就讀不同學制的學生在科學素養表現之分析－以臺灣PISA 2012為例

Abstract

With the developments of modern technology, our daily lives are closely related to science in every aspect. Therefore, for the better science education of the coming generations, we need to have a further study of their scientific literacy environments. In order to enhance the national competition among the global village and help students learn better, this study is based on the results of Taiwanese students attending the PISA 2012 Survey and Study to analyze the causes which affect their science study and learning. This research adopts quantity study methods using samples collected form 6,046 students. By applying descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA methods, this study is conducted to have a further understanding of this topic. This study is based on the database of PISA 2012, comparing the scientific literacy of students from different school system. The results shows that the scientific literacy of students from different school system presents significant differences in PISA 2012, senior high school students perform best and then junior high school students and junior college students, vocational students shows relatively worse than the others. The factors affect the performance of scientific literacy of different school system includes individual, family and school. In individual aspect, gender shows the impact on the scientific literacy of senior high school and junior college students, but it is not able to conclude which gender performs better. In family aspect: 1. In different school system, parents with higher social economic status or family with more abundant educational resources, students’ scientific literacy perform better; 2. The students of senior high school, vocational high school and junior college who use Mandarin at home perform significantly better in scientific literacy than those who use other languages at home; 3. The time spent on after school studies of junior high school and senior high school students show significant differences on scientific literacy. In school aspect: 1. The scientific literacy of vocational school students show no significant differences on different class hours of Science; 2. For junior high school students, senior high school students and junior college students, the less limitations of school teaching efficiency the better scientific literacy students can perform; 3. The bigger scale the school is for junior high school and junior college students, the better scientific literacy students can perform than smaller scale schools. At last, according to the above conclusions, suggestions are made for future policies and researches.
