    Are you SLiM? – Developing an instrument for civic scientific literacy measurement (SLiM) based on media coverage
    (SAGE Publications, 2012-08-01) Rundgren, C. J.; Chang Rundgren, S. N.; Tseng, Y. H.; Lin Pei-Ling; Chang, C. Y.
    The purpose of this study is to develop an instrument to assess civic scientific literacy measurement (SLiM), based on media coverage. A total of 50 multiple-choice items were developed based on the most common scientific terms appearing in media within Taiwan. These questions covered the subjects of biology (45.26%, 22 items), earth science (37.90%, 19 items), physics (11.58%, 6 items) and chemistry (5.26%, 3 items). A total of 1034 students from three distinct groups (7th graders, 10th graders, and undergraduates) were invited to participate in this study. The reliability of this instrument was 0.86 (KR 20). The average difficulty of the SLiM ranged from 0.19 to 0.91, and the discrimination power was 0.1 to 0.59. According to participants’ performances on SLiM, it was revealed that 10th graders (Mean = 37.34±0.23) performed better than both undergraduates (Mean = 33.00±0.33) and 7th graders (Mean = 26.73±0.45) with significant differences in their SLiM.

    媒體中大眾科學素養問卷之研發與初探
    (2010) 林蓓伶; Lin Pei-Ling
    　　本研究試圖結合專家(中學課程)及大眾媒體觀點(科學新聞)，由一嶄新的面向去定義與評測大眾科學素養。根據九年一貫自然與生活科技教科書末索引的重要科學名詞，利用電腦自動搜尋與詞彙抽取技術，來比對新聞中出現頻率較高之科學詞彙，最後共篩選出95個科學主要詞彙及伴隨詞彙，輔以科學新聞所關注之內容研發量表50題試題，涵蓋含生物領域(45.26%，22題)、地球科學領域（37.9%，19題）、物理領域(11.58%，6題)、化學領域(5.26%，3題)。本研究共有來自國中、高中及大學計1034位學生參與。研究結果顯示：(1) 在台灣的媒體及教科書當中,生物相關的科學詞彙出現率最高,接著依序是地球科學、物理、化學相關領域之詞彙。(2)在此大眾科學素養量表（SLiM）的表現上，男生(M=33.93, SD=7.48)較女生好(M=31.69, SD=7.41) (t=4.24, p=0.000<0.05)。(3)高中生(Mean=37.4, SD=4.1)的SLiM表現顯著好於大學生(Mean = 32.8,SD=5.5)及國中生(Mean = 27.2  8.4)。(4)低媒體使用量之受試者(Mean = 30.8, SD= 6.42)的SLiM表現皆顯著低於中媒體使用量(Mean = 33.2, SD=7.3)及高媒體使用量(Mean = 34.1, SD=8.19)的受試者，但在中媒體使用量及高媒體使用量間沒有顯著差異。(5) 有科學偏好的受試者(M=34.47,SD=7.11)相較於沒有科學偏好的受試者(M=31.83, SD=7.57)在SLiM的表現上明顯較好(t=4.7, p=0.000<0.05)。
