• 中文摘要： 1951年至1965年期間美國對台援助稱為美援，但是1959年美援才開始投入中等學校科學教育計畫。本研究針對整個美援台灣中等科學教育計畫的形成過程與實施歷程相關事件進行整理分析。資料蒐集以美援時期國內的新聞報紙為起點，組織年表初稿，確定事件之時間、地點、人名與機構名稱等基本元素，並查詢中英文相關期刊、中美公私立機構出版物與公文檔案，同時反覆進行面談與筆談，獲得訊息與相關照片，據以修正年表。本文以美援台灣中等科學教育計畫形成階段年表與美援中等科學教育計畫之推動過程階段年表，兩階段呈現相關事件的關連脈絡。年表雖以時間為順序，然而其內涵係以史料研究所得論點為基礎，呈現發展脈絡。本研究結果顯示，以經濟與戰略為考量的美援之所以投入台灣中等科學教育，應是基於當時國內學者與國外學者充分運用已存在的政治氛圍，將學術期望隱含在蔣介石以科學加強國防與反攻大陸的目標下，最後在美援重點轉為科學與國防科技推廣佈局的同時，透過1959年2月正式通過的「國家長期發展科學計畫綱領」，將台灣中等科學教育改革納入美援科學教育計畫。期望本年表一方面有助於台灣科學教育歷史資料之統整，另一方面期望能提供年表作為歷史文獻供其他台灣科學教育史研究者參考。
• 英文摘要： U.S. Aid to Taiwan began in 1951 and terminated in 1965. It provided more than $1.5 billion in nonmilitary assistance. Aid for educational programs, including assistance to primary, secondary, higher, professional, vocational, science, and overseas Chinese education, plus educational admi-nistration development, amounted to more than $40 million (Jacoby, 1966). The science education project under the U.S. Aid began in Taiwan in 1959. The author constructs a chronology by organizing the events according to the sequence of initiation and implementation. The sequence includes two phases. The first reveals that the starting point of secondary science education in Taiwan was formed in the1950s based on the complicated confrontation between different facets, the US science edu-cation system, the local education system in Taiwan, the overemphasis on entrance examination, the school cultural settings, the political and economic environment, the social values, and the un-derstanding of the nature of science held by different groups. The other reveals the implementation of the project. During 1970s, more than ten years following the termination of the U.S. Aid to Taiwan, a clear legacy of the U.S. in secondary science education was still evident. It is urgent to identify the core values and mission of secondary science education for the society of Taiwan. The author expects the chronology to help interpret the initiation and implementation of the secondary science education project under U.S. Aid to Taiwan. Also, it could provide other researchers' with more materials about the history of science education in Taiwan.
