本篇論文藉由探討主題推進類型 (thematic progression patterns)與凝結關係 (cohesive ties) 在高中英文教科書課文的呈現以及在英文大學入學考試試題 (綜合測驗，文意選填，篇章結構) 上的應用，來提倡篇章結構的閱讀方法；希望在英文閱讀方面能有啟發的功效。首先，高中英文教科書中敘述文和說明文類型的文章被挑選出來作分析。為了解釋文章的主題發展，功能語法觀點 (Functional Sentence Perspective) 的語言學家Daneš提出四個主題推進類型，分別為Type 1: Simple Linear TP，Type 2: TP with a continuous (constant) theme，Type 3: TP with derived T’s，Type 4: Exposition of a Split Rheme。Cloran另外建議兩個主題推進類型Type 5: Theme > Rheme 和Type 6: Rheme > Rheme。這六種主題推進類型再加上由Halliday and Hasan所提出的五種凝結關係 (cohesive ties, i.e. reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion) 被用來分析上述的文章並且應用在英文大學入學考試試題的解題。研究發現除了上述六種預設的主題推進類型之外，第七種類型被歸為Referential Type，涉及指稱詞 this和that 的使用。其他的發現敘述如下：在高中英文教科書文章分析方面，Type 1和Type 2出現的頻率最多，第二多是Type 5 and Type 6；Referential Type排名出現頻率的第三名，而Type 4少見，Type 3最罕見.。另外，在英文大學入學考試試題的應用方面，結果亦大致符合上述。至於凝結關係 (cohesive ties) 的頻率，指稱詞 (reference)，尤其是人稱代名詞出現最多次，字彙 (lexicon) 次之，然而大部份都是相同字 (same word or repetition) 的一再重複出現；其他字彙的呈現，如同義詞 (synonym)、反義詞 (antonym)、搭配詞 (collocation)、統領詞 (superordinate) 等稍嫌不足。 / Because little attention has been paid to the explicit teaching of text structure in local senior high schools, this present study analyzes the reading texts to explore how students are exposed to expositive and narrative text types and how the text is structured. Reading texts are selected from textbooks for senior high school students and then theme categories, thematic progression types and cohesive devices are analyzed. Combined Daneš’s theory with Cloran’s suggestion, the following six types of thematic progression (TP) are identified: Type 1, Rheme>Theme pattern (> means ‘followed by’); Type 2, Theme>Theme pattern; Type 3, Split Theme; Type 4, Split Rheme; Type 5, Theme>Rheme pattern; and Type 6, Rheme>Rheme pattern. Besides, five cohesive ties (i.e. reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion) proposed by Halliday and Hasan are identified as clue to trace the progression. Next, evidence is found to decode gapped passages in Integrative Test (綜合測驗, i.e. Cloze Test), Semantic Choice (文意選填), and Discourse Structure (篇章結構). Besides the presupposed six progression patterns mentioned above, one more type is found and categorized as Referential Type. The progression of Referential Type involves the use of cohesive device this or that. The findings are presented as follows: In the analysis of reading texts in EFL textbooks, thematic progression of Type 1 R>T and Type 2 T>T predominates the frequency of occurrence, while thematic progression of Type 5 T>R and Type 6 R>R follows behind, and Referential Type ranks third in terms of frequency, followed by Type 4 Split R outnumbering Type 3 Split T. Furthermore, while applying to the analysis of test passages, the outcome of progression types is roughly correspondent with what is mentioned above. As for cohesive ties, reference predominates the frequency of occurrence, followed by lexicon. Of all the cohesive devices, items of personal reference are found to appear most frequently, and then the second most are items of the same word. Through the exploration and analysis of thematic progression and cohesive devices, it is hoped that students’ awareness of textual organization will be enhanced and thus help activate efficient reading.

