Abstract
The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of the technology-based STEAM education on attitude toward technology of middle school students. The following hypothesis was stated for the purpose of the study. There is no significant differences of attitude toward technology of middle school students before and after applied the technology-based STEAM education in sub-elements (1) interest in the technology, (2) technology's gender role, (3) technology's importance and influence, (4) accessibility to technology, (5) technology and school curriculum, (6) technology-related career, and (7) technology and creative activity. One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design was applied to 'After-school' activities of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ middle school for this experimental research. The data were collected and interpreted statistically by paired samples t-test using SPSS(ver. 15) at the .05 level of significance. The results of the study were as follow: First, the technology-based STEAM education was effective in raising technological attitude of middle school students. Second, the technology-based STEAM education was effective in enhancing attitude of middle school students on interest in technology, technology's gender role, technology's importance and influence, technology and school curriculum, and creative activity. Third, the technology-based STEAM education was not effective in improving attitude on accessibility to technology and aspiration to technology-related occupation of middle school students.
