Features: Through critical reflection on current science education, the author proposes a more macro and long-term perspective on science education in the digital environment. He argues that for science education in the digital environment to be considered successful, it must undergo qualitative changes compared to traditional science education. To achieve this qualitative transformation, the goals, content, and methods of traditional science education must be reconstructed. The book is divided into three parts: The first part presents reflections on various aspects of science education theory, as well as theoretical debates on inquiry-based learning. The second part includes case studies from the author's practical experience, demonstrating the qualitative changes brought about by inquiry-based learning in reconstructing traditional science education. The third part features case studies of the author's practice in digitally reconstructing science education, along with an outlook on the qualitative transformation of science education in the information age. The book is written in the form of a blog and uses hyperlinks to vividly reflect the author's process of enriching his understanding through exchanges and intellectual collisions with peers. The writing is somewhat emotional, the perspectives are unique, and the book has a certain readability. The author's exploration of science education will provide inspiration for educators and those concerned with educational reform, or may spark deeper discussions.
