"Cloud Computing" and "Big Data" Become the Benchmark of Chinese Citizens' Scientific Qualities

The IT hot words "cloud computing" and "big data" have been listed on the red-headed document, becoming objects that need to be widely publicized and learned throughout the society. On April 18, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Central Propaganda Department issued a notice on the “Scientific Quality Benchmark for Chinese Citizens”, in which cloud computing and big data became the benchmark.

Careful readers found that in Article 18 of the "Chinese Citizens' Scientific Qualification Benchmark", it is emphasized that Chinese citizens are required to "pay attention to the development of science and technology", "knowing genetic engineering, stem cells, nanomaterials, thermonuclear fusion, big data, cloud computing." , Internet + and other high-tech."

This is inseparable from the current enthusiasm of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”. “Cloud computing” and “Big Data” are no longer the technical terms of technicians, quietly entering the homes of ordinary people. In the cafes of Zhongguancun, these words together with the "shares", " venture capital", "artificial intelligence", "VR" hot words, become the most popular and hottest keywords in the mouth of entrepreneurs.

According to experts, the "Chinese citizen science quality benchmark" containing "cloud computing" and "big data" will be widely publicized. The purpose is to promote the scientific spirit, popularize scientific knowledge, and improve the scientific and technological awareness and scientific literacy of the whole society. benefit society.

It is reported that the "Chinese Citizens' Scientific Qualification Benchmark" has a total of 26 benchmarks and 132 benchmarks, which basically cover the scientific spirit, mastery or understanding of knowledge and ability of citizens. Applicable to citizens of the People's Republic of China who are 18 years of age or older and have capacity to act.

At the time of evaluation, 50 reference points were randomly selected from 132 reference points, and 50 reference points were required to cover all 26 benchmarks. According to each reference point design topic, form a survey question bank. At the time of evaluation, 50 questions (including 26 benchmarks must be covered) are randomly selected from 500 question banks for testing, in the form of judgment questions or multiple choice questions, with 2 points for each question. A correct rate of 60% is considered to have basic scientific qualities.

All provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, cities with separate plans, sub-provincial city science and technology departments (committees, bureaus), party committee propaganda departments, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Science and Technology Bureau, Party Committee Propaganda Department, central and state departments, departments directly under the Central Military Commission, science and technology Committee, various people's groups:

To implement the "Science and Technology Popularization Law of the People's Republic of China", implement the "National Medium- and Long-Term Plan for Science and Technology Development (2006-2020)", "Outline of the National Science Quality Action Plan (2006-2010-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as The "Scientific Quality Outline" and other scientific work tasks identified by the State Council, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Propaganda Department, and the 20 departments of the Central Organization Department participated in the formulation of the "Chinese Citizens' Scientific Quality Benchmark" (hereinafter referred to as the "Benchmark" ) Establish a monitoring index system for the implementation of the Outline of Scientific Qualities, regularly conduct scientific literacy surveys of Chinese citizens and national popular science statistics, and provide measurement scales and guidance for citizens to improve their own scientific literacy.

After organizing expert research, pilot evaluations were conducted in some provinces (cities), and opinions from departments, localities and the society were extensively solicited. Based on the formation of broad consensus, the “Benchmark” was developed (the electronic version can be downloaded from the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology, etc.). , is now issued. All localities and departments should carefully organize party and government organs, workers, peasants, science and technology, education workers, urban and rural laborers, troops, soldiers, students, and people from all walks of life to learn; party and government organs, scientific research institutions, enterprises, institutions at all levels, Schools, military units, and social groups should organize "Benchmark" learning and training activities; the news media and websites should widely publicize the "Benchmarks", vigorously promote the scientific spirit, popularize scientific knowledge, and improve the scientific and technological awareness and scientific literacy of the whole people in the whole society. It will form a good atmosphere to encourage mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and lay a solid social foundation for implementing innovation-driven development strategies, building innovative countries and achieving the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

The Benchmark of Chinese Citizens' Scientific Quality (hereinafter referred to as the “Benchmark”) refers to the standards of basic scientific and technological knowledge and abilities that Chinese citizens should possess. The basic scientific quality of citizens generally refers to understanding the necessary scientific and technological knowledge, mastering basic scientific methods, establishing scientific ideas, advocating scientific spirit, and having certain ability to apply practical problems and participate in public affairs. The formulation of the "Benchmark" is an important part of a sound monitoring and evaluation system for citizens' scientific quality, and will provide a measure and guidance for citizens to improve their scientific quality. The Benchmark has a total of 26 benchmarks and 132 benchmarks. It basically covers the scientific spirit, knowledge, and knowledge that citizens need to have. The benchmarks are listed under each benchmark. The benchmarks are explained and explained.

At the time of evaluation, 50 reference points were randomly selected from 132 reference points, and 50 reference points were required to cover all 26 benchmarks. According to each reference point design topic, form a survey question bank. At the time of evaluation, 50 questions (including 26 benchmarks must be covered) are randomly selected from 500 question banks for testing, in the form of judgment questions or multiple choice questions, with 2 points for each question.
