理科の活用志向性尺度の作成と信頼性・妥当性の検討―スーパーサイエンスハイスクール指定校の取り組みの評価を見据えて―

抄録

In science education, it is important to make students realize the usefulness of science, and Super Science High Schools (SSH) are supposed to foster the attitude of students to utilize scientific knowledge and perspective proactively. It is therefore necessary to evaluate whether the efforts of SSH schools successfully foster expected attitudes. This study aimed to develop a science utilization orientation scale to assess the efforts of SSH schools. The results showed a factor structure as assumption with sufficiently high factor loadings. There were no DIF, ceiling effect, and floor effects, that would impair the validity of the scale, that we found in the results. The difference in the mean value between each group was consistent with the theoretical hypothesis. In conclusion, this scale is considered to be able to measure the science utilization orientation of SSH students and evaluate the efforts of SSH schools.
