摘要

本研究為研究者本身透過教師反思的方式，進行實作評量之行動研究，以了解設計、實施實作評量之過程中，教師所遭遇的困難、解決之道；及實施實作評量後，學生的知覺感受與學習的成效。研究結果顯示，研究者與合作教師共設計「校園植物檢索表」、「光的反射與平面鏡」與「探索花的構造」等三次實作評量，在設計與實施實作評量時，共面臨了下列6項困難：一、小組組別數過多造成時間不足；二、實作評量單元不易挑選；三、實作任務主題的設計不易；四、實作任務不一定能確實評量出學生所學之概念；五、設計者學科教學知識不足；六、標準與評分表制定不易。主要的解決方法有三：一、與合作教師討論學生的能力、任務難易度等。二、針對實作評量的內容向專家請益。三、經過預試，針對評分項目、實施過程加以修改。透過以上方式，研究者與合作教師順利的解決問題。研究者與合作教師在設計、實施三次實作評量後，更加了解評量目的與實作評量的意涵、設計實作評量的方式，並瞭解實作評量的優缺點，以及未來如何使用實作評量。此外，實施實作評量後，學生對相關科學概念的了解程度、應用所學知識於任務中，以及情意的學習成效均有所成長。

The purpose of this study was to investigate on how to design and implement performance assessment in middle school science course through teachers' collaborative action research. During this action process, the study was attempted to understand difficulties the teachers might meet, and how to solve them. The study also assessed its effectiveness on students' learning. The researcher's self-reflection on performance assessment was also reported in the study.
The results of this study show that after developing three units of performance assessments, such as ”The school plants”, ”The light reflection and the plane mirror”, and ”Inquiring the structures of the flowers”, the teachers reported that they met the following difficulties: 1. Too many groups for doing performance assessment 2.Diffjculty for searching appropriate topics for performance assessment. 3. Difficulty to decide the performance tasks. 4. Difficulty to understand student' learning outcome from the performance tasks. 5. The lack of background knowledge for design performance assessment. 6. Hard to decide the rubric forms of assessment. The main methods for solving the above problems were the discussion with the cooperated teachers, consulting the experts, and revising design of performance assessments after practicing. However, the students' learning achievements were increased after the performance assessments.
