Abstract


Abstrak 

Kehidupan yang semakin moden memerlukan ahli masyarakat bukan sahaja dapat menyumbang kepada penciptaan baru teknologi tetapi juga tahu dan menyokong penggunaan kemudahan teknologi. Justeru, sukatan pelajaran pendidikan sains perlu ada isi kandungan yang bukan hanya mengajar mengenai fakta-fakta sains tetapi juga pengaruh, kesan serta kepentingan sains dan teknologi kepada kehidupan manusia dan alam sekitar. Pendidikan sains seharusnya merangkumi ilmu pengetahuan serta pembangunan insan yang meliputi nilai-nilai murni dan bukan hanya berkaitan fakta serta formula sains semata-mata. Kejayaan masa hadapan bergantung kepada mutu modal insan yang dimiliki, bukan sahaja dari segi intelek tetapi juga keperibadian yang merangkumi nilai-nilai murni. Ilmu pengetahuan yang diperolehi daripada pendidikan sains boleh memberikan gambaran, penerangan dan jawapan mengapa manusia mesti mengamalkan budaya hidup yang mengandungi etika, sahsiah dan nilai-nilai murni kerana sains adalah bidang ilmu yang berlandaskan fakta, maka setiap fenomena yang berlaku boleh dijawab dengan fakta sains dan disokong dengan penerapan nilai-nilai murni sebagai sokongan.

Abstract 

An increasingly modern life requires members of society to not only contribute to the creation of new technologies but also to know and support the use of technological facilities. Thus, the science education syllabus should have content that not only teaches about the facts of science but also the influence, impact and importance of science and technology on human life and the environment. Science education should include knowledge and human development that includes good values and not just related to science facts and formulas alone. The future success depends on the quality of human capital possessed, not only intellectually but also personality which encompasses noble values. The knowledge gained from science education can provide an overview, explanation and answer why human beings must practice a culture of life that contains ethics, personality and noble values because science is a field of knowledge based on facts, then every phenomenon that occurs can be answered with scientific facts and supported by the application of noble values as support. 

Keywords: Science education, Human Capital, Primary School
