摘要

1980年代以來，個人需求、社會的需要、學術準備、以及生涯教育與體認，遂成為未來科學教育新導向的四個目標群(Harms & Yager, 1981; Harms & Kahle, 1981)，亦是STS理念的課程研究與發展之依據(Yager & Penick, 1983)；這吻合我國大學通識教育的目的：「大學教育的目的，不僅在培養有能力的工作者、生產者，而且在培養懂得生活、了解生活的知識份子。」。因此，本文係經由科學教育之STS理念與通識教育的本質、科學教育之STS理念與通識教育的目標、以及科學教育之STS課程理念與大學通識教育課程的特徵等三種分析取向，推論出STS理念式的通識教育課程是有內涵、有程序、多元化的通識教育課程中的一種。因此，科學教育之STS理念應可在大學通識教育中應用與落實。

Since 1980, personal needs, social issues, academic preparation, and career education/awareness have become the four goals of the direction of the future science education (Harms & Yager, 1981; Harms & Kahle, 1981). Research in curriculum development of STS rationale are based on the four goals (Yager & Penick, 1983). The four goals of the science education are matched on the aims of the general education of university in Taiwan. The aims of a university are not only to train the competent worker and producer, but also to form the wise people who can realize his life and acquaint himself with social relations.
