Abstract
摘要
The objective of the present study is to reveal whether there were any significant differences in teachers’ general views of Science and Technology Curriculum teaching at primary schools in 2009-2010 school term, taking into consideration the school/program they finished, their classroom condition, classroom size and analysis in 2005.Curriculum. In the present study, survey design, one of descriptive designs in research methods, was conducted in which questionnaires prepared by the researcher were used in order to get teachers’ views. The questionnaires were administered to 68 out of 74 Science and Technology Teachers teaching at 85 primary schools in towns and villages alike in Erzincan. The data were analysed through SPSS and the arithmetic means and standard deviations were measured. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were conducted. The results of the study showed teachers’ positive views on the Science and Technology Curriculum while they showed lack of knowledge about the curriculum, viability of, and exact practice of the curriculum.
本研究的目的是,揭示在科學和技術課程教學的教師的一般看法,在2009-2010學期小學,是否有任何顯著的差異,考察他們在2005年的課堂狀況,課堂大小和分析。在本研究中,研究員編制的問卷進行問卷設計,描述性研究方法的設計,是為了得到老師的意見。問卷進行至6874科技教師教學,85所在埃爾津詹城鎮和村莊小學。通過SPSS軟件對數據進行分析,算術平均值和標準差進行測量。采用Mann-Whitney U檢驗和Kruskal-Wallis檢驗進行研究。結果表明,科學和技術課程教師的積極的意見,而他們表現出缺乏知識課程,可行性和具體實踐的課程。

INTRODUCTION
介紹
In the age of information and technology when scientific knowledge is becoming more and more of great importance, and the impact of science and technology is clearly observed in every part of life, it is obvious that Science and Technology Instruction plays a key role in the future of societies. All societies, specifically the developed ones, are constantly increasing the quality of Science and Technology Education. Therefore, there is a clear need to develop curricula in order to better understand and teach science. #p#分頁標題#e#
在信息和技術時代,科學知識越來越受到重視,對科學和技術的影響,清楚地影響到生活的每一個部分,很明顯,在未來社會科學與技術教學中起著關鍵作用。所有的社會,特別是發達國家,都在不斷增加科技教育的質量。因此,有一個明確的需要開發,以更好地理解和傳授科學的課程。
The new of science curriculum prepared by a group of scientists has been seriously and academically investigated. A lot of effort was made to orientate successful students toward science. In the science curriculum, scientific applications and studies concerning students’ daily lives form only a small portion. Considering such an approach, emancipation of thought, discussed widely in the 19thcentury was replaced by researching and investigation. The main aim of the scientific world is to raise a society of knowledge in order to have a positive view on the scholars and their works (Ye?ilda?, 2009).
新的科學課程編制由一組科學家和學術者們認真的準備了。對讓學生成功對科學定位作出
了很多努力。在科學課程中,學生日常生活有關的科學應用和研究形成,只有一小部分。考慮這樣的做法,解放思想,廣泛討論研究和調查,在19世紀已被取代。科學界的主要目的是提高社會知識,才能有正面看法的學者和他們的作品(Ye?ilda?,2009)。
Rapid developments in science and technology as well as the process of change made a significant impact on curriculum development. While determining the content and strategies of Science and Technology curriculum, this quality was taken into consideration. Science and Technology is not only a sum of realities about the world but also a way of research and thinking based on empirical measures, critical thinking and constant investigation. Therefore, in teaching Science and Technology, the objective is to help individuals to learn to reach information directly through investigation, revise and reconstruct his/her world view as she/he learns and improves his/her wish to learn. A myriad of significant changes in the field of curriculum development were reported
http://ukthesis.org/jyx/ particularly in the USA, the Netherlands, England and Germany (Halat, Do?an and Marulcu, 2005).
在科學和技術,以及變化的過程中,迅速發展課程發展取得了顯著的影響。確定科學與科技課程的內容和策略的同時,考慮質量。科學技術不僅是一個總和約占世界的現實,也是一種研究和思考的基礎上的經驗措施,批判性思維和不斷的調查。因此,在教學中科學和技術,目的是幫助個人學習達到直接通過調查信息,修改和重建他/她的世界觀,他/她學習并提高了他/她學習意愿。無數課程的開發領域重大變化,特別是在美國,荷蘭,英國和德國(哈拉特,Dogan和Marulcu的等,2005)。#p#分頁標題#e#
