Understand The Science-related Moral Education In The Perspective Of Students Majoring In Science, Technology And Engineering

Understand the Science-related Moral Education in the Perspective of Students mainly explores some aspects of science-related moral education such as what the science-related morality is, who can be called an educated person in terms of science-related morality, what science-related moral education the students have received and what the ideal science-related moral education they want. All of the questions are understood in the perspective of four students interviewed who major in science, technology and engineering, different from the way the previous research was carried out in the perspective of researchers and teachers, regardless of the students' voice. The thesis is made up of four chapters. The first chapter discusses why I do some research on the topic, why I take on qualitative methods and introduces how I carry out the whole research. Some attention is paid to reliability, validity and morality. The second chapter studies what the science-related morality is on the basis of interviewing four students. After analyzing what the science-related morality is or not, it makes a conclusion that science-related morality is composed of internal and external morality. The third chapter inquires about who can be called an educated person in terms of science-related morality. Interviewing the four students and analyzing what they share, it explores the question theoretically and concludes that an educated person in terms of science-related morality should have some common qualities. As for whether the science-related moral education they have received can foster an educated person, it depends on the individuals themselves. The fourth chapter focuses on the interviewing the four students in depth and then tries to induce what characteristics they have in common. Based on the previous efforts, it makes clear that the ideal science-related moral education should pay attention to the students' needs and how the ideal science-related moral education should be performed. Combining in-depth interview with theoretical exploration is the characteristic of the thesis. Listening to the students' own voices is the soul of the whole research.