華語教材漸趨多元，圖文並茂的素材賞心悅目同時吸引讀者興趣，繪本兼具兩者特質，然而圖文書作為學習華語的語言材料尚未有獨立繪本可直接教學，本研究教材以華測會八千詞為依，加工原始資料，希望成為正規教材之外的初級華語學習教材。 學習者認為中文為困難的語言，學習評量成效不佳，此外受限每週課時，自學時間受專業課程壓縮，動機不足，故藉由兼具圖像與故事情節的繪本製作輔助教材，提高自學能力和興趣，增進閱讀理解，開展交際話題，促進觀點交流。製作繪本輔助教材作為課程材料，教授生詞、語法，從圖文創作：互證、互補、互釋和互斥四項模式教學，並且分析原創作中的圖像，示範教學方式。研究者自側面觀察紀錄教師教學，提供學習者心得回饋表，深入訪談教師和學習者經驗。結果指出學習者藉圖文教材提高學習樂趣，教學前的引導使其提前適應內容，故事討論加強全文組織、理解，增加話題，圖文模式應用於教學後更能掌握圖像互動，讀出其言外之意。最後討論動機的引起及維持、圖文模式和閱讀理解、教學目標和學習收穫，並提出未來華語教學之方向。 / Picture books enjoy great attention today. The readership of more sophisticated picture books like graphic novels increased in the last decade. Illustrated narratives are not confined to manga or children books anymore. Although Chinese teaching materials, too, made great advances in the last ten years and layout and design became more attractive than before, recent developments of teaching materials do not get catch up with the increased popularity of picture books, especially with graphic novels and other picture books for adults. The present study aims to explore the conditions we should care about when we want to use picture books in classroom teaching. A focus is laid on teaching Chinese reading and character acquisition for beginners (A2) who only have a very limited knowledge of Chinese. Can picture books facilitate the learning process of reading? Can illustrations help to comprehend textual meaning? To answer questions like this, the present study examines various theories and research results about the interaction between the illustrations and the reading processes and reflects these theories with their didactic significance. The background for the present study is a half year teaching experience using different picture books to teach reading and Chinese character acquisition to beginners who did not have much time in Taiwan for study and who are not very motivated to learn reading Chinese. At the beginning, the use of picture books as teaching materials aimed to motivate students to learn Chinese characters and to encourage them to read Chinese not only in the classroom, but also to apply their knowledge to their own activities in their leisure time. Later, the author deliberately used picture books as teaching materials to learn more about the advances and shortcomings of these materials. Thus, the present study is the theoretical reflection of this teaching experience. It investigates picture books not only from the perspective how picture books can facilitate learning processes of Chinese reading competence, but also from the perspective how can picture books contribute to motivate students to read Chinese inside and outside of the classroom. Teaching materials based on three picture books are presented in this study. These materials first were used for teaching beginners and become later more and more developed, evaluated and revised in accordance to teaching experience, learning outcome and students’ opinions. Course designs based on these materials are added at the end of the present study.

