Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 科學應用與推廣學系科學教育碩士班 === 100 === This study investigates the changes of misconceptions to the students of the third grade in the elementary school after reading the teachers’ essays of scientific narratives. In addition, we investigate the development process and difficulties to grade teachers through writing process from researchers’ point of view. We hope to provide teachers a reference of changing misconceptions by using scientific narratives in the future. This study adopts a third-grade class in the elementary, which is located in the central Taiwan, as an object of study. First, the researcher, a class teacher, choose twenty-seven students, who were asked a test of “Two-tier diagnostic quiz of insect concept for the middle grade”, to understand students’ misconceptions. Next, based on the insect misconception from students, a circulation will be used. The researcher wrote essays as scientific narratives, in which students must attend the pretest before reading the essay and post-test after reading that, to understand the change of misconceptions. Finally, the researcher modified the scientific narratives through ternary circulation from the feedbacks of students’ learning outcomes. In this study, which we collected to be generalized, sorted, and analyzed, including of scientific narratives, questionnaires, diary records of writing, and records of interviews.
The result of this study shows that the scientific narratives expanded from students’ misconceptions can clarify the original insect misconceptions of students, and promote students the interest of reading scientific narratives as well. In addition, researchers survey the writing process of scientific narratives to generalize the writing skills, which can improve students’ comprehension. Finally, researchers do introspection at specialized growth in writing process, and recommend regarding creation of scientific reading materials, talented person cultivation, and future research.
