科学是欧洲思想的发明，还是合法的科学知识体系和科学思维方式在其他文化中单独出现？土著知识体系能否对当代科学教学作出贡献？在这里，我们描述了来自阿拉斯加西南部尤皮亚克文化的证据，它展示了一套不同于西方科学的科学知识和认识论。我们认为，借鉴尤皮亚克文化，知识和认识论，不仅可以提供一个更文化相关的参考框架，为尤皮亚克学生的科学概念教学，但也有潜在的价值背景下，更有效地解决许多美国科学教育改革举措的建议。John Wiley & Sons，Inc. J Res Sci Teach 35：133-144，1998.
Is science an invention of European thought, or have legitimate scientific bodies of knowledge and scientific ways of thinking emerged separately in other cultures? Can indigenous knowledge systems contribute to contemporary science teaching? Here we describe evidence from the Yupiaq culture in southwestern Alaska which demonstrates a body of scientific knowledge and epistemology that differs from that of Western science. We contend that drawing from Yupiaq culture, knowledge, and epistemology can provide not only a more culturally relevant frame of reference for teaching science concepts to Yupiaq students, but also a potentially valuable context for more effectively addressing many of the recommendations of U.S. science education reform initiatives. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