本研究旨在探討一批判思考策略「質疑作者法」，如何融入於台灣高職學生的英語閱讀能力養成，以及該策略對學生英語能力的影響。研究以台灣北部某高職38位高一學生為研究對象，為期五週。研究藉由學習單、學習歷程調查、教學觀察日誌、及焦點團體訪談等質性研究方法收集研究資料，再進一步歸納分析，以期廣泛且深入了解「質疑作者法」對於增進學生閱讀能力的效果，並同時得到更為適宜可行的教學應用。主要的研究發現如下： 一、 本研究中大多數學生對「質疑作者法」抱持肯定的態度。不論英語程度高低，該策略使學生獲得有別於過去的閱讀經驗，並同時增進其閱讀興趣及閱讀理解力。 二、 當教學者融入「質疑作者法」於教學活動時，教學者以協助者身分觀察學生對於教學活動的反應，隨時調整活動的進行。 三、 閱讀中的討論使學生能在一個支持的、低焦慮的學習環境中表達意見，並同時主動地建構文章的意義。 四、 本研究中，高成就與低成就學生在批判思考與閱讀能力方面皆有提升。透過「質疑作者法」，低成就學生相較於高成就學生建立較強的自信心並養成更高的閱讀興趣，從而由該策略中得到較多的助益。 根據上述結果，文末呈現教學上的義涵和應用，並對未來相關研究提出建議。 / This action research study aims to investigate the process of fostering reading comprehension ability of EFL vocational high school students by incorporating a critical thinking strategy, namely, “Questioning the Author”, into the English reading teaching activities. A total of thirty-eight 10th graders from a vocational high school in northern Taiwan participated in the present study for a five-week implementation. The data were collected through qualitative methods, including participants’ worksheets, learning surveys using Likert Scale and open-ended questions, the field notes and the teaching logs of the teacher researcher, and the focus group interviews for high and low achievers. The results were analyzed and interpreted with an attempt to have a profound and extensive understanding of the effect of the strategy “Questioning the Author” on students’ reading comprehension ability, along with generating more feasible pedagogical implications. Major findings are as follows: 1. Most students in the present study had a positive perception to the strategy “Questioning the Author”. Despite their different English proficiency levels, the strategy made a difference in their reading experiences, and meanwhile boosted their interest in reading and improved their reading comprehension ability. 2. When incorporating the strategy into teaching activities, the teacher as a facilitator observed the responses from students to modify the ongoing activities. 3. Discussions during reading provided a low-anxiety and supportive environment for students to express their opinions and construct meanings actively as well. 4. Although both high and low achievers made progress in their critical thinking and reading ability, the latter benefited more from the strategy than the former, for they developed more interests in reading as well as obtained higher confidence in themselves through the strategy. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for future studies are also included at the end of the thesis.

在閱讀文句的過程中，隨著文字內容的不同語言特性，眼睛凝視位置與時間也會有所不同；而使用眼動儀(eye tracker)可以精確記錄眼睛凝視的位置和停留時間，研究者可藉此瞭解閱讀歷程中不同的訊息處理機制。此外，眼動誘發呈現(eye movement contingent display)技術精確且快速的刺激呈現控制，能根據眼球凝視的位置，在特定時間與特定位置立即更換螢幕呈現的文字，如此對於閱讀歷程中訊息處理的動態運作，能夠提供更準確的掌握。實驗一以移動視窗的方式，測量中文閱讀的知覺廣度，發現眼睛每次凝視能知覺並處理的文字範圍，包括凝視點及右側四個中文字。實驗二亦採用移動視窗的方式，並操弄視窗週邊文字遮蔽的時間，發現週邊文字在凝視開始的90毫秒內即被提取；週邊文字遮蔽時間的長短不會影響凝視時間，而是影響在下個凝視點訊息整合之凝視時間。實驗三以邊界技術的方式，探討週邊文字被提取的特性，操弄預視字與目標字在字形與字音的相似或相異；結果顯示在一定的條件下，能獲得字音訊息在早期階段被提取之證據，而字形訊息在整合不同訊息的階段產生明顯的影響。實驗四則以快速促發作業的方式，探討凝視位置促發字的文字特性對目標字訊息整合的影響；結果顯示促發字呈現時間較短的情況下，字音效果只在形異的情況下產生，同樣獲得字音訊息在早期階段被提取之證據。本論文應用所發展的眼動誘發呈現技術進行一系列實驗，分別就中文閱讀的知覺廣度、凝視點對於週邊訊息之處理時序、以及週邊與凝視點位置對文字提取之特性和訊息整合機制加以探討，藉此推論中文閱讀時眼動所引發的動態文字處理歷程。 