With the social progress and cultural development, under the background of the whole society vigorously strengthening and promoting the ideological and moral construction of minors, off-campus education, as an indispensable part of China's education and an important way to implement quality education, bears the heavy responsibility of educating the vast number of teenagers in ideological and moral education and cultivating their innovative spirit and practical ability. Under the new historical conditions, how to seize the opportunity of the healthy development of off-campus education and make a difference in building a learning society has become one of the focuses of social attention. After-school education cannot continue to be independent of community life, nor can it continue to have nothing to do with community education, but has more and more extensive and profound internal and inevitable connections with the community. On the one hand, the resources of off-campus education are being opened to the community, guiding and trying to participate in some social education activities in the community. On the other hand, the community will also open the available educational resources to off-campus education and infiltrate into off-campus education activities. Off-campus education and community life are moving towards the "integration" required by lifelong education, that is, off-campus education is based on the community and community life is educational.

First, the conditions and background of effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities.

After several years of efforts, Xuhui District has initially formed a community culture of popular science activities for young people. Xuhui District Youth Activity Center has been jointly carrying out various popular science activities with popular science bases in the area, and combined with the characteristics of communities and towns, it has created conditions for the leap-forward development of community education and the construction of community schools. Therefore, it is proposed to explore the combination of extracurricular scientific and technological activities of teenagers and community education, with the youth activity center as the hub, sub-centers and community schools as the network, and the trinity of school, family and community education to form a lifelong education system. In recent years, the effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities in Xuhui District has become an important content of Xuhui District as a national community education demonstration zone. At the same time, Xuhui District is rich in off-campus science and technology education resources. There are dozens of universities and more than 100 scientific research institutes in the area, especially the Xuhui District Youth Science and Technology Mentor Group, which is composed of dozens of academicians and scientists who live and work in the area and are enthusiastic about popular science among young people. It has formed the gathering efficiency of community popular science resources, and human resources are the greatest "wealth". The tutors gave effective guidance to the popular science activities of teenagers outside the school in different communities. In addition, the full integration of off-campus education resources and community education, such as activity centers, universities, primary and secondary schools, community schools and various social resources, is the carrier of substantive promotion of community science popularization activities. Therefore, each street and town can embody different community education methods and even the model of popular science activities for young people in their own community space.

Second, street science popularization activities are the main channel for effectively docking off-campus education.

Under the favorable conditions of promoting community education, all communities strive to give full play to the unique functions of various community education institutions and find mature and simple paths. Constantly carrying out the existing popular science activities in various towns is the main channel for effectively connecting off-campus education. At the same time, efforts should be made to tap the characteristics of popular science in towns, continue to carry out popular science activities with the characteristics of towns, and let the scientific and technological activities of off-campus teenagers go deep into the community through various channels to create characteristic popular science activities. For example, Xujiahui Street Mental Olympic Family Games is a kind of mental Olympic Family Games organized by schools and streets. Longhua Street Longhua Middle School, Longhua Primary School and Long Yuan Middle School held "Five Little Dragons" activities; Launched Lingyun Street Youth Model Association and Small Smart Ring Competition, and won the first prize of the Innovation Competition; According to the characteristics of many old houses and buildings in the region, Hunan Street has carried out popular science activities on building models, organized lectures on old houses and buildings in Hunan with the spirit of science and technology, and won many prizes in national building model competitions. Tian Ping Street and Nanmo Middle School jointly built an "ecological studio" to radiate the surrounding schools.

The towns in the whole region are effectively connected with off-campus education or school extracurricular activities, which not only gives full play to the role of off-campus education, but also gives full play to the enthusiasm of schools, develops the characteristic resources of towns, and greatly enriches the contents of off-campus youth science popularization activities. It has formed a vivid situation in which teenagers' popular science activities are in full bloom. Teenagers' off-campus scientific and technological activities promote and enrich community education, and provide basic materials for creating a learning community.

Third, school and social resources are the effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities.

For a long time, Xuhui District Youth Activity Center has cooperated with schools and towns to promote extracurricular activities for young people, especially community popular science activities. The operation of the trinity model gives full play to the advantages of their respective work. According to the characteristics of villages and towns, combined with the school-based construction of characteristic schools where each community is located, we will strive to build a community education system. At the same time, relying on the off-campus education resources of teenagers, relying on the schools where the community is located and community schools, we will carry out research on the effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities, explore effective methods and means, and form a good result of formal interaction, social integration, diverse means and win-win purpose through the off-campus science and technology education of teenagers and community popular science activities.

Characteristic schools are the closest, richest and most effective resources for community education. Every street and town has several primary and secondary schools and kindergartens. Xuhui District has three Shanghai science and technology demonstration schools, eight Shanghai science and technology characteristic schools, eight district demonstration schools, thirty-four district characteristic schools and sixty-one green schools. There are also 19 municipal science popularization bases such as Botanical Garden, Insect Museum and Public Security Museum, as well as many universities, Shanghai Branch of Chinese Academy of Sciences and scientific research institutes. Characteristic schools, popular science bases, scientific research institutes and other resources are the best resources for community education recently. Their venues, equipment and teachers are not only the resources of community education, but also the inexhaustible treasure house of popular science activities in youth communities. As an off-campus institution, the activity center has been committed to developing all kinds of resources and cooperating with all parties to carry out all kinds of popular science activities in line with the physical and mental health of young people, which has become an extremely important part of off-campus education in Xuhui.

Fourthly, the method of community popular science activities is an effective means to link up off-campus education.

