2015大眾科學素養的脈絡與文化國際學術研討會

【The International conference of civic science literacy and science culture】

活動日期：104/11/05–08

活動地點：中山大學社會科學院、通識教育中心

主辦單位：中山大學公民素養推動研究中心

研討會目的：

本研討會主要有兩個重點，一是公民科學素養調查資料的推廣，其二是與國際之聯結。公民科學素養調查資料是科技部委託之有關成年人對科學的認知、態度以及興趣之長期資料庫，每次調查約兩百題左右題目，至今分別於2008年、2012年、2015年進行三次資料收集。本次國際研討會，除了邀請研究團隊以及同好發表文章，透過與台灣教育研究協會( TERA)一起舉辦，把公民科學素養調查資料庫推廣至教育學界。國際研討會的舉辦，對於國外學者的來訪，提供主辦單位，以及國內學者，提供了一個與國外學者深入交流的機會。另外在國際合作方面，未來將會繼續與本次邀請之三個國家(美國、英國、保加利亞)的研究團隊繼續合作。

研討會成果：

本次研討會在促進創新及國際合作計畫的進展上，有豐富成果。經過本次研討會語彙國內外學者交換意見，有以下三個可能國際合作研究計畫，在非制式科學教育研究方面，邀請兩位來自美國的非制式教育重量級的學者(John Falk & Lynn D. Dierking)演講有關在非制式科學教育之最新研究，並參與跨國合作構想論壇，預計本研究團隊未來將會參加美國John Falk主持「綜合效應：設計介入實驗以維持青少年的STEM科學興趣和參與」跨國調查研究。此外，來自英國倫敦政經學院的Martin W. Bauer教授，亦發表科學文化之最新研究構想，並提出「科學研究機構促進大眾參與」跨國合作計畫邀請。來自保加利亞的Martin Ivanov則演講有關與德國跨國合作研究之培養大學生運用永續發展概念在綠色科技創新企業產品計畫，對於永續生態企業精神的培養模式，是未來大學永續發展教育值得發展的重要面向，未來如有機會，將會繼續與保加利亞、德國進行此一方面的合作研究。