第一章　眼球運動與閱讀歷程的關係 I 第二章 閱讀的眼動控制之運作與影響因素 10 第三章 中文閱讀的眼動研究回顧 20 研究目的 30 第四章 眼動誘發呈現技術的發展 31 第五章 中文閱讀的知覺廣度與呈現改變的影響 34 實驗一 39 第六章 凝視點對週邊訊息的提取時間 45 實驗二 48 第七章 凝視點對週邊文字提取的特性 54 實驗三 55 第八章 凝視點上文字的語音提取 62 實驗四Ａ 64 實驗四Ｂ 65 綜合討論 68 參考文獻 76 附錄一：實驗一與實驗二使用的文章材料 109 附錄二：實驗三與實驗四的句子與操弄單字 113 / In the process of reading, the location and duration of eye fixations varied accroding the language properties of the text. Using the eye tracker nowdays, it precisely records the location and fixation duration of eye movements. That gives an opportunity to understand the cognitive operations of reading. Furthermore, the eye movement contingent display technique is capable to change the display with both the speed and precision. It changes the text on the computer screen at specific location and time, according the location where the eyes are fixating. This advanced technique provides the possibility to explore the nature of dynamic processing of reading. Experiment One uses the moving window paradigm to measure the perceptual span of Chinese reading. It showed that the range of perceived characters in reading includes four characters to the right of fixations. Experiment Two also uses the moving window paradigm but the time of showing "window" is varied. It showed that the characters in peripheral were perceived within 90 msec in the beginning of fixations. The time to mask the peripheral text did not affect the fixation duration of display change, but the time of next fixation. Experiment Three uses the boundary paradigm to show the type of character information can be retrieved in peripheral and integrated with the information on the next fixation. It showed the phonological code can be retrieved in peripheral, but the orthographic code is dominated when integrating information across fixations. Experiment Four uses the fast priming paradigm to show the type of information can be retrieved on fixations. It showed the same pattern for both the third and forth experiment. The phonological effect can be obtained under certain circumstances, when the availability or validity of orthographic information is reduced. The dynamic processing of eye movements in reading and a general model for cognitive operation are discussed.

一般人看新聞感興趣的原因不外乎兩種：一種是對新聞議題及內容本身有先前的偏好，自然對某類新聞產生選擇性的閱讀及興趣，另外一種則可能是因為新聞寫作及組織方式吸引人而產生的興趣；前者可稱為因文章"內容"引起的「絕對興趣」(absolute interest)，後者則是由於文章"形式"不同所產生的「相對興趣」(Schank,1979)，也是本文所關注的重點。 　　本研究主要探討新聞結構（形式）對讀者情感反應及興趣的影響，視新聞報導為敘事體的一種次類型，且其特殊的言說結構應具有功能，除了資訊告知的認知功能外，情感及娛樂上的作用是目前研究較少觸及的。 　　本研究將新聞文本分為傳統倒寶塔式及敘事性的正寶塔式兩種結構，利用實驗來比較讀者對不同文章結構所產生的情感反應和興趣程度。結果發現讀正寶塔新聞者情感反應較強，且反應強度愈高者，對文章感興趣的程度也愈高；並發現讀者情感反應的性質與新聞中的功能結構有關。 　　本研究証實了新聞結構對讀者情感上的影響，釐清其敘事言說的本質和功能，並進一步探討讀者的相對興趣，期能對新聞實務界及傳播研究中讀者與文本的互動研究有所啟示。

影片在網路內容中的比重日益增加，但超文本閱讀理解研究卻很少探討影片元素。本研究以實驗法探討超文本內容以不同表達模態（影片結合文字呈現、純文字呈現） 對理解及超文本大綱瀏覽行為的影響。 實驗以科普內容做為素材，招募81位大學生，隨機分配到實驗組及控制組：網頁影片結合文字組、網頁純文字組、紙本組三組，並要求受試者閱讀後以自由回憶(free recall)、概念圖寫下所看到的內容。接著，以Kintsch(1998)的建構－整合模式為基礎，建立文本中的巨觀命題與情境模式，並以命題分析法比對三組讀者回憶內容的差異。同時，也記錄網頁組二組受試者的瀏覽行為及時間。 研究結果發現，相同的內容，影片結合文字表達、及以純文字表達，就整體內容的巨觀命題、情境模式理解而言，二組讀者的理解並無差異。然而，若將影片、文字內容的巨觀命題理解分別統計，則發現收看影片結合文字組的受試者對影片內容的理解程度較高；若單就文字內容的理解進行分析，則發現收看網頁文字組的受試者對文字的理解程度較高。不同表達模態也影響讀者的瀏覽時間分配與瀏覽行為。當文字內容加入影片時，相較於純文字組，讀者在影片的瀏覽時間增加，文字內容瀏覽時間則較短。若內容只有文字單一表達模態，讀者會更依賴點選大綱及在頁面間點閱來幫助理解。文字組受試者的大綱瀏覽頻率、瀏覽總頁數高於影片結合文字組。 本研究同時對照網路與紙本不同媒介對讀者理解的影響。結果發現，此二媒介對讀者的巨觀命題理解無影響，但對讀者理解整體概念有影響，網路超文本的讀者，概念圖的回憶表現優於閱讀傳統紙本文字者。

