科學教育

教育部於2011 年全面推動海洋教育，海洋教育成為各級學校融入課程的方向。在推動海洋教育的過程中，各級教師的海洋知識與素養實為推動之主力，但海洋教育在現階段課程與教材相當缺乏，相關內容在教科書中所佔的比例不超過5%，對實際推動海洋教育的教師而言是一大挑戰。再者，國內融入海洋教育的課程與活動極少，進行方式多以海洋議題專題演講呈現，教師不易將內容轉化至課堂當中，造成海洋教育無法落實在現場教學中。臺灣四面環海，每個人的生活均與海洋息息相關。教育部有感於海洋教育之重要性，特別將海洋教育列為中小學課程之重大議題。科學教育應用概念圖於有意義的學習及診斷概念，對海洋科學概念學習具有實質意義。因此，本研究主要目的為：1.應用概念圖命題模式評量國小海洋素養情況2.診斷國小學生海洋迷思概念之情形。3.提出未來推動策略以提升國小海洋素養。本研究以台灣地區國小學生為對象，研究樣本將分成北中南東四個區域抽樣，每校抽取中高年級一個班，概念圖問卷調查法進行研究，質性與量化數據瞭解國小學生海洋素養情況，預計發出600 份問卷。本研究的結果可供我國海洋教育與環境教育相關研究及國小教師參考，以提升海洋教育在學校課程之實施成效。By including marine education as a major topic in the 2011 curriculum syllabus published by the Ministry of Education, marine education has become increasingly integrated into educational curricula at every level. In the process of promoting marine education, the ocean literacy, and comprehension of teachers at each level is the primary force behind the popularization of marine education. However, suitable marine education curricula and teaching materials are lacking: the ratio of relevant content in textbooks does not exceed 5%. Therefore, the insufficient amount of relevant content presents a significant challenge for teachers in promoting marine education. Furthermore, the number of domestic science courses and activities related to marine education training is extremely minimal, and such training is primarily conducted in the form of brief keynote speeches that are difficult for teachers to apply in the classroom. Taiwan is an island surrounded by the sea; thus, the ocean is critical to the people of Taiwan. The Ministry of Education recognizes the importance of marine education and has made marine education a significant topic in the elementary and middle school curriculum. Adhering to the concept of “meaningful learning” in constructivist theory, we developed and applied concept map method（open-ended tasks）to conduct empirical research of marine science concepts and clarify those misconceptions. Therefore, the main purposes of this study were (1) to examine the conditions of marine science concepts of elementary school students and (2) to assess the marine science misconceptions of elementary school students and (3) Future development strategies to promote ocean literacy in Taiwan.We will adopt a survey method for this study, which will conduct on students from 4 areas (North, Center, South, East ) in Taiwan. A total of 600 questionnaires will be distributed. The results of this study can provide suggestions and references for teachers and those who care about the ocean, environmental education to increase the effectiveness of infusing marine education into school curricula.
