| Popis: | 95 The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of carefully designed activities “water and air” on the attitude, aptitude as well as the misconception toward the subject of science among pre-school students. The samples were 49 students enrolled in a public pre-school in Taipei, Taiwan. The duration of the study was six weeks and six teaching activities were conducted during this period. Science Concept Test of Children and Science Attitude Questionnaire of Children were performed before and after teaching activities. We interviewed the students after the activities to gain understandings on how each individual’s concept on science may have evolved. Analyses methods used include percentiles of the questionnaire results, the t-test, and the before/after interviews. The result of this research shows: （1）Living science activities of water and air for pre-school students help the built-up of science concepts significantly. （2）After the teaching activities, the scores of Science Attitude Questionnaire of Children demonstrate distinctive improvement. Only two questions did not yield statistical significances (but improvements were shown). （3）The interviews revealed that some pre-school students are capable of building correct scientific concepts after the activities. However, in some cases other misconceptions, such as the misconception of color, emerged after the activities. |