學童階段推動閱讀教育非常重要，過去不乏對於閱讀動機與閱讀興趣之調查研究，但對於新興之數位閱讀實證性研究瞭解有限，有鑑於數位媒體將逐漸成為閱讀的新趨勢，本研究旨在探討GS-based 合作學習活動運用在國小閱讀教學的可行性，將學生的閱讀合作學習及教師的教學策略串連，研究採用準實驗研究法，以金門縣二所國小四年級各一班的學生，分成實驗組與控制組，實驗組進行「運用GS軟體結合電子繪本的合作學習教學活動」，而控制組進行「電腦教室環境不分組的大班電子繪本教學活動」，經過實驗處理後，接受「自編閱讀理解測驗」，以比較學生在閱讀理解成效的差異性，輔之以問卷調查實驗組學生對課程活動的態度看法，並以研究者觀察、錄影及訪談作為質性資料討論，最後，根據研究結果提出具體建議，以提供未來研究與教師在運用電腦輔助合作學習融入閱讀教學時之參考。 研究發現如下： 一、GS-based電腦輔助合作學習活動的閱讀教學模式，學生在閱讀理解成效方面，優於不分組大班學生獨立學習的電子繪本閱讀教學模式。 二、GS-based電腦輔助合作學習活動的閱讀教學，有利於幫助學生在推論分析及詮釋整合層次的閱讀理解，尤其是詮釋整合的理解歷程上，閱讀理解成效最為顯著。 三、無論是高成就組、中成就組或低成就組，實驗組不同成就組別之學生的閱讀理解成效皆優於控制組，尤以中成就組之學生，閱讀理解成效最為顯著。 四、透過GS-based合作學習活動，有助於小組集思廣益。積極參與型的小組運作，小組後測平均成績比主領導強勢型、無領導零碎型的小組運作方式成績高。 五、學生對GS結合電子繪本合作學習活動的新穎學習模式，持正向肯定的態度，同時認為可提高閱讀的興趣。 / The purpose of research is to discuss the practicability of applying GS- based collaborative learning project to reading instruction of primary school, which is to connect the reading collaborative learning with teachers’ teaching strategy. The research uses Quasi-experimental method by separating classes of students from two primary schools in Kinmen County as an experimental group and a control group. Experimental group implements the collaborative learning project by applying GS software to connect with electronic books and control group practices the ungrouped electronic books learning project in the computer classroom. After experimenting, to know the students’ reading comprehensive effectiveness, the students accepted the self-prepared comprehension tests and to use questionnaire survey to know how the students of experimental group think about the learning project. Moreover, serving as the researchers to observe, make the video record and interview as the qualitative for discussions ; finally, to address specific suggestions according to research result so as to provide the reference for future researches and teachers when they collaboratively apply computer to reading instruction. The research findings are as followings: （1）The reading instruction of applying GS based computer to collaborative learning project, the students’ reading comprehensive effectiveness is better than students who independently learn with the electronic books reading ins- truction in the big ungrouped class. （2）The reading instruction of applying GS-based computer to collaborative learning project is helpful for students’ reading comprehension on the parts of inferential analysis and interpretation of integrating levels; especially in the interpretation of integrating comprehensive process, the reading comprehend- sion is the most significant. （3）No matter for high achievement group, middle achievement group or low achievement group, the different experimental groups of students’ reading comprehension are better than control groups; especially the middle achieve- ment groups. Their reading comprehensive effectiveness is the best. （4）GS-based collaborative learning project is helpful for group thinking. The operation of group is positive and active. Their test results are better than con- trol group and non-leader fragmented group. （5）The students are positive about GS connecting electronic books with collaborative learning project and they also think which can enhance their inte- rest to reading.

