- 中文摘要： 面對科技時代的瞬息萬變及複雜多元，科學新聞幾乎是一般學生持續接觸科學及參與社會性科學議題的重要管道。而學生如何感知科學新聞報導的內容，更直接影響到他們對於事件的詮釋及後續採取的行動。鑑此，本文所欲探索的問題包括：(一)學生對於科學新聞中之科技產物的意象為何？(二)學生如何從感知（perceive）的意象推理科學家或科技產物的目的？(三)學生對於科技產物意象之感知型態的特質為何？研究結果發現，學生在對於科學新聞報導中的科技產物進行理解時，不論在對於該科技產物的意象，或是科學家目的的評估等，均容易因為感知類型的不同，而造成對於科學新聞報導主旨認識上的偏差。造成這些偏差的原因，一方面可能肇因於閱聽者自己先備知識的限制；另一方面則是國內科學新聞產製環境的缺陷。對於廣義的科學教育工作而言，這些因素均具有重要的意義。
- 英文摘要：
In this information based society, science news has become the most important channel through which students can access new scientific developments. With this essential knowledge they can confidently discuss socio-scientific issues. What the students perceive about technology while reading science news could influence their attitude towards science and could dictate the actions they will take in the future.
As previously discussed, this study planned to explore three questions: 1. What is the student’s conception of technology while reading science news reports? 2. How do students perceive the aims of scientists or of science? 3. What are the features of students’ perceptual patterns toward technology? The results of the survey show that students have many incorrect images when they read technological news reports. It is also clear that these images not only affect students’ understandings of the science reported, but also generates false perceptions about the aims of scientists. Two factors seem to cause these problems: the limitations of students' prior knowledge and the innate shortcomings of science news reporting in Taiwan. - 中文關鍵字： 科學新聞、社會性科學議題、先備知識、科學教育
