高中學生科學實用能力評量之研究

The Assessment of Practical Ability on Science by High School Students

本研究旨在發展高中學生科學實用智能的評量工具，研究者編製「科學實用能力測驗」，其內容包括數學和自然兩部分，由10位專家審核建立內容效度，並以與其他性向測驗之相關、分測驗間之相關和團體差異分析等方式建立構念效度；信度部分則以內部一致性和重測方式來建立；本測驗並以臺灣地區l，263位公立高中學生測驗資料建立常模。研究結果顯示「科學實用能力測驗」為具有良好信效度之評量工具，可用以評量高中學生應用數學及自然科學的原理原則解決真實生活中問題之能力。

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for measuring practical intelligence on science of high school students. Participants consisted of regular students from grades 10 to 11 in public high schools as well as their gifted peers. The “Practical Science Ability Test' (PSAT) was dwveloped and standardized for the purpose. In PAST, there involve math and science subtests. Both content validity and discriminative validuty were established for the PSAT, and its internal consistency and test-retest reliability were found acceptable. The PSAT was standardized through the norm group of 1263 high school students. The result showed that the PSAT could be used to evaluate that to which extent the high school students apply principles in math and science to solve practical problems in real life.
