| 摘要: | 本計畫(GLOBE Program Taiwan)為臺灣與美國簽約之國際合作計畫，其本質為一實作型的環境科學與教育計畫。GLOBE連結了學生、老師與科研界透過學生蒐集與觀測的資料來學習我們的環境。其宗旨在於：1. 啟發學生對環境與地球系統科學的關懷及好奇心，加強學生科學素養與學習成效；2. 提供教師多元教學素材，改善其教學策略及方法；3. 建立科學學習網絡，提升國內基礎科學教育的教學環境。 GLOBE Program自1995年起，截至2019年2月，全世界共有121個國家參與，超過35,000個經過GLOBE Program訓練的老師，全世界超過33,700所GLOBE學校，已有超過1,636萬筆學生觀測資料。GLOBE Program提供了廣泛的教材來增進參與學生的學習經驗，尤其是在學生自身周遭環境中架設觀測儀器，希望藉此引發學生研討當地自然生態與全球環境議題之間的關係。而老師們指導他們的學生如何利用全球科學家所訂定的儀器觀測流程協議(protocols)來蒐集資料。一致的實驗方法與步驟，有助於確認全世界的觀測資料之準確度與穩定性。學生們負責校準儀器、蒐集與紀錄數據資料，並上傳他們的觀測資料至GLOBE Program學生觀測資料庫，學生們會使用這些資料來做當地的研究研究計畫，就如同專業的科學家帶領著地球科學研究一樣。除了上傳資料至資料庫外，學生們亦可接收他們與來自世界各地的資料，從各種不同的來源取得這些資訊並與科學家和其他GLOBE的學生共同合作來學習與研究。 在科技部與美國在台協會的協助下，臺灣於2013年9月7日與美國正式簽約，並於2013年11月12日舉辦正式啟動記者會。截至2019年2月，已有51所國小、國高中正式成為GLOBE學校。未來五年目標除了持續擴增GLOBE學校之外，將結合我國目前十二年國教自然科學領域課綱所要求的自然科學探究與實作，與GLOBE教師共同發展GLOBE探究與實作課程，於各校推廣實施，並以GLOBE為主題進行科學教育研究。並配合政府新南向政策，持續進行國際合作，特別是亞太國家，例如越南、菲律賓、斯里蘭卡、尼泊爾等國，規劃GLOBE科學教育合作與學生交流計畫。 ;The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program is a worldwide hands-on science and education program. GLOBE brings together students, teachers and scientists through the GLOBE Schools Network in support of student learning and research. GLOBE is science and education, not just science education. As a science and education program, GLOBE neither begins nor ends with data collection. Scientists collect data to gain understanding, and students can do the same. Teachers are encouraged to stimulate and reinforce their students' natural interest in their surroundings. Student interest can take form in questions that they want to answer, and taking data is part of addressing their questions. Recording, assembling, and analyzing data are a necessary part of the process leading to answers, new insights, and refined questions, and data reporting is essential for GLOBE implementation to give students an authentic science experience.The GLOBE Taiwan was signed up the agreement on 7th Sep., 2013 in Washington DC, USA. We currently have 51 GLOBE schools in Taiwan. GLOBE Taiwan Office has been cultivating trainers, teachers and students and promoting the international interaction by holding international workshops. Meanwhile, we have been following the daily observation data from each school and ensuring the quality of the data. In order to increase students' motivation, holding the science activities for GLOBE students and providing opportunities for students participating international learning expeditions are our missions.In the future, our missions will focus on increasing GLOBE schools, combing the education policies to develop and promote GLOBE inquiry and practice curriculum, doing science education researches about GLOBE, and keeping the international interaction and cooperation. |
