[[alternative]]The research of incorporating STS into chemical education for mathematics and science

[[abstract]]This research on incorporation STS in chemical education is studied. The curriculum design for chemistry thesis in senior high school was based on three STS (Science-Technology-Society) modules -“aqueous solution?, “pigments? and “surfactants?. Students are chosen from mathematics and science talented students in 10th grade of a senior high school in Taipei. These STS modules lead students to do research on chemistry and incorporate chemistry learning in real life. Based on collaborative work, students developed better understanding of conceptual domain-specific knowledge and master the skills of experimental and scientific process . These learning experiences allow students to build up their abilities on independent research. The portfolio assessment is developed to investigate the performances of students on research in chemistry. Students will understand that it is their responsibility to learn and play a more active role in a well-designed curriculum and assessment. In addition, the curriculum designed for thesis in chemistry is based on STS modules and can be used to assist the promotion on teaching effect for mathematics and science talented students at senior high school.
