臺灣光復十六年以來教育事業不斷拓展，尤其科學教育應國際之潮流、時代之變遷及國家社會之需求，無論在科學課程、教育、教學媒體、資優輔導及國際競賽等方面隨時改進，獲得豐碩的成果為國家經濟建設供應無數的人才，創造所謂的臺灣奇蹟，經濟建設所帶給的財富又回饋於教育事業的持續性擴展，使兩者邁進理想的大道。本文由各屆中小學科學課程的改進過程開始，探討我國科學教育的回顧並提其展望。
課程是不斷地發展與原長的，我國中小學教育的科學課程，由部訂的課程標準開始，通過實驗研究結果歐產生的課程標準，進入只訂課程綱要以迎頭趕上世界潮流。突破學制及大學入學者試，使數理資優生以躍級報考及甄試保送升學，使其能夠早日回饋社會。數理資優生在國際科學奧林匹亞競賽之輝煌表現，使我國的科學教育受到各國的肯定。最後提出我國科學教育加強努力的方向。

There were tow remarkable achievements of Taiwan in the past sixty years. One was the miraculous economic accomplishments, the other was the progress of education. The development of education, especially in science education resulted in adequate manpower supply for economic construction. On the other hand, economic construction brought wealth to support continuous expansion of education.
Science curriculums of primary and secondary school were emphasized in the development of scientific concepts, science process and science attitudes. Science education is stressed in both primary and secondary schools partly for the purpose of training top scientists literacy for all of our people, encouraging each modern citizen to acquire an accurate conceptual hierarchy in science and enabling him to possess proper scientific attitudes toward his daily difficulties as well as science process skills to solve his problems.
