本研究欲瞭解大專學生在社會性科學議題範疇中的科學知識觀、線上資訊搜尋策略與論證能力之間的關係。藉由「電磁波危害」之正反立場的新聞報導的思考,來探討學生在面對社會性科學議題之情境時,其科學知識觀、線上資訊搜尋策略、搜尋成果之展現,以及搜尋前後的立場改變和論證表現之情形。
本研究設計為單一組別前後測,採用便利取樣的方式來進行樣本的選取,研究對象為48位台北縣市大專院校之學生。實驗流程主要分為搜尋前和搜尋後兩個階段,搜尋前先請學生閱讀「電磁波危害」之正反立場的兩篇新聞報導,並填寫科學知識觀量表和論證學習單以作為前測之用,其後則進行線上資訊的搜尋;搜尋後則請學生填寫線上資訊搜尋策略量表和論證學習單,以作為後測之用。
本研究之結果可分為三大面向來加以說明:
一、 大專學生的科學知識觀、線上資訊搜尋策略與搜尋成果之整體現況。
整體而言,大專學生對於「來源」的知識觀點較偏向實證取向,而對於「控制」和「選擇主要概念」這兩項線上資訊搜尋策略的表現較佳;在搜尋成果部分可發現,學生參考非科學類網站的平均數量高於科學類網站。
二、 大專學生對社會性科學議題的論證能力之表現情形。
學生在搜尋後的論證表現顯著優於搜尋前的論證表現,然而,在論證過程中能夠有效使用反駁或科學證據來強化其主張的學生並不多。
三、 大專學生的科學知識觀、線上搜尋策略、搜尋成果與論證能力之關係。
科學知識觀、線上資訊搜尋策略以及搜尋後的論證能力三者之間具有顯著的正向關係;而搜尋成果的「非科學性網站」與科學知識觀和線上資訊搜尋策略呈現顯著的負向關係。
因此,根據本研究的結果可知,當學生的科學知識觀較偏向建構主義,以及線上資訊搜尋策略的能力較佳時,其搜尋後的論證能力亦會有較好的表現。
The purpose of this study is to examine university students’ scientific epistemological views (SEV), use of online search strategies and argumentation ability, when they encounter the socioscientific issues. Forty-eight participants of this study came from different universities in the northern Taiwan. All participants were required to take SEV questionnaire, Online Information Searching Strategies Inventory (OISSI), and a reasoning survey with open-ended questions designed to assess argument skills. The reasoning survey contained some controversial arguments revolved around a socioscientific issue, that is, “Whether the electromagnetic wave (EMV) could cause cancers?” Students were administrated to take the SEV questionnaire first and then proceed to the reasoning survey. The survey started with two conflicting news reports about the effects of EMV on human health. Students had to read the reports and then make judgments about the EMV effects. Afterward, these students were led to an online search task. After finishing the online information search, participants were asked to reason again about the target issue. The OISSI was conduced last. Correlation, One-way and Chi-square analyses were implemented to find out the possible relations among variables.
The analyses of the study revealed that the dimension of “Source” of students’ SEV was less constructivist-oriented. As far as OISSI was concerned, the dimensions of “Control” and “Select main idea” received higher scores than other dimensions did. Students’ argument skills improved after the online search task, but the performances of rebuttal and the use of science evidence remained undeveloped. By regression, it was found that students’ SEV and the use of online search strategies could predict students’ performances of argument skills.
In conclusion, the result of the study suggests that when university students posses constructivist-oriented SEV, and have developed better online search strategies, they would produce better argumentation results.
