摘要

本文為落實與提昇大學通識教育中自然科學之課程，期以人本關懷為基礎，建立大學生健康、進取及具科學素養的人生觀。本研究透過下列方式以達成教材規劃與發展之目標：1、定義「自然科學之跨領域整合性課程」之範疇―科學與人生；2、瞭解人一出生即面對周遭各種（物質或心靈）問題，除了用感性方式來處理外，尚可以用理性方式來解決，具有科學素養的理性模式會是最佳的問題處理方式之一；3、透過「科學與人生」通識課程之學習，建立具科學素養的自我理性處理模式。本研究以國立臺北科技大學進修部與進修學院選修「科學與人生」通識課程的二技班級學生作為研究之樣本，研究團隊成員包括生命與非生命科學之專家學者各7 名。各成員之理念與目的相當一致，本課程也普遍受到學生的肯定與接受。
