摘要

生物科技是21世紀的重要發展，其倫理議題是未來公民必需面對的，本研究的主要對象為在高中職及就業分流前的國中生對生物科技倫理的認知與態度；又因不是每個學生未來都成為科學家，但卻都可能面對生物科技造成的社會倫理問題，因此在生物科技倫理議題中選擇以融入社會議題，研究國中階段學生對生物科技的認知、生物科技倫理的認知與生物科技倫理的態度情形。
以自編「生物科技倫理議題教材研究認知與態度量表：以基因治療為例」調查國中學生對生物科技倫理的概念；開發教材並於國中三所學校100位學生進行試驗教學，以了解將「基因治療」的社會議題融入生物科技的教材對學生在生物科技倫理認知、態度上的改變。結果顯示學生對生物科技的認知差異頗大，但在教材實施試驗教學後，學生生物科技的認知有顯著提升；在生物科技倫理的認知上，教材實施後多數學生可以知道正、反面意見及可能對社會大眾造成的疑慮；而教材實施後發現學生在生物科技倫理價值判斷的部分與生物科技倫理知識有中度正相關，與生物科技認知相關性較之前高出許多；實施教材「生物科技倫理議題—以基因治療為例」後發現在生物科技認知部份有顯著差異，在生物科技倫理認知部分也有明顯差異，雖在生物科技倫理價值判斷上差異較小，唯受生物科技倫理認知的進步而影響，因此顯示在國中教材中可以加入生物科技倫理相關內容以協助學生未來的倫理價值判斷。

Biotechnology is the most important development in the 21 century, the citizen in the future should face its ethics issues.

The social subjects were integrated into the biotechnology ethics for studying the biotechnology cognition, the biotechnology ethics cognition and the biotechnology ethics manner situation in the junior high school students.
“The questionnaire of the knowledge and manner about the teaching material in the biotechnological ethics subjects : About the gene therapy ” was used for the Investigating of biotechnology ethics concept of the junior high school students. The teaching materials were developed and instructed for 100 students in three schools for understanding the change of the biotechnological ethics cognition and the manner to the students. The results showed that the differences of the biotechnology cognition between students were huge, but there were significant increasing of biotechnology knowledge of the students after instruction. About the biotechnology ethics cognition, most students had the ideas about the pro and con of biotechnology ethic after the instruction. We found that after instruction, there was media positive correlation between the judgment of biotechnology ethics and biotechnology ethic cognition. There were significant differences in biotechnology knowledge and biotechnology ethics cognition.