本論文探討三種不同的教學模式對於92位較低成就的國中學生的聽力及閱讀理解的影響，採取量化及質性並行的研究。實驗的自變項為三種事前教學輔助，分別為：一、獨立回答學習單的問題；二、老師給予單字及背景知識的教學；三、學生分成小組回答問題，而依變項為學生在聽力及閱讀理解測驗所得的成績。本實驗除了以聽力及閱讀理解測驗驗證事前教學模式的功效，也以學習態度問卷收集相關的資料。教學流程為學生接受15分鐘的教學輔助，然後收聽30分鐘英語學習雜誌，學生接受10次教學，實驗進行十週。實驗結果發現三組學生經歷不同教學模式後，他們的閱讀成績有顯著的差異，其中「學生分成小組回答問題」對閱讀能力幫助最大，而「獨立回答學習單的問題」優於「老師給予單字及背景知識的教學」。另外，「學生分成小組回答問題」能有效提昇聽力及閱讀成績，「學生獨立回答學習單的問題」也對學生的聽力及閱讀有幫助，但未達顯著水準。本研究建議老師在教學前，將學生分為小組討論並回答學習內容相關的問題，以提升學生的學習及理解力。 / The present study aimed to examine the effects of three different kinds of teaching modes on the listening and reading comprehension of 92 less-proficient junior high school students in Taiwan. Comprehension tests and questionnaires were employed to collect related data, which were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The independent variables were the three different kinds of teaching modes; the dependent variables were students’ scores on the listening and reading comprehension tests. There were three experimental classes learned in three kinds of modes for 15 minutes before they listened to a 30-minute English learning magazine’s teaching program. One class read a worksheet and finished the tasks on their own. Another received vocabulary and background knowledge instruction from the researcher. The other class discussed in small groups and answered pre-questions. The experiment took 10 class periods in 10 consecutive weeks. The results are found that the teaching mode including a) studying the handouts and completing the tasks in the individual mode, and b) small group discussion to answer pre-questions are beneficial to lower-proficient EFL junior high school students’ listening and reading comprehension. The latter pre-activity exalted reading comprehension to a significant level, and it also contributed to significant improvement in both listening and reading comprehension. However, receiving vocabulary and background knowledge instructions in a teacher-centered class did not effectively facilitate the participants’ performance. To sum up, the results showed that teachers could ask students to have small group discussion on pre-questions of extra-curriculum learning materials in regular class periods to enhance their listening and reading comprehension.

iPad自2010年推出以來，佳績不斷，成為史上銷售最快的電子產品，蘋果公司又於2011年乘勝推出iPad2，再次贏得全球矚目，消費者不但是引頸期盼，iPad所到之處更是門庭若市、大排長龍，這不但成為電子產品銷售奇蹟，更為人類閱讀歷史帶來了革命性的改變，為現代人的數位閱讀生活掀起浪潮，iPad影響之大，由此可見一斑。本研究聚焦於iPad進行深入研究，嘗試找到iPad之於此波數位閱讀浪潮，之所以能脫穎而出之原因，以及iPad之於此波數位閱讀浪潮，其所扮演的角色為何？iPad之於數位閱讀浪潮，未來發展趨勢為何？ 本研究採用質化研究法，包括文獻分析法、線上資料整理法，以及深度訪談法，研究整理之後，得到以下結論： iPad之所以能掀起數位閱讀浪潮，究其原因，可分內在與外在因素來看： 一、內在因素：iPad能提供使用者難忘的經驗，以體驗經濟理論來看，這的確符合了Pine & Gilmore的理論：體驗就是創造難忘的經驗，成為消費者美好的回憶，讓其體會到娛樂性、教育性、逃避現實以及一種美學的感受。 二、外在因素：長久以來電子書閱讀器或平板電腦市場已經累積了許多失敗的教訓，這些都成為iPad推出前可供參考的重要資訊，最後是環境的成熟，網際網路的普及、資訊環境的便利、雲端技術的進步等等，正像Malcolm Gladwell所觀察到的，許多變化來得又快又急，就在於觀念、行為、訊息及產品等，像傳染病一般突然間發作蔓延，一旦達到「引爆點」，就會忽然間將時代潮流一口氣往前邁進。 以上內外因素使得iPad具備了天時地利人和的關鍵因素，因此，當iPad一出，立刻造成全球搶購風潮，進而帶來數位閱讀之新氣象。 本研究發現如下： 一、iPad擴大了閱讀的族群，發揮其引導功能 過去不看書，或是過去不碰電子書的人，很可能因為對iPad的好奇，而開始接觸數位閱讀，可以說，iPad擴大了閱讀的人口，許多人隨時隨地瀏覽新聞、雜誌、網頁、書籍，無形之中鼓勵了閱讀風氣，增加了讀書的人口。 二、iPad豐富了閱讀內容：影音加文字、動態與互動 iPad使得閱讀這件事變得廣義而豐富，閱讀不再限於靜態的、文字的、黑白的，而是彩色的、動態的影音內容，甚至有互動的設計，使得閱讀內容多彩多姿。 三、iPad串起了閱讀行為，完成數位閱讀新載體架構 iPad能夠在體積小、行動力強的手機與功能強大的電腦之間，串起讀者的閱讀行為，提供所謂的無縫式閱讀，這都歸因於iPad能提供隨時隨地、隨開隨用的閱讀優勢，讓讀者可以在不同情境下取用資訊，串起現代人的數位閱讀行為，完成了數位閱讀的新載體架構。 