摘要

本研究主要目的在探討「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題」主題式教學活動對國中七年級學生的學習成效，研究的範圍包含：國中學生對於生物科技概念的瞭解、生物科技應用在生態保育上的態度及對主題式教學活動的態度。本研究以台北市某國中七年級96位學生為研究樣本，前實驗設計為單組前測—後測設計，於教學前、後進行「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題概念成就測驗」、「生物科技應用在生態保育態度問卷」之測驗，並於資料蒐集後進行量的統計分析及質性分析，以評估學生在「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題」主題式教學活動實施後之學習態度。根據研究結果所獲，結論如下：
一、在接受「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題」教學後，可提升學生對於生物科技概念的瞭解。
二、在接受「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題」教學後，學生對於生物科技應用在生態保育持正面的態度。
三、學生對於「以生物科技解決養豬的環保問題」主題式教學活動持正向肯定的態度。
本研究之結果可以提供自然與生活科技領域之教學活動設計者、教學者或相關研究之參考。
