摘要本研究旨在探讨野外经验对学生科学过程知识及生物学成就的影响。本研究采用实验性、2 × 2、前测、后测对照组设计。研究样本由两个完整班级的100名生物学学生组成。提出了四个研究问题，并归结为四个假设。在0.05的显著性水平下，使用t检验统计量检验前三个假设。第四个假设用Pearson积矩相关统计量进行检验。本研究的主要发现包括：实地考察学生的科学过程测验成绩在前后测上有显著差异;有实地考察经历的学生与没有实地考察经历的学生的科学过程测验成绩有显著差异;有实地考察经历的学生与没有实地考察经历的学生的生物学成就测验成绩有显著差异;科学过程得分与生物学成绩得分之间有很强的相关性。研究结果表明，野外考察活动能增强学生对科学过程的理解，改善学生对生物学的态度，并对学生的生物学成绩产生显著影响。
Abstract The major purpose of this study was to determine the effects of field experiences on students’ knowledge of process of science and biology achievement. The design of the study was experimental, 2 x 2, pre-test, post-test control group design. The sample of the study consisted of 100 biology students in two intact classes. Four research questions were raised and collapsed to four hypotheses. The first three hypotheses were tested with t-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance. The fourth hypothesis was tested with Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistic. The major findings of this study included: a significance difference in process of science scores between pre-test and posttest of field trip students; a significant difference in process of science test scores between students exposed to field trip experiences and those who were not exposed; a significant difference in biology achievement test scores between students exposed to field trip experiences and those who were not; and a strong correlation between process of science score and biology achievement score. It was concluded that field trip experiences enhanced students’ understanding of process of science, improved students’ attitude towards biology and significantly influenced their biology achievement.
