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.

La finalidad de esta investigación ha sido el diseño, aplicación y evaluación de un programa de intervención, basado en la lectura interactiva de cuentos, para la enseñanza de las habilidades de comunicación asistida y de alfabetización emergente, dirigido a alumnos de educación infantil con graves trastornos motores y del habla. El programa implementado está fundamentado en los componentes de intervención en alfabetización: el contexto de aprendizaje, el contexto del lenguaje y el contexto de lo escrito (Smith, 2005), las propuestas de los cuentos para aprender (Musselwhite y King-DeBaun, 1997), así como en las estrategias de interacción dirigidas al profesorado.El estudio empírico ha consistido en un estudio evaluativo-cooperativo con tres casos, de distinto nivel comunicativo y lingüístico: preintencional, emergente y básico. En ellos se ha analizado el nivel de participación en la lectura de cuentos, las habilidades de alfabetización emergentes alcanzadas y las oportunidades de participación ofrecidas por el profesor. / The purpose of this research has been the design, implementation and evaluation of a program intervention, based on interactive stories, assisted communications and emerging literacy skills teaching reading to students children with severe motor disorders and speech. Implemented program is based on intervention in literacy components: learning context, language context and the writing context (Smith 2005), books for learning (Musselwhite and King-DeBaun, 1997), as well as interaction strategies aimed at teachers.The empirical study has been in an evaluative-cooperative study with three cases study with different linguistic and communicative level: preintencional, emergent and basic. The level of participation in reading stories, reached emerging literacy skills and participation opportunities offered by the professor has been scanned in them.

This study explores storybook illustrations in learning word meanings among English learners in a university intensive language program. The impact of children’s literature on the comprehension and vocabulary development of second language children is well-documented. However, the use of the literature with adults still needs to be researched. Therefore, a mixed-method study was designed (1) to investigate whether readers who read an authentic illustrated story differed from those who read the same story without illustrations; and (2) to learn more about the readers’ process of learning words from storybook illustrations. Results suggest that illustrations play an important role in both comprehending the text and learning individual words, however issues related to the accessibility of the text and readers’ ability to use context should also be taken into consideration. The findings support prior research that the benefits of learning from context take time to become robust. The study suggests that illustrated storybooks provide a rich context for adults to infer word meanings and recommends children’s literature as an alternative source of reading in programs serving adult English learners.
