摘要

背景與目的：研究已發現學習類型會影響學術成就、臨床操作表現及教學傾向。而根據Kolb的經驗學習理論指出學習包含四大類型。Honey及Mumford則進一步將此四大類學習類型定義為行動者、思考者、理論者、實用者類型。本文的目的主要是探討技職體系中科技大學物理治療系學生的學習類型，並比較不同年級、性別與入學前的教育背景者之差異。研究方法：以中部某科技大學物理治療系學生為研究對象，自填中文版學習方式問卷(C-LSQ)。結果：進行分析之問卷共201份（男性30人、女性171人），有超過一半學生在行動者類型(53.7%)以及在思考者類型(64.2%)具極高取向或高取向，但僅有30.3%的學生在理論者類型，37.4%的學生在實用者類型具極高取向或高取向。統計分析結果顯示雖四種學習類型之分數有所差異，但性別、無級及入學前教育背景在學習類型上並未有所差異。結論：技職體系中科技大學物理治療系多數學生的學習類型比較偏向於行動者類型或思考者類型。依據Kolb經驗學習結構模型顯示，本研究多數學生在訊息收集及學習方式上比較喜好具體知識的獲取及由立即性的經驗中學習，此研究結果可以提供技職體系物理治療系課程設計與教學內容重要之參考。

Background and Purpose: It is known that learning approaches influence student's academic outcome, clinical performance and instructional preferences. Kolb has developed a four-stage cycle of learning style model. Honey and Mumford further modified and described the four learning styles as activitists, reflectors, theorists and pragmatists. The purpose of the study was to determine the learning styles of physical therapy students in technological university, and to compare students from different gender, academic years, and pre-entrance educational background. Method: 267 physical therapy students were recruited from one of technological university. All subjects completed the Chinese version of Learning Style Questionnaire (C-LSQ). Results: 201 questionnaires were analyzed (Men 30, Women 171). The majority of students were very strong and strong activities (53.7%), and reflectors (64.2%). There were less than 40% students had the preferred learning style of theorist or pragmatist. No significant difference among gender, grade and pre-entrance educational background were found in the four learning styles. Conclusion: The students of physical therapy program in technological university were in preference of Activities and Reflector styles. They prefer to learn through ”feeling concrete experience” and ”reviewing the experience”. It is important to know students' preferred learning styles for curriculum design and effective teaching.
