faces. Many of them have inspired their interests after years of popular science to invest in the space career. This is the role of science popularization.

For example, CCTV's "Face -to -face" program has interviewed Gu Hufen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has been a child affected by popular science since he was a child. He read various aviation books and aviation models until he fell in love with this line that he could not extricate himself. Now he has become the most famous aircraft design in my country. One of the teachers. In addition to teaching knowledge, popular science is more important to stimulate people's interest. "Hobbies are the best teachers." When a person has hobbies, you will learn yourself.

Popular science activity software and other aspects need to continue to improve

Zhang Wei, member of the Popularization Working Committee of the China Aviation Society: I personally support similar activities including studying, research, and summer camps. Because the exhibition hall is just a popular science venue, exhibits and exhibition boards are also very good popular science teeters, but if children can be visible but also can be touched through other types of activities, it is even better.

I have also organized a lot of aviation science popularization activities to let children touch, take a look, and smell it. For example, what taste of aviation kerosene engines and what is the taste of aviation gasoline engines. In this way, some work principles and popular science knowledge of aviation engines are good, and the effect is better. I think there are many knowledge and principles that can better stimulate children through similar ways.

Our country is now the government or parents, and they are willing to spend money to invest in various popular science activities. We may now have no problem with hardware, but I want to continue to improve in terms of software, that is, popular science content.
