高中電腦課程實施現況調查

Abstract

本研究的主要目的為瞭解高中電腦課程的實施現況，以提供未來課程修訂及實施的參考。研究以email方式邀請全國283所高中的381位電腦教師上網填寫問卷，總計有163位上網填寫，填答率為42.8﹪。調查結果發現，電腦授課教師以男性佔大多數（72﹪），近九成為登記合格的電腦教師，具有碩士學位（或相等資歷）、畢業自資訊相關科系約佔六成。課程實施方面發現，約80﹪的學校授課時數在72小時（課程標準建議）以上，39﹪學校開設有進階電腦課程。教師講授時數最多的單元是電腦應用及程式語言，較少的為演算法與資料結構。大部分教師（72﹪）使用Visual Basic於程式語言教學，但也有少部分的教師採用C/C++、Java/JavaScript、ASP/PHP等。大部分教師遭遇的問題以「課程時數不足」、「合法軟體不足」及「教師進修或研習的機會太少」較為嚴重。The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of computer course in senior high schools. We conducted a web survey on 381 computer teachers of 283 high schools for investigating how computer courses are currently implemented. A total of 163 (42.8%) teachers responded to our survey. The result of this survey indicated that high school computer teachers are mostly male (72%), 65% of teachers have a college degree in a computer-related area; 60% have a master’s or higher degree; 87% are certified computer teachers. As to the implementation of the course, most of high schools (80%) offer their students 72 or more hours of computer classes and 39% of schools provide advanced computer courses. Most teachers spend a majority of class hours in teaching application software and fundamental programming, but less time in algorithms and data structures. Visual Basic has been chosen by most teachers (72%) for programming instruction. Among the factors that are considered by most teachers as hindrance to a more successful implementation of computer courses in high school are: insufficient instructional hours, lack of fund for purchasing software and inadequate teacher development programs.
