“…The Taiwanese government has shared this concern and implemented favorable policies regarding investment in science and technology in capital-intensive and technology-intensive industries for past decades (Gold 1986, Kumagai 1998. These substantial investments have boosted the demand for a workforce able to work in fields of science and technology (Johstone 1993, Wei 1997, Yang and Tarng 1997. This emphasis on science is also seen in the schooling and examination system.…”

A shortage of qualified science teachers has been recognized as a serious problem in the field of education in many countries. Taiwan, however, has successfully recruited graduate-level science students into teaching through newly established teacher education programs at universities in recent years. This study seeks to examine why such students are motivated for entry into teaching. In-depth interviews of 33 graduate science students from one teacher education program and a survey of 101 students from nine teacher education programs at universities in Taiwan were conducted. Results show that these students were attracted to teaching by an early exposure to science teaching in informal settings and their perceptions of handsome material rewards, favorable working conditions, and relatively high social status of teaching. The cultural roots of these factors are discussed; implications and limitations of the results are suggested.

Using data from a 13-year period panel, this study analyzes the interaction of Taiwan's technology investment and industrial development, through the training and extraction of a multi-layered, feed-forward neural network. The simulation experiments provide a reference behavior pattern for China, while accounting for its culture-specific context. Also analyzed are the potential effects of technology investment on the GDP and employment rates of China's primary and tertiary industries. The simulation results show that the basic-research budget percentage could positively affect China's tertiary industry, yet increasing both the basic-research budget percentage and the research and development (R&D) personnel could decidedly increase the GDP rate of China's primary industry. Following the study's limitations, explored are its potential implications for policymaking and future research.
