• 中文摘要： 整合科技史於科學教育已成為一重要的國際科學教育趨勢，並擴及小學階段的科學教育。然而，臺灣小學自然科教科書中的科技史材料幾乎為零，反而兒童課外讀物中有較多的科技史材料，兒童在課外讀物中有更多機會接觸到科技史材料。本研究搜集並分析現行臺灣兒童科學讀物六十七冊，從故事版面與基本內容呈現方式、科學方法、科學家的幼年、科學家的人格特質、工作態度與動機、外在社會與文化對科學的影響、性別差異、地域分佈與種族意識、中國科技史材料的呈現，探討兒童讀物中的科技史材料之呈現。期望未來能對兒童讀物中科技史材料問題進行更深入的研究，促進國內兒童讀物在科普方面的發展，達成全民科學素養的科學教育目標。
• 英文摘要： The integration of the history of science and technology is playing a significant role in science education reform from secondary level through elementary level. However, currently, there is almost no historical material included in elementary level science textbooks in Taiwan. Interestingly, children in Taiwan have more chances to experience materials on the history of science and technology in children books than in textbooks. Children's books become not only children's entry into science, but also the main resources for children to learn the history of science and technology. This study sampled sixty-seven children books that have materials relating to the history of science and technology and are currently circulated in Taiwan. The study investigated how the books present the historical materials from different aspects including the format of content, scientific process, the childhood of scientists, scientists' personalities and work attitudes, social and cultural influences on science, scientists' motivation, gender awareness, and Chinese history of science and technology. The study is expected to draw more attention to the research on how historical materials inherent in children's books exert influences on children's understanding of the nature of science as well as science learning.
