英文摘要
|
The purpose of this study was to develop a ”Scientific Inquiry Ability Test (SIAT)” that measure students' scientific inquiry ability. The participants included 278 sixth grade students from Kaohsiung city. Six scales were developed: observation ability, analysis ability, transformation ability, inferring thinking ability, critical thinking ability, and creative thinking ability. For each scale, the Cronbach's alpha were .64, .80, .65, .59, .61, .29. There were significant correlations (p<.001) of the SIAT with students' GPA of Nature Subject (r=.68). Average and extraordinary scientific inquiry ability groups showed a significant differences (p<.001) on their SIAT scores. To examine the factor structure by utilizing confirmatory factor analysis, the scientific inquiry ability theoretical model and collected data had reached a good fit. The scale of creative thinking ability needs to be modified further in order to improve the reliability.
