Abstract

This study presents a portion of the results for the four-year Taiwan National Science Council Project, Development and Assessment of Science Courses Integrating Indigenous Culture and Collaborative Problem Solving(CPS). The research team has already conducted three years of teaching experiments at Atayal Rainbow Elementary School in Nan'ao Atayal tribes. Results demonstrate trained Atayal students displayed significantly better spatial concepts and abilities than untrained Atayal tribal students after taking the courses in this project.
