國小職前教師基本自然科學知識及自然科學態度之研究 作者:李田英(國立臺灣師範大學科學教育研究所)

摘要：

本文的研究目的在於測師專五年級學生畢業前的自然科學基本概念及對國小自然科教學之態度。
市立師院、省立台北師院、新竹師院五年級學生，其它六所師院則一需要隨機抽取學生一班。
本研究以去年發展的「自然科基本概念測驗」及翻譯Thomson與Shrigley「自然科教學態度量表」分別用以收集師專五年級學生畢業前之科學基本概念及對教國小自然科學之態度，所有工具在使用之前均經過效化的過程。
資料以SPSSX套裝軟體視需要分別求頻率、相關及回歸分析。
研究結果顯示師專學生的基本自然科學知識偏低且高層次的思考能力不足。多數學生對科學據正確的觀念，但不願教自然科學。性別、科學知識及科學態度為預測國小職前教師自然科學教學態度之主要便因。所選擇的便因可解釋21%之態度之變異。

關鍵詞：職前師資培育、自然科教學態度、科學知識

The Preservice Elementary School Teachers' Attitude toward Science Teaching and Its Relationships with Selected Variables Author: Tien-Ying Lee(Department of Graduate Institute of Science Education, National Taiwan Normal University)

Abstract：

The purpose of this study is to understand preservice elementary shcool teach-ers' attitude towad science teaching and its relationships with selected variables. Se-lected variables included basic science knowledge, final grades of science courses, method course and student teaching, the number of science courses taken, gender, science process skills, scientific attitude, and reasoning ability. The 576 graduates from junior teacher colleges in 1990 were involved. Date were analyzed though frequencies, correlation and multiple regression. Results indicated that 90% of presservice teachers agreed with the importance and the nature of science. However, most of them were afraid of teaching science. Basic science knowledge, gender, scientific attitude are stronger predictors of preservice teachers' attitude toward sci-ence teaching.
