Longitudinal Study on Attitudes of Students Towards Science and Mathematics

本研究是1989学年以来《科学与数学纵向研究》的后续研究，目的是了解国家课程和社会影响对学生学习成绩的影响以及学生对课程修订的态度。我们于2006年对五个地区的公办高中十一年级学生进行了调查，并于2007年对五个地区的公办初中八年级学生进行了调查。结果显示，十一年级学生的调查结果与1995年的调查结果相比，2006年的正确率为55%，与1995年的正确率相同。2006年20项中有6项的正确率与1995年的百分比相差5个百分点以上，2006年有2项增加，4项减少。在数学考试方面，2006年的正确率为62%，与1995年的正确率相同。通过对八年级学生的问卷调查，发现与1992年和2003年相比，八年级学生的答题正确率分别为：1992年59%、2003年53%、2007年53%。2007年20道题中有两道题的正确率与2003年的百分比相差5个百分点以上，2007年一道题的正确率有所上升，一项题的正确率有所下降。在数学考试方面，1992年的正确率为57%，2003年为54%，2007年为55%，差异不大。2007年20道题中有两道题的正确率与2003年的百分比相差5个百分点以上，2007年一道题的正确率有所上升，一项题的正确率有所下降。

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.
