In recent years, there has been growing concern about waning interest in science, as despite advances in research and technology, fewer young people seem to be pursuing careers in these fields1. This decline can be attributed to various factors, including a lack of early engagement, inadequate integration of practical experience and insufficient alignment between educational stages. To address this issue, the National Academy of Scientist Education (NASE) and Academia Europaea (AE) propose the concept of ‘multigenerational systems education’, a comprehensive approach that draws inspiration from systems biology and systems medicine.
The traditional methods of teaching science have failed to keep pace with the rapid advancements of the twenty-first century. Evidence of declining interest is reflected in the decreasing number of students enrolling in science courses at both the high school level and the university level1. According to recent studies, fewer students are choosing to specialize in life sciences, with many perceiving these fields as inaccessible or irrelevant to real-world applications2,3.

系统教育可以培养下一代科学家和临床医生
近年来,人们越来越担心人们对科学的兴趣减弱,因为尽管研究和技术取得了进步,但似乎很少有年轻人在这些领域从事职业1。这种下降可归因于多种因素,包括缺乏早期参与、实践经验整合不足以及教育阶段之间的一致性不足。为了解决这个问题,美国国家科学家教育学院 (NASE) 和欧洲科学院 (AE) 提出了“多代系统教育”的概念,这是一种从系统生物学和系统医学中汲取灵感的综合方法。
传统的科学教学方法未能跟上 21 世纪的快速发展。兴趣下降的证据反映在高中和大学阶段参加科学课程的学生人数减少1。根据最近的研究,选择专攻生命科学的学生越来越少,许多人认为这些领域无法进入或与实际应用无关2,3。
