Basic Research on the Science Education in the Society after Decoding the Structure of Human Gene

最近，基于物理学基本原理的现代生物学的进步带来了对人类基因结构的重新编码。而重新编码对我们社会的影响之一是，我们永远不能在不考虑自然科学的价值问题的情况下思考自然科学。换句话说，我们应该结合人类决策的阶段，研究21世纪基于科学技能对人类生活的理解。这种情况也导致了如何将自然科学学院引入社会科学和人文科学的研究和教育中，反之亦然。在这个项目中，考虑到什么样的课程更有利于学生学习关于人类基因的科学知识，我们项目成员调查了以下几点；(1)一般人如何认识人类基因结构的重新编码及其对社会的影响；(2)学校教师如何向学生传授这类主题；(3)有关人士如何看待人类决策和生命伦理教育的必要性，以及与当今先进生物技术的关系，并与中国和丹麦的教育领域的现状进行比较；(4)如何结合传统的优生观支持母亲和家庭的怀孕决策；(5)针对学生对转基因食品社会决策的理解而举办的试验班的效果。

Recoding the structure of human gene has recently been brought about by the advancement of modern biology based on the fundamental principles of physics. And one of the influences toward our society from the recoding leads the fact that we can never think about natural science without considering the matters of its values. In other words, we should conduct research about the understanding of human life based on scientific skills in the 21^<st> century in relation with the phase of human decision-making. This situation also leads to the problem how to introduce the faculty of natural science into the research and education of social and human science and vice versa.In this project, keeping in mind that what kind of curriculum will be better for students' science learning about human gene, we project members investigated the following points ; (1)how people in general recognize the recoding of human gene structure and it influence to society, (2)how school teachers try to teach their students such topics, (3)how those concerned think about the necessity of the education for human decision-making and life ethics in relation with the advanced biological technology of today, making comparison with the status in the educational field of China and Denmark, (4)how we should support mothers and families' decision-making about pregnancy together with the traditional eugenic view, (5)the effects of a trial class aiming at students' understanding of social decision-making about genetically modified food.
