| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 數理教育研究所碩士在職專班 === 106 === The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of hands-on experiments on rural elementary school students’ science achievement and attitudes toward science. The quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. The experimental group (hands-on experiments) consists of 61 third-grade to sixth-grade students from public elementary schools in remote areas. The control group (general teaching) consists of 63 third-grade to sixth-grade students from public elementary schools in remote areas. The research instruments include the science achievement test and the attitudes toward science questionnaire. Data were analyzed using one-way ANCOVA. The major findings of this study are as follows:
1. Hands-on experiments can effectively enhance rural elementary school students’ science achievement.
2. Hands-on experiments can effectively enhance rural elementary school students’ attitudes toward science itself, attitudes toward participating in scientific inquiry, and attitudes toward science.
