Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 教育研究所 === 107 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of integrating community resources into the science teaching of all-out defence education.Four classes of 7th graders (n=101) were selected as the experimental group who were taught with field trips to local community resources such as warship museum and historical castle that were related to the application of scientific concents.Addition five classes of students(n=127) who were taught with typical school resources participated in the study as the comparison group.Both groups were pre- and post-tested the PISA 2015 student questionnaire of attitudes toward science and the assessment of contextalized scientific literacy test items. The collected data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, one-way ANCOVA, and one-way ANOVA using SPSS 24 software for quantitative analysis. The results showed that: First, with the implementation of All-out Defense Education curriculum integrated into the community resources of this study, the experimental group students outperformed their counterparts on scientific literacy performance, later, there were significant differences in the self-developed scientific literacy assessment tool. Second, there was no significant difference on the attitude toward science between the two groups. Third, consider the background factors of students̕ gender, parental occupation, reading time outside of school.There is no significant difference among the students with different backgrounds on their performances of scientific literacy and attitudes toward science.
