臺灣中學教科書氣候變遷概念內容分析

Abstract

為了因應氣候變遷的加劇，在COP 28中，世界各國加強了對於氣候變遷的減緩措施，氣候變遷教育也逐漸受到重視。本研究以內容分析法探討依據臺灣十二年國民基本教育課程綱要撰寫之7～12年級教科書中關於「氣候變遷」課程的呈現方式與涵蓋內容。本研究與科學教育專家學者依據氣候變遷的研究與教育現況將氣候變遷課程內容分為「科學與科技概念」、「科學本質」、「與氣候變遷有關的人類-環境交互作用」、「氣候變遷對人類的衝擊」、「人類對於氣候變遷與環境威脅的因應」、「關於永續環境與氣候變遷的原則」以及「學習活動」共7個主類目以及其延伸的36個次類目，對各出版社經過教育部審定通過之社會科與自然科中學教科書共162冊進行內容分析，並對以下研究問題進行了解：一、在臺灣中學課程中，氣候變遷概念的發展情形如何？二、在臺灣中學教科書中，氣候變遷概念在教科書中的分布情況如何？三、在這些氣候變遷概念的內容中，知識類型的占比有何差異？四、這些氣候變遷概念的內容中，是否有傳達科學本質的觀點，其傳達科學本質的特點為何？期許透過了解氣候變遷課程的發展情形提出研究成果與建議，作為未來教科書編輯、課程發展以及課程綱要制訂的參考，使臺灣氣候變遷教育更加受到重視並趨於完整。

This study employs content analysis to explore how"climate change" is presented and covered in textbooks for grades 7 to 12, written in accordance with Taiwan's Curriculum Guidelines for the 12-Year Basic Education. Collaborating with experts in science education, this research categorizes climate change curriculum content into 7 main categories and 36 subcategories based on current research and educational status: "Science and technology ideas," "Human-environment interactions relevant to climate change," "Climate change impacts on humans," "Strategies of response to climate change and environmental threats," "Principles around sustainable human environments and climate change," "Nature of science," and "Suggested activities." The analysis examines 162 textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education from both social studies and natural science disciplines. The study addresses the following research questions: 1.How is the development of climate change concepts in secondary school curriculum in Taiwan? 2.How are climate change concepts distributed in secondary school textbooks in Taiwan? 3.What arethe differences in the proportions of knowledge types within these climate change concepts?4.Do these climate change concepts convey the nature of science, and what are the characteristics of this conveyance?By understanding the development of climate change curriculum, this research aims to provide findings and recommendations for future textbook editing, curriculum development, and curriculum guideline formulation, thereby enhancing the importance and comprehensiveness of climate change education in Taiwan.
