行動科技課程的開發、實施與活動歷程分析－以個案研究為例

Abstract

本研究目的在於探討高中教師如何參與、開發與實施融入行動科技的自然科學探究課程。第一部分討論課程發展與實施所遭遇之困境與解決，並從師生觀點探討其對行動學習之看法；第二部分以一行動科技課程為例，說明課程開發之歷程，並從學生學習過程中，以活動理論討論智慧行動裝置與探究學習活動的關聯性，此外進行問卷調查以了解學生探究能力、對雲端科技能力表現之自我認同。 本研究以台灣北部一所公立高中的七位高中教師、一位初中教師及十二名高一學生、七十一名高二學生為研究對象，採取以質性為主的個案研究方法。

本研究的第一部分發現，行動學習大幅改變師生對於行動科技之看法，多數師生認為行動學習有助於提升學習專注、增加學習興趣、提高學習成效。第二部分詳述個案教師開發行動科技融入科學課程之歷程，提供可行的課程開發範本，並以活動理論對學習小組的探究行為與科技互動作更進一步的分析與討論。此外也發現此課程對學生探究能力中的先前知識與經驗之連結、資料蒐集與分析、及科學推理與論證有大幅度的成長；以及雲端科技的使用有助於同儕之間的溝通與合作，並使學生更願意參與課程。結果肯定課程開發教師所開發之新興課程及其價值，可提供同類課程開發之具體參考。 The purpose of this study was to investigate how high school teachers participate, develop and implement inquire-based curriculum infused with mobile technology. The first part of the current research is a discussion on the difficulties and solutions that emerged in curriculum development and its implementation. The views of teachers and students on mobile learning were also explored. The second part of the study explained curriculum development through the example of mobile technology curriculum and through students’ learning, discussed the relationship between smart mobile devices and inquiry-based learning activities based on activity theory. In addition, students’ abilities in inquiry and cloud technology were also investigated through questionnaire.The current study is a qualitative research. Participants included eight high school teachers, 12 students from Grades 10, and 71 students from Grades 11.

The first part of the study found that mobile learning dramatically changed teachers’ and students’ perceptions of mobile technology. The majorities of the teachers as well as students also believed that mobile learning helped in retaining students’ attention during learning, increasing student interest, and improving learning achievement.The second part of the study was a case study that described the process through which a teacher developed a mobile technology infused science curriculum. The case can serve as a reference for curriculum development, and further discussions were conducted on students' inquiry-based learning activities and their interaction with mobile technology in accordance to activity theory.The results also showed that this curriculum has greatly enhanced students’ abilities in linking ones’ prior knowledge and experiences, conducting data collection and analysis, and making scientific arguments.Moreover, it was shown that the use of cloud technology helped communication and cooperation among peers and enabled students to be more willing to participate in the course.In sum, the current study has affirmed the value of teacher developed mobile technology curriculum and believes that this can serve as an examplefor future curricula.
