Abstract
When we searched the internet and surveyed STS funding data in Taiwan, we found that there are two different academic groups paying attention to STS. One is from science education and the other is from science studies. Do these two groups use the same meaning for STS or not? From a historical perspective, are there any intersections that exist between them? Based on a deep and careful literature analysis and interviews with key people, this article explores the relationship between these two STS groups. Furthermore, we plan to rebuild a new developmental diagram depicting STS researchers in Taiwan. With this approach a new trend was developed for international science education researchers. It is hoped that this article will provide a good base from which these two groups of researchers may better communicate with each other for the benefit of the science education community.
