Longitudinal Study on Attitudes of Students Towards Science and Mathematics

本研究是对1989学年以来的《科学与数学纵向研究》的后续研究，旨在获得国家课程和社会影响对学生成绩和修课态度的影响的重要信息。我们于2006年对5个地区的公办高中11年级学生进行了调查，并于2007年对5个地区的公办初中8年级学生进行了调查。我们发现对高一年级学生的调查结果与1995年的调查结果比较如下：在科学测试方面，2006年的正确率为55%，与1995年相同。2006年的20个问题中，6个问题的正确率与1995年的正确率相差5%以上，有2个问题增加，4个问题减少。在数学考试中，2006年的正确率为62%，与1995年持平。2006年的20个问题中，4个问题的正确率与1995年相差5%以上，有2个问题增加，2个问题减少。我们发现，与1992年和2003年的调查相比，八年级学生的调查结果如下：在科学测试中，1992年的正确率为59%，2003年为53%，2007年为53%。2007年的20个题目中，2个题目的正确率与2003年相差5%以上，而且2007年的某一个题目的正确率有所上升，而另一个题目的正确率有所下降。在数学测试中，1992年的正确率为57%，2003年为54%，2007年为55%，两者相差不大。2007年的20个题目中，2个题目的正确率与2003年相差5%以上，而且2007年的某一题目增加了，某一题目减少了。

This study is a follow-up study of Longitudinal Study on Science and Mathematics since 1989 school year in order to gain important information of the influences of national curricula and social influences on scores and attitudes of students to revise the Courses of Study.We implemented the surveys of eleventh-grade students of public upper secondary schools in five areas in 2006 and the ones of eighth-grade students of public lower secondary schools in the same five areas in 2007.We found the surveys of eleventh-grade students showed the results compared with ones in 1995 as follows ;Concerning science test, the percent correct in 2006 was 55% which were the same percentage in 1995. The percent correct of six items in twenty items in 2006 were more than five percent points different from the percentages in 1995, and two items in 2006 had increases and four items had decreases. Concerning math test, the percent correct in 2006 was 62% which were the same percentage in 1995. The percent correct of four items in twenty items in 2006 were more than five percent points different from the percentages in 1995, and two items in 2006 had increases and two items had decreases.We found the surveys of eighth-grade students showed the results compared with ones in 1992 and 2003 as follows ;Concerning science test, the percent correct were 59% in 1992, 53% in 2003 and 53% in 2007. The percent correct of two items in twenty items in 2007 were more than five percent points different from the percentages in 2003, and an item in 2007 had increases and an item had decreases. Concerning math test, the percent correct were 57% in 1992, 54% in 2003 and 55% in 2007, and they were few difference. The percent correct of two items in twenty items in 2007 were more than five percent points different from the percentages in 2003, and an item in 2007 had increase and an item had decrease.
