The purpose of this study was to design a communicative reading science text teaching program for indigenous students and to explore the effects of their science reading comprehension and attitudes toward science. This study employed "Practical Reflection Action Research". Nine indigenous students with low Chinese achievement were invited to join the science reading teaching program (2.5 hours each time, for a total of 15 times). Study data were then gathered for both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The findings presented that through the action study process, the teaching team was able to analyze the students’ weak Chinese basic decoding skill, which influenced science reading comprehension and writing motivation, and then designed a CRS program that combined the indigenous culture and science concepts to reflect and copy the teaching challenge. The indigenous students exhibited progress in science reading comprehension and attitude toward science. The teachers showed that it was important to use the indigenous culture to develop reading materials and evaluation tools, to adjust CRS from the indigenous students strengths and weaknesses of learning style, and to use regional and cultural features to analyze students attitudes toward science. Suggestions for instruction and study were also offered. |
