"How much milk is enough to drink every day?" "How to maintain osteoporosis?" A few days ago, Longhai Community Science Popularization University, Longzhouwan Street, Banan District, Chongqing City, opened a "osteoporosis" health knowledge class. Like other courses, after Lu Minpeng, a doctor at Banan District People's Hospital, taught some basic knowledge, the students began to scramble to ask questions. Wang Zefang, a resident who has been attending classes at Longhai Community Science University since 2016, said: "This knowledge is useful and practical for us, and everyone likes to come to class and feel that every class has new gains." ”
"We don't have to recruit students, the classrooms in every class are packed, and everyone comes to learn spontaneously." Li Ziling, secretary of the Longhai Community Party Committee and director of the neighborhood committee, said.
Why is a popular science university in the community so prosperous? "Don't look at the community science university, our course management is very standardized, and at the end of the semester, we have to organize exams, mark papers, issue transcripts, hold graduation ceremonies, and carry out some practical experience activities every semester." Li Ziling said that the teaching content of Longhai Community Science University is proposed by students at the beginning of each semester. Cooking, law, health, parent-child, generation-skipping education and fraud detection are all popular courses.
Practical knowledge and skills, good practical experience, attracting more and more people to the classroom of the community science university. Sometimes before the community can issue a notice of the start of school, some residents come to inquire. Some residents moved out of the Longhai community and are still worried about returning to attend classes. Many residents of other nearby communities also want to come to study, because of the limited number of places, in the past, they could only send representatives to study, but now the University of Science has opened a real-time online live broadcast for everyone.
Zhang Ping, a veteran student who has been studying at popular science universities for a long time, said: "When I used to talk about financial fraud, I was always scared because of my limited knowledge, but now I feel more confident after listening to the preventive measures explained by experts." ”
In 2012, Chongqing Science and Technology Association launched the construction of community science popularization universities, and various district and county science and technology associations also successively established community science popularization university branches. Up to now, the city has opened more than 800 teaching points, with an average of more than 9000,40 classes and more than <>,<> students every year. Seeing the strong popularity and cohesion of the community science popularization university, Longhai Community also expanded and extended the functions of the popular science university, guiding students to "transform" into "five popular science members" such as popular science knowledge propagandists, public information collectors, conflict and dispute mediators, civilized customs persuaders and special elderly caregivers. Not long ago, the trainees reported that there was no sidewalk on a newly built section of the road, and the community immediately coordinated with the relevant authorities and solved the problem in a few days. Based on some trainees' reports that there were sections of the road that did not have traffic lights, which posed a high safety risk, the community promoted the installation of traffic lights. Every winter, summer vacation and holidays, Longhai Community Science University will also provide learning activities for children of different ages. In addition to "one old and one young", it also provides services such as vocational training, job matchmaking, and weekend parent-child education for middle-aged people.
"Community science universities not only improve the scientific quality of residents, but also become a platform to help residents of all ages." Lin Jie, chairman of the Banan District Science and Technology Association, said. The ingenious science popularization activities of Bodhi Community Science University in Changshou District have also attracted the deep participation of some universities and well-known enterprises, and built a standardized community science popularization hall, Yuxin Homestead, modern automobile intelligent assembly line exhibition hall and other colorful educational platforms. Fuling District has opened 37 community science popularization university teaching points, among which the Baiheliang Community Teaching Point in Chongyi Street has set off an upsurge of stressing, using, and learning science through activities such as popularizing science knowledge into communities, buildings, and families, and also organized and evaluated "popular science homes", "five good civilized families" and "green families".
In the science popularization hall of Hualong Community Science University in Biquan Street, Bishan District, VR glasses experience equipment, assembleable solar cars and other popular science experimental equipment often attract some primary and secondary school students to experience. "I come to the community science university every Friday to attend classes, my grandson has a place to play here, and I have also learned a lot about the health maintenance of high blood pressure." Zou Xilan, a nearby resident, said. According to Xu Yuanda, chairman of the Bishan District Science and Technology Association, the district has continuously optimized the mechanism in recent years and is committed to building the community science popularization university classroom into a new era civilization practice classroom with linkage and interaction, offline and online.
