From the beginning of human civilization education has been an important issue. Especially stepping into to the new era of globalization, the effect of education toward the competitiveness of a nation or the quality of citizens, whether big or small, cannot be considered like in the past. Internet is growing in leaps and bounds. Like Google, YouTube or Wikipedia, their growth as representing the expanding of human knowledge can only be compared by the expansion of our universe. Therefore the education in 21st century does not only teach knowledge but also teach students how to possess the ability to learn knowledge. This ability starts from cognition to acquirement of knowledge and further to learning beyond boundaries. With this ability perhaps, during the new era of knowledge explosion, our next generation will survive, compete or even succeed. Utilizing the concept and successful experimental results of metacognition since 1970s we will explore the real situations of chemistry and physics teachers teaching the 「Natural Science and life technology Domain」of 「Grade 1-9 Curriculum」in junior high schools. It is expected that from the analyzed results of this research, whether metacognition can be emphasized and play a more important role in the arena of Taiwan’s education. Evidently any slight increase of competitiveness in future world is a win-or-lose situation of Education in Taiwan.
