本研究目的在於分析我國中央流行疫情指揮中心在2020年成立的第一年內,新冠肺炎(COVID-19)網路新聞資訊的內容呈現方式與其在科學教育的意涵。研究者依照國內新聞網站流量標準,選擇《ETtoday新聞雲》、《自由時報》以及《三立新聞網》等三家網路電子報作為分析目標,蒐集國內中央流行疫情指揮中心成立第一年期間(2020年1月至2021年1月),前述各平臺所報導有關「新冠肺炎」相關的科學新聞共236則,運用內容分析法進行分析。研究結果發現:一、在疫情新聞所呈現的寫作論述框架中,比例依序為「證據」(54.15%)、「主張」(41.55%)與「推理」(4.30%),其中與「推理」框架直接有關的理論、模型與限制等探究歷程元素都低於3%;二、疫情新聞的寫作論述框架順序多以「證據」框架起始敘寫,常以現象與資訊來源等探究歷程元素開始報導;三、網路電子報提供原始文獻出處的連結比例偏低,而記者在其轉譯資訊的過程中也會出現一些錯誤,例如出現「主張」型錯誤(報導內容出現其他專業人士延伸的議題,而非原來引用文獻的內容);「證據」型錯誤(報導內容另外添加研究內容的樣本類型);以及「推理」型錯誤(報導內容將原始數據另做運算而得到另外的結論)。
