| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 91 === The purpose of this study is to (1) employ study materials designed by researcher about science history of Kepler’s laws to assist senior high physics teachers in knowing science history of Kepler’s laws, and (2) in enriching teachers’ cognition about Kepler. (3) Find the change of teachers’ arrangement of instruction. (4) Find the change of teachers’ attitude about using science history to instruction.
The research methods include questionnaires, and interviews. Eighteen teachers from Taipei participated in this study. The data is analyzed in describing statistics.The results of the research show：
(1) the study materials can assist teachers to know compendious science history of Kepler’s laws, and half of teachers can give examples to explain that ‘simplicity’ influence Kepler ‘s theory.
(2) After reading the study materials, teachers’ interpretation of Kepler’s sciencist image changed from Kepler is a and mechanical mathematicist working-hard to Kepler is a scientist having abundant originality and a scientist having a strong faith.
(3) After reading the study materials, teachers agreed the content of the study materials can be used in instruction. Specially, They mention the content about belif of sciencists, the course of theories’ development, and the contribution of sciencists’ theory.
(4) After reading the study materials, the amount of teachers agreed that science history can assist concept’s understanding increased.And they also agreed the study materials can bring about the motive to learning and help students to know ‘science’ if the study materials can be simplified. They also agreed that Kepler’s contribution should be teached. But teachers still feel science history is too muitifarious.