iPad使得繁忙的現代人得以運用更簡便、更有效率的方式管理個人的閱讀生活。以數位閱讀的角度來看，iPad可以刺激學習者的動機，提高閱讀者的興趣，單一紙本閱讀的時代已經過去了，現在的人們可以用iPad體驗更豐富更精采的閱讀生活。 本研究建議如下： 一、iPad對閱讀的影響：iPad之於數位閱讀，由於其畫面亮麗、功能豐富，使用者可能會傾向於淺層理解、容易分心，收收E-mail、玩一下遊戲、看一段新聞等，閱讀可能會淪為片段式的所謂的「輕閱讀」，若要深入做學術研究，或是專題報告等，效果如何，不得而知。總之，iPad的確引起了使用者的閱讀興趣，但效果究竟如何，值得後續觀察。 二、iPad對人際關係的影響：iPad之問世，許多人愛不釋手，尤其是App Store，天天都有新玩意兒，人與機器互動的時間增加許多，如此以往，會不會造成人與人之間的疏離感，而且iPad2還有Facetime功能，人對機器講話的機會也增加了，這會不會使人與人相處的臨場感逐漸消失，至終引起社會問題，值得注意。 / iPad, since its launch in 2010, becomes the fastest-selling electronic product in history. Followed by iPad2 in 2011, iPad once again won the global attentions. Wherever iPad goes, numerous consumers wait in long lines. Sales of this electronic product, not only become a miracle, but also brought a revolutionary change into the reading history of mankind. The influence of iPad, is evident. This thesis focused on iPad, trying to find the reason why iPad is so outstanding among all the e-readers? What role is iPad palying in the wave of digital reading? And how iPad will lead the trends in the future of digital reading life of modern people? This study used qualitative research methods, including document analysis, online data compilation method, and depth interviews The important research results are as follows: Why iPad is able to set off a wave of digital reading? The answer can be divided into internal and external factors: (A) Internal factors: iPad offers users a memorable experience. From the experience economic theory point of view, it is indeed in line with the Pine & Gilmore’s theory: to create a memorable experience is the key to satisfy consumers. Let consumers feel entertainment, education, escapism, and an aesthetic experience. (B) external factors: For a long time, e-book readers or tablet PC have ended in failures. All these failures become important informations for iPad’s design. Meanwhile, the maturity of the environment, including the popularity of the Internet, information environment to facilitate the clouds and technological progress, etc., just like Malcolm Gladwell observed that, many changes came too fast and urgent, such as concept, behavior, messages and products. all of a sudden, everything reach the “tipping point”, and it will suddenly move forward the trend of the times in one breath. With internal and external factors, iPad causes a global phenomenon, brings the new digital reading era. What iPad brought into the reading history of mankind?: (A) iPad expanded reading population People who do not read books in the past, or people do not touch e-books before, probably because of the curiosity about iPad, they will start to read books with iPad.In another word, iPad has expanded reading population. More and more people start to read news, magazines, books with iPad, because it is so convenient. (B) iPad enriches the reading content: including audio, video and interactive design iPad makes reading broad and rich. Reading is no longer limited to static, text, black and white, but colorful, filled with video and even interactive. iPad enriches the content-of reading. (C) iPad brought the completion of digital reading behavior of modern people iPad, between the small, mobile