摘　　要：科学大众化是当今科学教育的一个核心概念,但在教材和教学层面,科学大众化却面临困境。这种困境主要体现为科学素养内容的不均衡性,即过分重视学科内容而忽视相应的个人、社会和文化意义。文章从科学家的学术控制和学校文化两个角度分析了这种不均衡性的原因。文章最后从两种理科课程取向之间的张力出发,提出科学教育家可能是科学大众化走出困境的希望。'Science for all' is a central concept in contemporary science education. At present,however,there is a dilemma in this movement,which is characterized by the unbalance of scientific literacy in teaching programs and practices,and it means the excessive stress on subject content and the neglect of its meaning for private person,society and culture. In this paper,the reasons for this dilemma are analyzed in the views of academic control of scientists and school culture. On the departure of the tension between the two curriculum orientations in science,it is proposed that science educators may be promising agents in making 'science for all' possible in teaching programs and practices.
