本系設立的宗旨,首在養成學生具備地球科學五大學術領域–地質學、大氣科學、海洋科學、天文學和地球物理–充分之本職學能;本系的教育目標,則首重致力培養有志從事地球科學之專精人才,以培育優秀之地球科學研究人才和實務工作的專業人才為主軸,並以培養優良的中學地球科學師資為輔。特別是在國內各地球科學相關系所中,本系是唯一同時涵蓋五大地球科學研究領域,並擁有師範大學在科學教育專業基礎的高等學術機構,此為本系之特色。若志在從事中等學校地科教學,本系亦可提供地科教學知能和教育專業知識,充分培育健全之地球科學師資。

在課程上,為營造更優質的學習與研究環境,本系已適度調整原以師資培育目標為主的舊有課程架構,整合各地球科學次領域之基礎課程,降低本系必、選修課程之比例,大幅減少各次領域之必修課程學分,以增加學生在各次領域課程選修之自由度及彈性,進而充分落實各次領域之專業進階課程。此外本系並積極鼓勵學生,實際參與實驗、撰寫論文、從事專題計畫研究等,以豐富其研究經驗,訓練學生使其具備獨立研究之精神與能力。經由選修本系提供之更多進階專業課程,進而厚植學生之理論基礎、充實其專業背景,並強化其選定目標次領域之學術養成和專業訓練;連同充足的研究經驗,本系學生的未來發展,將更具時代性與面對挑戰時的競爭力,進一步達到「博而精、廣而深」的終極目標。近來本系更積極增聘優秀外籍專任師資,以全英語教學方式授課,期能增加學生之國際觀與國際競爭力。

本系在碩、博士班研究所的教育上,採一系多所之架構,除地球科學研究所外,還包括海洋環境科技研究所。本系研究所的研究重點與發展方向,首在地球科學各領域之深耕與研究發展,並加強各次領域間之跨學門合作,以進一步提升本系之學術研究及國際化,並為本系學生的訓練和學習,提供全面全方位的考量,以訓練學生從容面對多變的世界,因應未來的挑戰。

    國小學童認知結構發展分析:以探究式教學為例
    (2008) 黃昭銘; Chao-Ming Huang
    Understanding how people think, organize and develop knowledge is an important issue for educational researchers. Recently, relevant research revealed the connections between cognitive structures and information processing strategies. The research of metacognition also indicated that the metacognition was related to individual’s learning outcomes. Moreover, it revealed that the relationship between metacognition and information processing was significant. This study tried to explore the development of cognitive structure, including the indicators of extent and richness. Besides, the application of metacognitive regulation strategies, including selecting, short-term maintaining, long-term maintaining, updating and rerouting, were explored. Additionally, the usage of information processing strategies, including defining, describing, comparing, conditional inferring and explaining, were also investigated. This study also investigated the effect of instructional modes in these indicators. Besides, this study also tried to construct a convenient questionnaire, Pupils MetaCognition Scale (PMCS), for understanding pupils’ metacognition. This study interviewed 110 Taiwanese elementary students (the sixth graders), who came from four different classes. Two classes were categorized into an experimental group (inquiry instructional mode, n=54) and two classes were categorized into a control group (traditional instructional mode, n=56).According to students’ science achievement, each group of students was categorized into three different achiever groups, including the high achiever group, the middle achiever group and the low achiever group. The interaction between instructional modes and different achiever groups was presented. Data collection covered three different units, including bicycle unit, rust-proof and decay-proof unit, and energy and eco-conservation. The role of knowledge domain was also discussed in this study. The result revealed that the PMCS outcomes were related to the cognitive structure, metacognitive regulation strategies and information processing strategies. The PMCS questionnaire provided a convenient tool in the exploration of metacognition. Besides, the finding also revealed that the flow map method could be extended its potential function and offered for further applications. Besides, this study revealed that the relationship between information processing and metacognitive regulation was significant. This study suggested that the inquiry instructional mode could enhance students’ application of higher-rank strategies in learning, including updating strategy, rerouting strategy, conditional inferring strategy and explaining strategy. The finding indicated that different achiever groups used different strategies in learning. The high achievers outperformed in higher-order strategies, including richness, updating strategy, rerouting strategy, conditional inferring strategy and explaining strategy. The middle achievers used the strategies more frequently than the low achievers; for example, extent, selecting and long-term maintaining. Moreover, it revealed that the interaction between instructional modes and achievement was significant in the indicator, including richness, short-term maintaining strategy and rerouting strategy, especially for the high achievers. This study also explored the role of knowledge domain. According to the findings, it revealed that the effect of knowledge domain was significant across all twelve indicators. The content of instructional activities would influence the connections between prior knowledge and scientific knowledge. The findings also highlighted the importance of prior knowledge. The interaction between knowledge domain and achievement was significant in higher-rank strategies, including richness, updating, rerouting, conditional inferring and explaining. The findings suggested that the students’ learning outcomes mainly depended on students’ academic achievement, application of metacognitive regulation strategies and information processing strategies. It also revealed that different instructional modes, knowledge domain and content of instructional activities influenced students’ performance on their cognitive structures, the usage of metacognitive regulation strategies, and information processing strategies.
