| 英文摘要 | Cultivating students' scientific attitudes serves two purposes: (1) helping students fully understand the essence of science as well as scientific behavior; (2) helping students better develop their character. Based on this theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate the essence of scientific attitudes and the factors . influencing the scientific attitudes of the Junior High School students. There were 764 subjects selected from second year (grade) students (around 14 years old) of 4 Junior High Schools in Taipei, 369 boys and 395 girls. Data collected came from the "Junior High School I.Q. test," the "personal Characteristics Data Inventory," and other forms designed by the researcher, such as "Junior-High-School-Students Scientific Attitude Inventory," "Child -rearing Practice Questionaire" and "Teachers' Instructional Characteristics Description Questionnaire." From these, we obtained background information on each student to include I.Q. test scores, family social and economical status, grade point average in natural science courses, their family child-rearing practice and their teacher', instructional characteristics. Together with this information, we obtained scores for every-student about six scientific attitudes: "discreetness," "curiosity," "objectivity ," "perserverance," "cooperation" and "scientific beliefs." The data were statistically analyzed three ways. The relationships among the six scientific attitudes were analyzed using Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient. Differences between male and female students' scientific attitudes ,with the influences of different child-rearing practices and teachers' instructional characteristics were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA. Step-wise multiple linear regression was used to analyze how the six scientific attitudes were affected in terms of "sex differences" "family social and economical status," "grades of natural science courses," "family child-rearing practices" and "teachers' instructional characteristics." The conclusions of the study were as follows: 1. Students varied with sex differences in all attitudes except the attitude of “discreetness. " Male students were better in "curiosity," "objectivity," “perserverance" and "scientific beliefs." Female students were better in "cooperation." 2. The variation in instruction by different teachers caused great distinctions between students in all the scientific attitudes. None of these distinctions, except for the one in "curiosity," interacted with sex differences. The students who scored in the high-score group under "teachers' instructional characteristics" were better in all scientific attitudes than students who scored in the mid or low-score group. Students in the middle group were better than low-score group students in all attitudes. 3. Students from different family child-rearing practices differed in these scientific attitudes. These differences, except in "curiosity," had no interaction with sex differences. Students who scored in the high-score group under "family child-rearing practices" were better in all scientific attitudes than mid-score and low-score group students. Mid-score group students were better than low-score group students in the attitudes of "objectivity," "discreetness," and "perserverance." 4. Students' scientific attitudes were inextricably related to the influence of “family child-rearing practices," "teachers' instructional characteristics," "sex differences," "family social and economical status," "natural science grades," and “I.Q. test score. " Both "family child-rearing practices" and "teachers' instructional characteristics" had decisive influence on all scientific attitudes. "Sex differences" played a decisive role in the attitudes of "curiosity," "cooperation," "perserverance," and "scientific beliefs." "Natural science grades influenced "curiosity" and "objectivity." "Family social and economical status" might affect "curiosity" and "perserverance." These variables may explain the variance of the scientific attitudes to approximately 16% to 19%, Based on these findings, three suggestions can be made as follows: 1. Education within the family needs strengthening. Democratic and rational ways of teaching are desirable. 2. The spirit of the "teaching by inquiry" method is worthwhile in cultivating students' scientific attitudes. Also, students' individual differences must be noted. 3. Study measurement (or evaluation) techniques should be improved in order to develop students' scientific attitudes. |
