生之理》三談「公民科學素養」
「科學」這個名詞及其內容都是舶來品。現代科學發軔於十六世紀文藝復興時期,至今也不過四百多年歷史。雖說自明代起,就有西方傳教士將科學新知傳入中國,但在清末廢除科舉、開辦新學以前,學子讀的都是四書五經,寫的則是八股的論文,對科學自是一竅不通。
誠然,不懂幾何、代數、微積分等數學,自不代表國人不懂算學;不懂物理工程之學,也不代表中國沒有傲人的建築與工藝產品;不懂解剖生理,中醫一樣給人看 病;不懂生物遺傳原理,農牧業者也能夠育種。問題是,技術不等同科學;科學是客觀的系統之學,不但能解釋既有事實與現象,經得起反覆驗證,還可進一步做出 可靠之推論。如果只有技術但不懂原理,就好比只會修車而不會造車,難以突破創新是必然的結果。
華人社會對知識一向尊重,要求學子專心向學,並非難事。再加上升學主義的推波助瀾,國內學子一般的數理化知識,向來不差。根據2006年經濟合作發展組織 (OECD)的國際學生評量方案(PISA),對五十七個國家地區十五歲學生所做的評量,台灣學子的科學素養排名第四,在芬蘭、香港及加拿大之後,表現相 當優異。
PISA對科學素養的要求,不只是名詞解釋等記誦之學,還要求能活用科學知識,包括發現問題以及從證據中取得結論,從而能夠了解大自然以及由人類活動所引 起的改變,並做出決定。因此,PISA的考題都先有一篇兩三百字的短文,有的還附圖,然後才是一系列簡答題或是非題,共有一○八題之多。這個考試與美國國 家基金會用來評估成年人科學素養的是非題相比,難度高多了;美國學子的PISA成績位於正中,不算出色。
PISA的考試方式並非創新,但可看出科學素養講究的不是你記得多少科學知識,而是活用這份知識的能力。美國密西根州立大學的米勒教授提過另一個評估公民 科學素養的簡單方法,就是:「能夠閱讀《紐約時報》每周二出刊的科學版,那可是世界一流的科學寫作。」我想這才是重點所在。
絕大多數人在出校門後,不會吃科學這行飯,但生活裡卻不可能不與科學沾點邊,尤其是許多切身的議題,像能源危機、地球暖化、幹細胞研究、基因篩檢、藥物殘 留等,都與科學有關;能夠理解報章雜誌的科學報導,並做出判斷,自然是現代公民應有的本事。現行公民科學素養測驗或許失之過簡,但今日學子是明日棟梁,從 國內學子在PISA測驗的表現來看,國內科學教育大抵不差,這是科教工作者值得欣慰,並應繼續努力的目標。
