摘要

本研究目的在透過科學寫作融入自然與生活科技領域月亮單元來探究學生對於月相盈虧概念改變之行動研究方式，研究對象為國小四年級學生66人，研究課程進行三個月。研究問題是探討國小四年級學生對於有關「月亮盈虧現象」的科學概念及迷思概念有哪些？探討國小四年級學生在科學寫作融入教學後，有關「月亮盈虧現象」之概念有哪些改變？及教師在此次行動研究中的困境及專業成長為何？研究者透過教學錄影、教師反思札記、學生科學寫作作品、上課筆記及晤談等方式蒐集資料，研究發現結果如下：
一、教學前的迷思概念有：月相盈虧是因為月亮被地球的影子擋住、被雲擋住、有兩個月亮及月相週期為十五日。
二、科學寫作融入後的改變有：
(一)月相盈虧是因為月亮繞地球轉，太陽照射月球的角度不同。
(二)月亮盈虧週期為一個月。
(三)上弦月是因為太陽照到月亮的正面一半及背面一半，所以亮右邊。
(四)農曆日期配合月形。
三、研究者在行動研究中碰到的困境，包括研究者心態調適、教學時間、寫作時間不足及教學中又產生另一個迷思等問題。經由行動研究的不斷反省與修正歷程，讓學生有效的學習及幫助學生複習所學內容，自己在教學策略方面和行動研究的省思方面獲得了更專業的學習與成長。
最後依據研究結果，為欲從事科學寫作的教師、後續研究者所做的建議。

The purpose of this study was to integrate science writing into a science & technology class for the subject of phenomenon of moon phases. The method of this study was based on action research. The study was carried out over the period of 3 months. The research question was to explore 66 fourth-grade students’ scientific concepts and their misconceptions about moon phases. Not only participants’ conception change before and after the integration of science writing into the science & technology class, but also instructor’s professional growth and the problems encountered during the research period were discussed in this study. The resulting data for the study are collected from interview record, student’s writings and notes in class, teacher's reflective journals and videotapes recorded in class.
The results of this research are as follows:

1. The study indicates that students’ most common misconceptions regarding the phenomenon of moon phases are the incorrect beliefs that firstly they are caused when the shadow of the Earth or the clouds; the belief that secondly, there’re two moons; thirdly, a complete cycle of the Lunar Synodic Period takes 15 days.
2. The study shows that after the integration of the science writing into the science & technology class, the conception change of the moon phases occurs: firstly, the moon phases are caused by the different solar light’s angle; secondly, a complete cycle of Lunar Synodic Period takes a month; thirdly the First Quarter moon is caused by the solar’s light projected on the half of the moon; fourthly, the Lunar calendar is made in accordance with the moon phases.
3. The study demonstrates that through this action research, the researcher went through some difficulties such as the adjustment of her attitude and of her schedule of teaching, the management of insufficient writing time and of new misconceptions emerged during instruction. Through constant reflections, evaluation and correction, the researcher helps students to gain efficient learning and to review the subject matter. Researcher’s reflections about her teaching strategy implemented in Science & Technology class through action research result a professional growth and increase her learning experience.

Finally, according the results of this research, some suggestions about integrating science writing into a science & technology class for further studies are proposed.
