摘要

服務學習的理念是一種「服務」與「學習」並重的經驗教育方式。本研究探討宜蘭大學學生推廣國小4至6年級學童的奈米科普教育，透過「服務」而獲得「學習」的效果，並能夠讓宜蘭地區小學生獲得接觸及認識奈米科技的機會。共40位大學生參與服務學習課程，經過12小時的課堂訓練，及設計活動教案與預演。教案包含活動前後測、奈米科技簡介、蓮花效應實驗及互動式問答，在九十八學年度有10所國小，共822位小學生參與此活動，經後測成績統計顯示學童餐與活動後有顯著性的進步。此教學方式不僅可有效推廣國小學生奈米科普教育，同時讓大學生透過籌畫、執行、反思和評估他們的服務經驗中「教學相長」，達到人才培育與科普推廣雙贏的成效。

Service-learning is an experience education which equally emphasizes the ”service” and ”learning”. This study is focus on the promotion of nanotech's popular science education for the fourth to sixth grades elementary school students, and is performed by Ilan University undergraduate students. This design is to train these undergraduate students to ”learn” through the ”services” by integrated social services into science course. Moreover, the elementary school students can concern with nano-science and gain preliminary understanding of nanotechnology and its application. Forty undergraduate students achieved 12 hours classroom training as well as the experimental exercise, design of lesson plan and presentation. Lesson plan includes quiz before and after the activities which contain a brief introduction to nanotechnology, lotus effect experiment and interactive Q&A. There were 822 students from 10 elementary schools in I-Lan county participated in these activities at 98 academic year. The post-quiz exhibited that the elementary school students made a significant progress after promotion activity. These valuable results revealed that the service-learning is a desirable education methodology not only to promote the popular science education of nanotechnology at elementary schools but also to allow university students gain ”teaching others teaching themselves” effect through the learning, planning, execution, reflection and evaluation. The nanotechnology human resource incubation and popular science education popularization were simultaneously performed through this service-learning activity.
