利用資訊管理系統開發科學新聞教學資源平台之研究

Abstract

媒體中的科學新聞能真實反應一般大眾對於當代科學的認識，若能將良好製作的科學新聞融入教學，可以幫助學生將教科書中之科學與生活連結，進而提昇科學素養。本研究旨在以156集「科學不一樣」科學新聞為內容，利用資訊管理系統開發科學新聞教學平台，幫助教師快速找到所需之多媒體新聞教材以提升教學品質和效率。 本研究使用分析、設計、發展、實施與評估（ADDIE）步驟進行開發，採質性取向，以半結構式問卷訪問五位中等學校理科教師。研究初步分析發現教師在使用經驗上，經常無法整合科學新聞，需要花費心力搜尋與編修，因此對於本平台有極大的需求。是故，本研究依照教師的意見進行開發科學新聞教學資源平台。本網站共分為首頁、科學不一樣、教學資源、搜尋引擎，四大部份。本研究發展後期，針對網站內容請教師給予評鑑及回饋。教師整體認為本網站架構清楚使用簡單，符合教師需求及期許，未來持續累積更多教學資源的內容，將對於現職老師將科學新聞融入教學之中有實質的幫助。The broadcasting science news could authentically reflect a certain area of public’s understanding toward science. Therefore, an integration of well-developed science news into instruction could improve learners’ scientific literacy. The main purpose of the current project is to develop a science news instructional resource website (named Web for Teachable Moments with Science News, TMSN Web), and built with 156 episodes of Science News series program. This current website shall provide an efficient way for instructors to access well-developed science news resource, obtain suggestions for instructional design, exchange ideas for teaching, and ultimately enhance their teaching quality. Researcher utilizes a well-known procedure of instructional design called ADDIE (e.g., analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) to construct the website. In addition, while interviewing five middle school science teachers via semi-structured questionnaire, formative results of qualitative analysis were serving as the web construction suggestions throughout the entire process. The preliminary result from the interviews suggested that science teachers were in need of this kind of instructional resource as they had difficult times in finding appropriate science news resource for their teaching. It often demands much time and efforts to search good quality of science news and to customize it for authentic teaching. Based on these findings, TMSN Web is developed. TMSN includes “Main Page”, “Science News/Different Science”, “Teaching Resources” and “Search Engine”. The evaluation and feedback of TMSN was also collected from those science teachers at the final stage. They reflected that the organization of TMSN was friendly to them and was helpful to solve their problems aforementioned. As one major direction for the future, more science news and related instructional design packages should be included in TMSN to enrich the resource data. Other suggestions and educational implementation are also discussed.
