尽管现有研究已经记录了学生兴趣、参与度和学习成果之间的重要关系，但有限的研究调查了成年人对学习科学的兴趣和参与度与他们的科学能力和环境行动之间的关系。本研究使用了 2012 年和 2015 年的国家数据集，这些数据集是通过面对面访谈收集的，代表了台湾公民对社会科学的理解和接触的兴趣和参与如何与他们的科学能力和环境行动协同相互作用。结果表明，参与学习比兴趣更能预测科学能力和环境行动。此外，与观看科学相关的电视节目相比，参观科学博物馆似乎是促进成年人环保行动的更好途径。这些发现揭示了通过科学传播促进成人环境行动的有效策略以及深度科学学习的重要性。
Although existing research has documented the significant relationship among student interest, engagement, and learning outcome, limited studies have investigated how adults’ interest and engagement in learning science are related to their scientific competency and environmental action. This study used 2012 and 2015 national datasets which were collected from face-to-face interviews representing how the interest and engagement of Taiwan citizens in understanding and exposure to science in society synergistically interact with their scientific competency and environmental action. Results showed that engagement in learning is more predictive to scientific competency and environmental action than interest. In addition, engagement in visiting science museums appears to be a superior venue for promoting adults’ environmental action than watching science related TV programs. These findings reveal an effective strategy of promoting adult environmental action through science communication and the importance of deep science learning.
