以E-CLASS分析實驗物理課程對學生的專家觀點變化

Abstract

大學的實驗課程對於科學課程，尤其是物理領域有著舉足輕重的地位。而實驗物理課程更是物理系學生踏入研究前培養專家能力的重要課程。本研究將借助專門用以評估大學物理實驗課程的工具：E-CLASS，分析大學的物理實驗課程是否有助於學生發展專家觀點。本研究透過E-CLASS問卷調查學生在修習「自然科學領域探究與實作」後，本科系學生是否能因此發展出實驗物理學家的專家觀點。研究發現學生在課程後的E-CLASS整體分數沒有顯著差異，然而受到課程目標的影響，使得問卷中部分單一題目的分數有著顯著變化。再者透過學生對於實驗觀點的質性簡答則發現學生的回應多能與課程目標切合。而透過本研究的結果，期望能幫助大學實驗物理課程能更有效的培養學生的實驗物理能力。

Experimental courses have an important place in science courses, especially in the field of physics. The experimental physics course is an important course for the students of the Department of Physics to cultivate their expert abilities before entering into research. This research uses E-CLASS: a tool dedicated to evaluating university physics lab courses to analyze whether university physics lab courses are helpful for students to develop expert’s views. This research uses the E-CLASS questionnaire to investigate whether students can develop an expert opinion of an experimental physicist after taking"Inquiry and Inquiry and Practice in Natural Science". The research found that there was no significant difference in the overall scores of students in the E-CLASS after the course. However, due to the impact of the course objectives, the scores of some single questions in the questionnaire changed significantly. Furthermore, through the qualitative short answers of students to the experimental viewpoints, it is found that the students' responses are mostly in line with the course objectives. Through the results of this research, it is expected to help the experimental physics course to cultivate students' experimental physics ability more effectively.
