The purpose of the present study is to employ the“Problem-based Learning”in the teaching of basic science course in junior high school to explore the effect of assisting the junior-high students in establishing the correct physics concepts。
“Problem-based Learning”considers the students as the main role during the knowledge-learning process, the teacher plays as a tutor to help the students to find the problems , collect information ,study the issues , and solve the problems .
We also apply “Attitudes Toward Physics Scale”and “Two-tier system diagnosing tool”to investigate the students how to establish their correct physics concepts , and whether they change the learning attitudes toward the basic science course? Our result shows :
1. The learning attitudes of the students toward the basic science course is changed, however, the effect is not prominent .
2. The students in establishing the physics concepts is not in integrated way, instead, they even still have misconceptuals .
3. It is possible to employ the improved “Two-tier system diagnosing tool”to diagnose the misconceptions of the students .
4. The result is not obviously to indicate that the PBL is able to assist the students to establish the fundamental concepts.
From the conclusion of our study, the following suggestions can be addressed:
1. The effect of PBL can be more prominent in teaching the junior-high basic science course if it can be peoceed in a longer period .
2. PBL is better to apply to ill-structured problems learning .
3. The PBL is helpful to promote the student ability in problem solving.
