| Popis: | 93 The purpose of this research was to use Systemic Functional Linguistics as analyzing tools for analysis of students’ scientific writing work after their viewing the video, “Temperature and Heat” (about 3 min in length), so that we may understand the correlation between the performance of students’ scientific writing work and their study achievement. Furthermore, the results of the study can also be used as references for science teachers in scientific teaching activities. Thirty five students from the 3rd grade of a Taipei municipal junior high school participated in this study. Devices including “Temperature and Heat” (video clip) and work sheets of scientific writing were designed and administered. Statistics including descriptive and Pearson’s product-moment correlation were conducted to analyze the quantity and quality of students’ scientific writing and the correlation between them and their learning achievement of Chinese and science. The study results are shown as follows: 1. The higher achievement of science and Chinese that a student has, the better performance will be on the quantity of words, content terms, small sentences, general terms, scientific terms and material process terms. 2. The students with higher achievement of science and Chinese will have better performance on the quantity of scientific explanation sentences. 3. The correlation of the highest degree of small sentences is noticeable on achievement of either science study or Chinese study. Students with higher achievement will use more small sentences to describe or explain the observations while doing scientific writing. 4. The higher achievement of science and Chinese that a student has, the better performance will be on correct scientific explanation sentences while doing scientific writing. 5. While the students are doing the second scientific writing, in addition to the difficulty of sentences, each dimension has a positive correlation with the study achievement of science and Chinese. This indicates that students with better study achievement of science or Chinese will also have better performance on explanation of phenomena. |
