• 中文摘要： This study explored the effect of teaching college chemistry with the history of science on student attitudes toward science. Sixty-one non-chemistry major freshmen in two classes participated in this study. Using a quasi-experimental design, the experimental group of students were taught three historical cases of chemistry in one school year. At the end of the school year, the action research reaped fruitful outcomes. The quantitative data with Analysis of Covariance, using post-treatment attitude score as the dependent variable and pre-treatment attitude score as the covariate, reveals that the experimental group (taught the history of chemistry) outperformed its counterpart in their attitudes toward science. Qualitative interview data provide additional evidence of this teaching strategy's effect.
