摘要

為推動能源科技教育，教育部指導由博物館統籌規劃辦理「全國能源科技創意實作競賽」，提供一競賽平臺，讓學生以能源為主題進行創意實作，從中決選出具創意且具體實踐的作品。為探析影響高中學生團隊參加競賽表現的因素，本研究透過文獻分析發展影響創意競賽表現模式，以2014～2017年參加全國能源科技創意實作競賽的387名高中學生為調查對象，進行驗證性因素分析，建構高中學生團隊競賽表現模式，探討在表現模式中各影響因素間的關係。研究結果發現，研究模式適配度理想，適用高中學生團隊競賽表現模式；團隊組成對於競賽表現具有直接顯著的影響，是影響最大的構面因素；知識運用構面對於競賽表現沒有直接影響，參賽動機因素對於知識運用構面有直接影響效果，雖未能直接影響競賽表現，但透過團隊組成對競賽表現具有間接影響效果。本模式分析高中學生參加團隊競賽表現的影響因素，研究結果有助於學校在組織團隊參加比賽時考量學生參賽動機、團隊組成及知識運用對競賽表現的影響。研究另提出具體建議，供學校參加類似競賽活動時參考，如學生團隊的組成方式、學校提供知識運用面的支援等。

To promote energy technology education, the ＂National Energy Technology Creative Contest＂ was co-sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the Science Museums, with the aim to provide a competitive platform that could allow students to implement creative projects based on the theme of energy. This study explored the influencing factors that affect the performance of senior high students participating in the contest. Based on literature review, this study developed a contest performance model, and treated the senior high school students (N = 387) participating in the National Energy Technology Creative Contest from 2014 to 2017 as subjects. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the contest performance model and explore the influencing factors in the model. Results of this study revealed: 1. the research model had good model fit to the data collected from the student participants; 2. the team composition dimension had a direct and significant influence on the contest performance and was the most influential of the assessed dimensions; 3. the knowledge application dimension had no direct influence on team performance; 4. motivation factors had direct influence on the knowledge application dimension. Although students' motivation did not directly affect team performance, it had a mediating effect on team performance through team composition. The proposed model analyzed the influencing factors that affected the team performance of senior high students participating in the contest. The results of this study may be of interest to high schools in evaluating the influence of motivation, team composition, and knowledge application on team performance when organizing teams. Several suggestions are put forward for reference to schools on team contest, including team composition and support from school on knowledge application from schools.
