結合數位科技與紙本立體書之科普讀物開發研究 / Integrating digital technology and paper engineering in the development of science education pop-up books

魏亙隆, Wei, Keng Lung Unknown Date (has links)
互動性的閱讀,可追溯至13至18世紀間,發明用於計算基督教曆法和成人專業教育的立體書,它以紙材柔韌的可塑性,構成了「互動機關」與「立體模型」等形式的內容;至今,數位技術與電子載具內的硬體設備,更擴展了內容的表現範疇。紙本與數位各具優勢,紙本立體書的實體結構與材質特性提供讀者對空間性內容的認知,電子書的互動與影音則能增進讀者在動態與時間性內容的理解。諸多題材如天文學、建築學等與空間、時間相關的學科,藉由紙本和數位媒材的相互輔助,能夠更完整地傳達資訊,顯現媒材結合的重要性與發展性。然而,紙本與數位在內容、互動、閱讀方式等有許多的差異,國內市場雖可見到複合媒材的產品,但其結合常限於表層形式上之並置,尚未能將不同的媒材做有意義的結合與運用,以致無法提供讀者完善的閱讀體驗。本研究選用雪花的科學知識作為題材,將雪花具空間性的結構和時間性的變化過程,運用於結合紙本與數位媒材的立體書創作上。研究成果產出的「雪花複合媒材立體書」,能作為科學教育的教材,並提供日後複合媒材書籍研發與創作的參考。 / As technology develops, digital devices such as smartphones and tablets have become more and more popular, providing more possibilities of the forms for publishing companies to present the content. Despite the increasing growth of digital format publication, traditional printed books, because of the particular tangibility and the affections enjoyed by their readers, will not vanish. From this perspective, the integration of digital technology and printed book that exploits advantages from both sides would be worth exploring. Although there have been a few attempts in bringing these two media together in the publishing industry in Taiwan, there is still some way to go in terms of variety and quality. Through the investigation of the relationship between the materiality of different media, this project aims to explore ways of integrating tangibility and virtuality so that to create a new kind of mixed-media pop-up book that could provide new and interesting learning experience for the readers.

運用電子書廣泛閱讀於國中英語補救教學:以新北市一所國中為例 / Using e-book extensive reading as a remedial program: A case study of a junior high school in New Taipei City

凃惠文, Tu, Huei Wun Unknown Date (has links)
本論文主旨在探討以廣泛閱讀方式將電子書運用於國中英語補救教學的課程,對於英語補救教學學生在辨認字義、閱讀理解與英語閱讀態度的影響。文中亦探討學生在實行課程當中所面臨的困難與挑戰,以及對此課程之看法。本研究以六位來自新北市八年級英語補救教學學生為研究對象,每週上課一次為期26週,課程分兩階段進行。第一階段為上學期16週,採學生個人閱讀方式;第二階段則為下學期10週,加入同儕閱讀夥伴方式閱讀。兩階段課程之前後,分別以英語測驗作為前後測。而在本研究開始前及結束後,均對學生進行閱讀態度的量測,使用工具為Yamashita (2013)的第二語言閱讀態度量表。在全部課程結束後,所有學生須填寫關於本課程的問卷。 研究結果顯示在第二階段加入閱讀夥伴後,學生在辨認字義上有顯著進步。在閱讀理解方面則成效不明顯。而且,此課程對於補救教學學生在英語閱讀態度有正面影響。根據研究結果,本研究建議國中英語教師可妥善安排閱讀夥伴,以電子書廣泛閱 讀方式融入補救教學來提升學生的認字能力與英語學習態度。此外,本研究亦提供教師教學現場以及未來研究方向之建議。 / This study aims to investigate how e-book extensive reading as a remedial program (EERRP) affects English remedial learners’ word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading attitudes towards English. It also attempts to explore the difficulties and challenges met by the remedial students and their responses to the EERRP. Six eighth-grade remedial students at a junior high school in New Taipei City were participants in this study. The 26-week program was divided into two stages with one class period every week. Stage 1 included individual reading for the first 16 weeks and Stage 2 included pair reading with reading partners for the remaining 10 weeks. The Test of English Word Recognition and Reading Comprehension was administered to the remedial students as pre-test and post-test in both stages. The degree of changes in reading attitude was assessed by using the reading attitude scale (Yamashita, 2013) before and after the EERRP. At the end of the program, a post-study questionnaire was administered to each of the participants. The results showed that there was a significant difference in word recognition skills after the inclusion of reading partners in Stage 2. The effect was not quite as good for reading comprehension. Moreover, it was found that the EERRP had positive effects on the attitudes of the struggling EFL readers towards reading English. Based upon the findings, it is suggested that junior high school English teachers can make good use of reading partners and employ the EERRP to facilitate the word recognition skills and enhance the attitudes towards learning of struggling students. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for future studies are presented as well.