cellphones and strong and powerful computers, plays the key role of the readers’ reading behavior, providing the so-called seamless reading, which offer the iPad users to read anytime, anywhere, so that the readers can access informations in different situations. iPad brought the completion of digital reading behavior of people. iPad offers modern people to build a efficient management of individual reading life. iPad can stimulate the readers’ motivation, improve their interest. With iPad, people can experience richer and more exciting reading life. The recommendations are as follows: (A) iPad and Reading: iPad, because of its bright screen, feature-rich, the users might be inclined to shallow understanding. They are easily distracted by collecting E-mail, playing games, and watching a piece of news. This kind of reading become so-called “light reading”. If people want to do further academic research or special reports, iPad is useful or not still remain unknown. It is worth follow-up observation. (B) iPad and interpersonal relationships: iPad is so amazing that many people enjoy using the device, especially the App new stuffs coming up every day. In the future, iPad will cause alienation between people or even cause social problems, we still need to observe it.

由於資訊科技與顯示技術的大幅進步，電子書閱讀裝置成為近來十分受矚目的產品，然綜觀目前國內外電子書的發展，多以較具消費能力的上班族為對象，較少以基礎教育的學生為目標使用者。 本研究針對使用於教育市場的電子書閱讀器進行前導性的實驗，並透過自行設計的使用者介面、數位學習平台及結合傳統問卷與自動化使用者行為蒐集程式，結合質化研究與量化分析的優點，以瞭解最真實的學生使用習慣與方式。 本研究目的在於探索電子書閱讀器進入高中學生的實際課堂學習與日常生活之中，對學生的學習經驗或閱讀習慣所產生之影響，並進一步瞭解從學生最初接觸電子書的新鮮試用期，到後續逐漸習慣使用或棄用電子書等不同階段的行為變化。透過此研究，瞭解電子書閱讀器應用於教育市場的接受程度及可能潛力，做為未來電子書設計、開發與推廣使用的可行性參考依據。 / Recently, e-book reading devices based on electronic ink (e-ink) have gained a lot of attention thanks to the rapid advances in both information and display technology. However, current products are mainly targeted on general users for their daily reading activities. Research on introducing the e-reading device into high school or college campuses has commenced only quite recently. In this thesis, we exploit the potential of employing e-book reading devices in facilitating learning in a high school campus. We have custom-designed the user interface as well as the textbook content to suit the needs of this particular user group. The unique opportunity of having access to the hardware device, software design and potential users creates an ideal experimental platform for us to unbiasedly investigate the role of this new technology through a long-term user behavior collection and analysis process. This study aims to explore how the introduction of e-book reader into high school campus influences the students’ learning and daily life. We documented changes in the users’ e-book reading behavior during the course of a six-month experiment, corresponding to progressive stages of growing familiarity and comfort with using the machine. We found that e-book reader does help the students to develop a habit of mobile reading. Its effect exceeds our expectation of achieving digital learning. We hope that the findings presented in this thesis can be useful to teachers and system designers to develop new types of teaching materials and activities by taking advantages of the characteristics of this new technology.
