摘要

本文主要探討以生活經驗為起點出發的地方本位教育模式，結合科學探究式專題導向法對偏鄉學生的學習成效。研究文獻指出，許多科學知識的教學並未充分連結學生的生活經驗與背景知識，使得許多學生在學習歷程中遭遇挑戰，進而影響自我學習認同；此外，學生在進行科學學習時，因為先備知識不足，導致其在科學學習過程中學習動機低落，學習成效亦受到極大影響。因此本研究希望透過探討9位中部偏鄉小學五年級學生為主要研究對象，由1位自然科學專業知識與教學資歷極為豐富的教師擔任教學者，希望在排除教師學科知識較弱的因素下，探討偏鄉學生面對科學探究式專題導向教學法的挑戰。研究發現，本研究所建構的地方本位教育之科學探究式專題導向教學法，較適合對周遭環境敏感度較高的學生，因不管原有知識架構完整與否，透過經驗的連結，可協助發展出系統化的知識架構，對學習成效有正面影響。另外，研究結果也顯示，傳統講授法對於學生的學習認同與習慣影響深遠，包含傾向有標準答案的教學與強調學習結果忽略過程的學習方式等，因此若要推動創新教學法，必須正視傳統教學法對學生帶來的影響。

This research used place-based education theory as the main framework to develop a place-based education module using the cross-cutting concept of ＂Structure and Function＂ to integrate multi-subject science concepts into the science curriculum. Outdoor education pedagogy and project-based learning strategy were used in the module. Researchers used plants in the Dadu Mountain and Gaomei Wetland areas where the participating school for this research was located. The purpose of the science instruction used in this study was to connect students' knowledge of plants developed from their interactions with these plants grown in the mountain and wetland areas with their knowledge developed from textbooks in the classroom. Five curriculum units were developed. These units consisted of 19 formal lessons and 2 extended lessons. Data collection methods included pre- and post-interviews with students, lesson worksheets and concept maps, and class observations and field notes. Scientific identity survey was conducted before and after the module was implemented. Affection survey was conducted at the end of the module. Research outcomes found that students' past learning experiences with traditional pedagogy appeared to be the reason why they experienced difficult challenges using the new implemented pedagogy. Students' learning motivation and learning engagement were observed to be positively influenced by the module, and the concept of the ＂Structure and Function＂ used to integrate the multi-subject science concepts was shown to help students in their systematic learning of the material. Using plants grown in the school area and the local community had a positive influence on low performing students, because these students were able to connect their daily life experiences with their classroom learning experiences. This connection further improved their learning motivation.
