摘要

进化论是生物学的基础,但高中的进化论教学却往往不能令人满意。高中生物教师如何或是否教授进化论,受到他们自身对进化论的接受或拒绝、家长和社区成员的观点,以及一些私立学校的宗教信仰的影响。已有研究记录了公立高中如何教授进化论,但对私立学校的研究仍然不足。我们邀请阿肯色州公立学校和私立学校的高中生物教师填写了一份调查问卷,问卷由 "进化论接受度测量"(MATE)和其他项目组成,旨在比较他们对进化论主题的处理方式。具体而言,我们试图比较公立和私立学校教师对进化论的接受程度、他们在课堂上教授进化论的方式,以及他们对进化论的有效性的接受程度与其他四种广为接受的科学理论(细胞理论、基因理论、胚芽理论和原子理论)的比较。结果表明,公立学校教师对进化论的接受程度高于私立学校教师。然而,与其他四种科学理论相比,公立学校和私立学校教师对进化论有效性的接受程度都较低。在进化论的各个主题中,自然选择受到的关注最多,而人类进化受到的关注最少。

Public vs. Private
Evolutionary theory is fundamental to biology, yet evolution instruction in high schools has often been unsatisfactory. How or whether high school biology teachers teach evolution is influenced by their own acceptance or rejection of evolutionary theory, parents’ and community members’ views, and in the case of some private schools, their religious affiliations. Studies documenting how evolution is taught in public high schools have been conducted, yet private schools remain underresearched. Arkansas high school biology teachers employed by public and private schools were invited to complete a survey composed of the Measure of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) and other items designed to allow comparison of their treatment of topics within evolutionary theory. Specifically, we sought to compare public and private teachers’ acceptance of evolution, how they teach it in their classrooms, and how their acceptance of the validity of evolution compares with four other widely accepted scientific theories (cell, gene, germ, and atomic). Results suggest that public school teachers have higher levels of acceptance of evolution than private school teachers. However, teachers in both public and private schools reported lower acceptance of the validity of evolutionary theory compared with the other four scientific theories. Across topics within evolution, natural selection was given the most treatment while human evolution was given the least.
