運用Blooket於國中英文課堂上之單字學習成效

Abstract

本研究旨在探討結合Blooket遊戲平台於國中英文課堂中，對學生英語單字學習成效與學習動機的影響。研究對象為一所偏鄉國中兩個班級共15名九年級學生，採用單組前測、後測與延宕後測之研究設計。研究歷時六週，教學中每週安排使用Blooket進行單字複習遊戲，評估其對學生認知性單字知識的影響，並透過學習動機問卷、學習歷程訪談及開放式問卷收集質性資料。研究結果顯示，學生在Blooket介入教學後的單字測驗成績顯著提升，且延宕後測中亦保有成效，顯示Blooket能有效增進學生的單字記憶與接受性詞彙知識。雖然問卷結果未顯示學習動機有顯著差異，質性資料卻顯示多數學生認為Blooket遊戲化的學習方式有助於提升學習動機與參與度。學生普遍對Blooket抱持正面態度，認為其操作簡便、趣味性高且有助於單字記憶，但也指出如遊戲重複性高、操作介面不易理解及眼睛疲勞等問題。本研究結果顯示，Blooket可作為有效促進偏鄉學生英語單字學習的教學工具，尤其有助於提高學習參與度與教室互動氛圍。建議未來研究可擴大樣本數並探討其對應用性詞彙學習的影響。This study investigates the impact of incorporating Blooket, a gamified learning platform, on junior high school students’ English vocabulary acquisition and learning motivation. Fifteen ninth-grade EFL students from a remote area in Taiwan participated in a six-week intervention using Blooket during regular English classes. A one-group pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest design was employed, along with surveys and interviews.Findings showed significant improvement in students’ receptive vocabulary knowledge, with gains sustained in the delayed posttest. While quantitative data revealed no significant change in motivation, qualitative responses indicated increased engagement and enjoyment due to the platform’s game-based features. Students found Blooket user-friendly and effective for reinforcing vocabulary through repetition, though some noted issues with repetition, interface clarity, and screen fatigue.Overall, Blooket proved to be a useful tool for enhancing vocabulary learning and classroom interaction, particularly in under-resourced educational settings. Future research should explore its effects on productive vocabulary learning and broader student populations.
