[[alternative]]On Activity: an Example of Pre-Service Teachers in the Field of Natural Science and Living Technology( I )
[[abstract]]The issue of STEM is emphasized in recent years, and one of the major trends is focused on developing the STEM innovators. According to the trend of developing the STEM innovators, this study will take the pre-service teachers in the field of natural science and living technology as research subjects, and focus on exploring the effects of integrating the STEM knowledge, design and making skills in STEM hands-on activity, on the one hand, and developing the pre-service teachers’ competency in integrating cross-subject teaching, on the other hand. That is, the research purposes of this study will be focused on the following: (1) to develop STEM hands-on activity in developing pre-service teachers’ competency in integrating cross-subject teaching in the field of natural science and living technology; (2) to explore the pre-service teachers’ learning process, difficulties, and solutions of integrating theory and practice in STEM hands-on activity; (3) to explore the pre-service teachers’ learning process of encoding, inference, mapping, and application in STEM hands-on activity; (4) to analyze the effects of integrating analogical reasoning processes with STEM hands-on activity in integrating pre-service teachers’ STEM knowledge, design and making skills; (5) to explore pre-service teachers’ learning process in utilizing the reflective inquiry for increasing the secondary experience in integrating STEM knowledge; (6) to analyze the effects of integrating self-regulated learning theory with STEM hands-on activity in integrating pre-service teachers’ STEM knowledge, design and making skills; (7) to explore the pre-service teachers’ learning process in inquiring the application of STEM knowledge in the process of design and making; (8) to analyze the effects of integrating inquiry learning strategy with STEM hands-on activity in integrating pre-service teachers’ STEM knowledge, design and making skills. In order to achieve the previous research purposes, the content analysis, panel discussion, action research, and grounded theory will be employed in this study for the purpose of exploring the effects of integrating the STEM knowledge, design and making skills in STEM hands-on activity, and developing the pre-service teachers’ competency in integrating cross-subject teaching in the field of natural science and living technology.
透過中小學科技素養課程以培育學生創造力之探討
[[abstract]]For those countries without rich natural resources, their major strategy of increasing the national competition ability is to develop people's abilities in innovation and creativity. Consequently, the major issue in education will be how to develop human resources with creativity. Through the process of literature reviewing and analyzing, this paper indicates that technological literacy curriculum can play an important role in developing students' creativity, especially in integrating the approaches of "interdisciplinary integration" and "modelling". In summary, technological literacy curriculum can provide the best opportunity for students to develop their creativity.
