第五章 結論與建議

第二節 建議

本研究根據晤談資料探討學生對基因相關概念的瞭解,也反應出 學生的基因相關概念隨著年齡增長之發展與遭遇的困境,根據上述結

果,給予教師教學、教科書編輯者編輯教材、以及未來研究上之建議 如下:

一、對教師教學的建議:

由學生學習基因相關概念後所展現的情形來看,隨著年齡增長,

學生學習到更多關於分子遺傳學的知識,但卻很難將這些知識與他們 已擁有的古典遺傳學的知識作清楚的區別。教師於教授遺傳學之基因 相關概念時,若能幫助學生統合兩邊的知識,將對學生學習遺傳學有 所助益,以下為幾點教學建議:

1. 教師應讓學生瞭解基因的多義性:

教師應幫助學生瞭解基因的定義會隨著不同時代背景、不同研 究領域而有所不同,而與基因相關的其他概念,諸如性狀、基因與性 狀的關係等等,亦隨著基因的定義改變而改變。如此可避免學生因學 習了不同的基因概念,而產生概念上的混淆與分裂。

2. 教師應幫助學生整合基因的物質形象與基因的功能定義:

學生初次正式接觸遺傳學教材是在國中,而目前國中生物學教科 書幾乎都有放置基因為雙股螺旋的圖片,因此教師在教學時應注意連 結基因的物質形象與基因功能定義。

3. 教師應幫助學生整合基因與其表現的關係:

教師在敎授基因的表現時,應注意將基因本身與基因的表現做連 結,而非只侷限於教材所舉的例子。教師應注意讓學生清楚瞭解什麼 是基因的表現,基因會影響什麼,而基因又是如何產生影響,如此才 能避免學生對基因的表現的概念只有片面而無法連貫的知識、固著於 教材所舉的範例,當學生遭遇到教材以外的例子時就無從類推。

4. 教師應注意學生可能對於性狀一詞使用的詞彙「性」而產生與 性別、性徵有所聯想的另有概念。

二、對教材編輯者的建議:

由學生學習遺傳學後所展現的情形來看,學生學習到關於古典遺 傳學與關於分子遺傳學的知識,但卻由於分段學習以致難以釐清兩邊 的知識,進而產生統整其基因相關概念上的困擾。以下為兩點教材編 輯之建議:

1. 教材編輯者應提及基因的多義性:

在編輯基因相關教材時,編輯者應說明基因的定義會隨著不同時 代背景、不同研究領域而有所不同,而與基因相關的其他概念,諸如 性狀、基因與性狀的關係等等,亦隨著基因的定義改變而改變,所以 在不同的情境之下,基因的涵義可能並不相同。

2. 編輯教材時應注意定義與範例的連結:

教材編輯者在提出「性狀」等專有名詞或概念時,應避免只採用 提供例子的方式,以免造成學生對該詞彙的概念只停留在教材的舉 例,往後只要遇到教材沒有提到的例子,學生就無從下判斷。編輯教 材時應將不同情境、不同研究領域下該詞彙的概念以文字描述說明,

再佐以與該定義吻合的範例。

三、未來研究方向的建議:

本研究採用質性晤談來分析學生的概念,受限於人力物力,僅晤 談北部地區四個年級共四十三位學生,為了未來更進一步、更深入的 探討,在此對於接下來本研究可行的發展方向提出下列幾點建議:

1. 由研究結果可看出學生的基因相關概念,未來之研究可增加更 多取樣對象,或採用不同背景的取樣對象,以本研究結果為基礎,再 以量化方式呈現應能看出更多結果。

2. 本研究可以進一步結合比較學生的學科知識成就,探討學生的 基因相關概念及學習上遭遇的困境,與學生表現出來的學科成就是否 有關。

3. 由研究結果可知,學生學習了古典遺傳學與分子遺傳學後,可 能會無法連結兩邊的知識,而造成其釐清概念時的困難。因此,如何 讓學生瞭解兩種遺傳學的差異、以及如何讓學生能夠融會與基因相關

的各種概念?是未來可以進一步探討的。

4. 未來亦可深入研究學生瞭解了兩種遺傳學的差異以及基因在 不同情境下的多義性之後,對於學生學習基因相關概念是否有所助 益。

5. 未來可研究學生認知中兩種遺傳學概念之關係,是否符合 Thagard 理論中探討新舊理論間的四種關係?隨著學生年齡增長,兩 種遺傳學中的基因相關概念之關係,是合併(incorporate)、含攝覆蓋 (sublate)、取代(supplant)或忽視不理(disregard)?
