Abstract

With the continuous development of quality education and the increasingly fierce competition for talents among countries, the cultivation of students' science and technology levels and key competencies serves as a daunting task for elementary and secondary school teachers. The current educational policy emphasizes that elementary teachers should pay due attention to the development of elementary students' key competencies, and improving the effectiveness of science classroom teaching is particularly significant. By elaborating on the concept of “key competencies” and by presenting the features of effective classroom teaching, this study reveals the profound and unique connotations of key competencies in the context of China's national conditions and the characteristics of the times. And this study points out some basic directions for the construction of elementary science classroom teaching as well. In addition, with the purpose of enhancing students' science and technology levels and cultivating their key competencies, this study proposes seven strategies that can effectively facilitate primary science classroom teaching, such as integrating multimedia tools to improve the effectiveness of science classroom teaching, highlighting the position of students and creating a good learning situation, and improving teachers' scientific competence and teaching abilities through multi-faceted learning and training, This study has a strong practical significance for pre-service and post-service elementary science teachers to design and implement more effective science classroom teaching.
