摘要

本研究旨在使用Collaborative Web-based Inquiry Science Environment（CWISE）演化教材模組，探討網路探究活動對國中高、低批判思考能力學生探究能力及演化概念知識的影響，並瞭解不同批判思考能力學生的思考偏好。研究對象為七所學校的國中七年級學生共209位，採用質性與量化混和的研究方法。研究者依照學生批判思考能力不同分成高、低兩個組別。研究結果顯示，在探究活動前、中、後，批判思考能力高的學生在探究能力及演化概念知識上的表現情形顯著優於批判思考能力低的學生。另外，學生的探究能力與演化概念知識呈顯著正相關。研究結果亦發現兩組在探究活動後，其探究能力及演化概念知識皆顯著提升，可見此演化教材模組適用於不同批判思考能力的學生。研究者進而依據學生在腦力激盪的發言內容進行質性編碼，觀察不同組別的思考偏好差異。研究結果表明，高批判思考能力學生較多屬於反思型學生；低批判思考能力學生則較多屬於漫想型學生。最後，研究者依據研究結果提出在網路探究教學實踐及研究上的若干建議。

This study aimed to explore the impact of a web-based inquiry activity on the inquiry ability and evolution conceptual knowledge of junior high school students who have high and low critical thinking skills. Collaborative Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (CWISE) evolution instructional model was used to analyze students' thinking preferences. The study consisted of 209 students from seven schools and incorporated qualitative and quantitative research methods during analysis of data. According to the students' level of critical thinking skills, the researchers divided the students into two groups. Results showed that students with higher critical thinking skills have better inquiry ability and higher cognitive level of evolution conceptual knowledge before, during, and after the inquiry activity. In addition, the students' inquiry ability was found to be significantly related to their cognitive level of evolution conceptual knowledge. CWISE evolution instructional model significantly improved the students' inquiry ability and evolution conceptual knowledge which means that this web-based inquiry teaching approach may be applicable in science classrooms with mixed-ability students. Researchers found that the students' thinking preferences among these two groups were in accordance with their responses in the brainstorming step in CWISE. Generally, there were more students in the higher critical thinking skills group classified in ＂The Reflective Type＂ than in the ＂The Unrealistic Type＂ compared with students in the lower critical thinking skills group. Finally, this study proposes suggestions for future web-based inquiry teaching practice and research related to science education.
