Abstract
本研究藉由園藝課程的規劃與執行,嘗試對改善特殊教育學校高職部學生行為問題的成效。本研究採行動研究法,對象為某縣特殊教育學校高職部二年級5名學生,實施10週,每週2節課,共10個單元的園藝課程,課堂上採取錄影的方式、教學省思日誌、訪談相關教師等方式來蒐集資料。
研究結果顯示,在行動初期發現以味覺體驗能有效引起學生的學習動機,及運用多媒體的教材讓學生專注;在行動中期適時的調整教具使其操作更簡便,及讓學生對課程有所期待保持著好奇心;最後在行動後期運用多感官刺激、工作分析的方法,適時依學生的學習動機調整教材教法後,確實能提升學生的學習成效,並降低行為問題發生的次數。
從上述可知,適合學生能力現況的園藝課程設計順序安排宜要先了解學生本身學習的上的優勢、多感官刺激園藝活動來提升學習成效、以植物為媒介能舒緩情緒營造安全感的氛圍、運用多媒體的方式呈現教材
,讓學生在課堂上行為問題確實有明顯的改善,學習成效也增加許多。5位學生的導師也給予研究者正向的回饋。
未來研究建議事先了解學生感官學習之優勢,使學生學習更有成效
,融入生命教育課程,讓學生能從照顧植物過程中,瞭解生命的可貴。
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the horticulture curriculum in reducing vocational high school students’ behavior problems in the classroom. Participants of this study were five vocational high school students from the special school. The curriculum was implemented twice a week over a 10 week period. The data analyses included tape recordings during classes, reflection of teaching records, and the interviews of teachers involved. In the beginning phase of this action research study, results showed that the sense of smell experiment could effectively trigger the students’ motivation, and the multimedia teaching aids made students pay more attention in the classroom. In the middle phase, we discovered that the multimedia teaching aids should be adjusted promptly to make it easier to operate, and the students’ curiosity toward the curriculum should be continuously maintained. In the last phase of the study, by using multi-senses stimulus, working analysis method, and by timely adjusting teaching materials, we could effectively improve the students’ learning and decrease the occurrence of students’ negative behaviors. In conclusion, teachers should first identify students’ strengths and arrange the order of the horticulture curriculum based on students’ abilities. Secondly, using multi-senses horticultural activities can increase learning efficiency. Thirdly, plants can be used as a medium to soothe students’ emotions and create a sense of safety for the students. Lastly, using multimedia to present teaching material could not only significantly reduce the students’ behavioral problems in the classroom but also improve their learning effectiveness. Both student participants and the teachers gave positive feedback to the curriculum. For future studies, student’s strength of senses should be identified first to make learning more effective. Also, researchers could try to incorporate this horticulture curriculum into the life science educational curriculum. Through the caring for plants, the students can learn the value of life.
