摘要

本研究主要透過行動研究的方法，探討科學史融入高中基礎理化教學之影響，包括學生的學業成績、對科學本質的了解及批判思考內涵的影響。研究者擬將以「歷史個案研究」、及「互動式歷史小品」模式將科學史融入教學中。從問題的發現、文獻的探討、融入科學史於高一基礎理化“熱”單元之教材設計、編寫“光”單元補充教材、進行教學、批改作業等等，研究者參與著整個教學。研究者在進行教學之同時，商請同儕協助對整班上課情況進行錄影。研究者透過實際教學、錄影帶、回收之作業、面談、感受問卷進行分析，探討在融入科學史的教學中，教師的教學與學生的學習間之互動歷程；並期能瞭解學生在此教材教法下之學習狀況、及老師面臨的困難或其他變因。資料的收集另外還包含了第一、二次月考基礎理化成績、「了解科學本質量表」、「了解科學本質」晤談、「康乃爾批判思考測驗X級」、「熱單元批判思考作業評量」、「光單元批判思考作業評量」、學生感受問卷、以及學生寒假閱讀科學史心得報告等。

With the help of the methodology of Action Research, this thesis aims to study the influence of the combination of history of science with senior high school fundamental physics teaching. The influence includes students' academic performance, their understanding of the nature of science, and their critical thinking.The researcher used the model of ”historic case study” and ”interactive historical vignettes” to combine history of science with physics teaching. The researcher participated the whole process of teaching-from the discovery of questions, the study of documentation, the teaching project for a combination of history of science with the unit about heat in the course of senior high school fundamental physics, the edit of the supplementary teaching material on the unit about light, teaching activities, to an evaluation of students' workbooks, etc. While the researcher taught, her colleague recorded the teaching process: After her teaching activities, the researcher analyzed the contents in the video tape, students' workbooks, interview data, and survey data. The analysis reveals the process of interaction between the teacher's teaching and students' learning by combining history of science with physics teaching. Besides, the ana1ysis also attempts to present students' learning situation, the problems that teachers face, and other variances under such a teaching material and methodology. The data the researcher collected also include students' grades of the first and second monthly tests,” Understanding of the Nature of Science” , interview on ”A Understanding the Nature of Science”, ”Cornell Critical Thinking Test, Level X”, ”Critical Thinking Assessment of the Unit about Heat”, ”Critical Thinking Assessment of the Unit about Light”, questionnaire of students' preference for different teaching methodologies, and students' papers on history of science which they studied in winter vacation.