The development of out-of-school education and community popular science activities should be designed according to the characteristics and hobbies of teenagers of different ages: children's scientific and technological activities take the form of game education as the main means; Primary school science and technology activities take the form of interest education as the main method; Junior high school science and technology activities take the form of tool education as the main way; High school science and technology activities focus on subject research and cultivate inquiry learning behavior and methods. Looking for the inherent basic laws of exploratory research, there are many materials for young people to explore scientifically in the community. Teenagers' scientific interests are diversified and will change with the growth of age and the change of environment. Only on the basis of clarifying teenagers' interests and hobbies, organizing colorful community popular science activities and giving them the opportunity to choose freely can we meet the diverse activities needs of teenagers and truly play the quality education function of popular science activities outside school. Therefore, off-campus education should actively organize and design community popular science activities with scientific and technological innovation and hands-on brain as the content. Activities should have the flavor of the times, highlight the characteristics of the community, adopt the form of entertaining young people, conform to the physical and mental characteristics of young people, integrate science, ideology and interest, give full play to the advantages of off-campus education, and reflect the unity of form and content of community activities.

Five, off-campus education institutions should lead the effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities.

Compared with the off-campus activities organized by schools and communities, the activities of the Youth Activity Center are highly professional, high in organizational quality, in line with teenagers' interests and hobbies, and are welcomed by the majority of primary and secondary school students. Admittedly, due to the limited conditions in the youth activity center, it is impossible to cover all students in the region, especially the cup activities of some projects, and only a few students with special skills may participate, which makes many primary and secondary school students feel sorry. Therefore, it is very necessary to take the youth activity center as the hub, play its leading role in extracurricular activities, and drive schools and communities to improve the quality of extracurricular activities in the whole region. Therefore, off-campus institutions should integrate resources and explore a model suitable for the community. According to the actual needs of each community, choosing a relatively typical and feasible stable mode has become an effective connection mode after exploration and practice. Xuhui off-campus institutions are the main leaders of off-campus education and community popular science activities. At present, many community schools have been built in Xuhui District Youth Activity Center, its sub-centers and some communities, and the center and sub-centers have formed various models of popular science activities in their respective communities. For example, Lingyun Sub-center and Lingyun Community School set up information park, model association, brain Olympics and a series of clever activities, all of which are successful examples of this model. The emergence and formation of these models are all founded by off-campus institutions and communities, and make full use of the resources planned and organized by the activity center to mobilize all kinds of resources of community schools, primary and secondary schools and families, forming vigorous community science popularization activities, which effectively promoted the improvement of young people's scientific literacy.

6. Integrating into community popular science activities is an effective way to link up off-campus education.

At present, all government departments and various social, cultural and educational institutions, such as street communities, museums, off-campus education bases, etc. Will become extracurricular activities involving teenagers to some extent within their respective responsibilities, so it is naturally their duty to do a good job in extracurricular activities for teenagers. However, the interaction and contact between institutions need to be improved, and the phenomenon of fragmented management is still very common, which also causes the uneven quality of extracurricular activities for teenagers organized by them and the low efficiency of resource utilization. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the connection and cohesion between various departments and institutions. In particular, the communication between teenagers' extracurricular activities is an important way to improve the overall quality of teenagers' extracurricular activities, and community popular science activities can be integrated through the communication between various institutions. At present, the community education in Xuhui District is developing rapidly, and all streets and towns combine the characteristics of the region to expand their functions with popular science activities. Integrate community scientific and technological activities and develop community education, taking streets and towns as "blocks" and taking education system and social resources as "strips". From the combination of "strips" to the combination of "strips", the overpass of community education will be established. Integrating youth science and technology activities into community activities organically and diversely, carrying out activities in various streets and towns, infiltrating into communities, communities and even families, and expanding to other streets and towns, forming a new growth point of youth science and technology activities and becoming a landscape of community education.

At present, there are about 30 science and technology "cups" named by streets, towns or schools in Xuhui District every year, with hundreds of thousands of students participating. Most of these "cups" are jointly held with community streets and towns, which not only reflects the enthusiastic organization of streets and towns, but also shows that young people's scientific and technological activities are increasingly inseparable from the community, and the time for young people to live in the community is increasingly becoming a good opportunity for various popular science activities. For example, in September 2007, when welcoming the World Special Olympics held in Shanghai, Huajing Community and Youth Activity Center held the "Special Olympics for Science and Technology" activity in Xuhui District, and organized a series of activities such as training, training and competition for mentally retarded teenagers in Shisanjie Town, so that mentally retarded teenagers can experience pleasure in scientific and technological games, and at the same time, it also embodies the humanistic spirit of caring for mentally retarded people in the whole society.

Take "Youth Science and Technology Activities" as the carrier, integrate local schools, society and other resources to hold various activities, and carry out popular science activities with community characteristics. Making teenagers' off-campus scientific and technological activities an integral part of community activities, the time and space for teenagers' scientific and technological activities to enter the community will make a great difference, which will greatly activate the development of community education. Community education should manage the existing popular science resources and achievements of popular science activities in the region and make good use of the existing scientific and technological resources and achievements of young people.

Xuhui off-campus education and community education will integrate Xuhui's superior resources and expand its functions. Will be integrated into the Xuhui community education system, make good use of resources and integrate advantages in the large space of community education in Xuhui District, and make contributions to the construction of tomorrow's Xuhui learning community.

The effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities is carried out under the background of vigorously advocating a learning society at home and abroad. It is usually developed and linked through the existing conditions and background of the local community; It was built through the main channel of street popular science activities; Consolidate through the support of schools and social resources; Through the linkage mode design of off-campus educational institutions and community popular science activities; Through community popular science activities, off-campus education and other ways to implement; It is developed by integrating community popular science activities and off-campus education. The effective connection between off-campus education and community popular science activities is undoubtedly a far-reaching measure for the three concepts of lifelong education, lifelong learning and learning society.
