牙醫系師生電腦使用能力與電腦輔助學習之態度

在敎學上妥善應用資訊科技是近年敎育改革的重點之一。資訊的快速累積造成傳統敎學方式無法有效的傳輸知識，而資訊科技被認為是解決此敎學困境的方法之一。如同其他領域，牙醫學敎育也受惠於資訊科技之應用，擁有基本的電腦操作能力可使牙醫系師生學習上更有效率。本研究以問卷方式連續三年於八十四、八十五、八十六學年初調查前一年（八十三、八十四、八十五學年）台灣大學牙醫學系學生電腦使用技巧與對電腦輔助學習環境態度，並於八十六學年初擴大調查對象至系上敎員。研究目的在提供比較牙醫系師生與國內醫學生及國外牙醫學生此方面技巧與態度之資料，並提供牙醫資訊學課程設計之參考。超過一成的學生於八十三學年不曾使用電腦，此比率逐年減少，八十五學年中只有約3％之師生不曾使用電腦。最常使用電腦的地方是家中或宿舍，使用率明顯較他處為高。最常使用電腦從事文書處理，八十三學年至八十四學年間網際網路之使用明顯增加。學生在網際網路上以使用電子佈告欄(BBS)為主，敎員使用全球資訊網高於BBS。獨立操作電腦之信心逐年增加，但仍有約一半之學生沒有信心獨立製作圖表檔案，而最有把握之項目是敎員列印檔案，也有一成之敎員沒有信心獨立列印檔案。對電腦輔助學習環境的態度，學生不論使用電腦能力均認為在有電腦輔助環境下學習將更簡單容易，有用，實際，且令人愉悦。調查結果顯示牙醫系師生需要牙醫資訊學方面之訓練，也認為電腦輔助學習環境將可增進學習效率。

The application of information technology in education has been a focus of educational reform. Traditional teaching methods have limitations in conveying exponentially growing knowledge to students. Information technology is one possible way of dealing with the rapid growth of knowledge. As in most other fields, dental education can benefit from the application of computers in teaching. Basic computer skills can make the faculty and students more productive. It is the aim of this study to survey the computer experience and basic computer skills of the students and faculty of this dental school, and determine their attitude toward Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). In the beginning of three consecutive academic years, question naires were sent out to dental students, and were sent to faculty in the last year. Over10% of dental students did not use a computer in the 1995 academic year. The percentage decreased to about 3% in 1997. Most students used a computer at home or in the dormitory. The frequency of computer use at these two places was significantly higher than in other places. Most students and faculty used a computer for word processing. There was a significant increase in Internet connections from “”academic year 1996 to 1997.BBS was the most popular activity on the Internet for the students, but the faculty used WWW more than BBS. Confidence in independent computer operation increased over the years. However, almost half of the dental students can not create a graphic document independently. No matter what the capability of students or faculty, they all believe a computer-assisted learning environment will be easier, more practical, and more pleasant. This study demonstrated that the students and faculty in this dental school need formal training in dental informatics. They also have a positive attitude toward a computer-assisted learning environment in dental education.
