Abstract

由於台灣國中階段學生在浮力單元的表現普遍較不理想,因此,本研究採用由哈佛大學教授Eric Mazur提出的同儕教學法進行浮力單元的教學,同儕教學法的流程包括教師精簡講解一個重點概念之後,提出概念題,讓學生單獨思考後進行全班性的回答,接下來讓學生針對概念題進行小組討論,討論後再進行第二次的全班性回答,教師則依據學生回答正確人數比例掌控教學進度。 本研究探討對八年級學生實施Mazur同儕教學法並搭配不同回答方式,對學生在浮力單元的學習是否能夠產生成效。本研究以不等組前後測準實驗研究法進行,教學時間為五節課。研究對象為台北市兩所國中共三個班的八年級學生,人數共104位,其中有一班接受Mazur同儕教學法搭配舉牌回答方式,有一班接受Mazur同儕教學法搭配IRS系統回答方式,還有一班接受傳統講述式教學法為控制組。 研究者利用自行開發的前測概念診斷試題,針對三組受試者進行預試,了解教學進行前,三班學生在力平衡及浮力相關概念的掌握度。本研究另外依據Mazur同儕教學法設計浮力教材,實施Mazur同儕教學法之實驗組進行教學,然後進行後測的施測,並檢視兩組學生的學習成效是否有差異。另一方面本研究又藉由教學後態度問卷中所設計的開放性問題進行質性資料分析,了解實驗組學生學生對於同儕教學法的看法與接受程度。 研究結果顯示:(1)雖然實驗組與控制組在教學後測表現並沒有顯著差異,但從共變數分析之調整後的後測平均來看,舉牌組表現均略優於IRS組及控制組。(2)上課錄音資料與學生在後測試題的回答分析,發現學生經同儕討論學習的內容能夠呈現在後測,以及同儕討論能夠幫助學生在上課時更積極參與思考。(3)根據實驗組與控制組前後測表現作比較,顯示實驗組中的舉牌組學生前後測進步幅度優於IRS組以及控制組。(4)分析實驗組學生態度問卷的結果,喜歡Mazur同儕教學法人數百分比的學生超過不喜歡的學生,以及多數學生也認為同儕教學法能增加上課專注度,顯示Mazur同儕教學法對於上課氣氛以及學生的學習動機均有提升。
Due to the reason that generally Taiwanese junior high school students cannot learn the principle of buoyancy well, this research aimed to adopt the peer instruction, which is proposed by Harvard University professor Eric Mazur. The process of peer instruction includes briefly instructing a main idea by the teacher, proposing a main issue of discuss for students personally and assembly, holding group discussion among students, and proceeding the progress of instruction which depends on the amounts of students’ correct answers. This study proposes three different treatment conditions on eight grade students, in order to test how Mazur’s peer instruction affects students’ understanding of principle of buoyancy. The nonequivalent pretest-postest quasi-experimental design is used as the study method and the time of lecturing is 5 classes for each condition. The study was set up with three treatment conditions, namely, peer instruction with flashcards, peer instruction with interactive response system, and lecturing out of teacher prepared notes. Three classrooms with total of 104 students were randomly chosen from two junior high schools in Taipei city. This research pre-tests the three groups with diagnostic questionnaire designed by the researcher to understand students’ knowledge of relative concepts of force balance and buoyancy. Teaching method designed in accordance with Mazur’s peer instruction is put into practice on the treatment groups. Post-tests are held to identify the significant difference between the two treatment groups. Besides, this study uses qualitative data analysis to analyze the data of the open questions in the attitude questionnaire to investigate the opinions and the acceptance level of the peer instruction among the treatment groups. The results show that, first, although there’s no significant difference between the results of post-tests of the treatment groups and the control group, the average points of post-tests which are amended by the analysis of covariance show that the performance of the group of peer instruction with flashcards is slightly better than that of peer instruction with interactive response system. Second, by analyzing the data of post-tests and the recording of students’ interaction at class, the study shows that the groups of peer instruction can performance better and involve in thinking more. Third, by comparing the post-tests results of the three groups, it proves that the group of peer instruction with flashcards progresses more. Forth, by analyzing attitude the questionnaire, the result suggests that the percentage of students who like Mazur’s peer instruction is more than that of students who dislike it. Since most students agree that the peer instruction can make them focus on the class more, it is reasonable to say that Mazur’s peer instruction can promote a positive atmosphere as well as students’ motivation.
