摘要

本研究採用後結構女性主義取向，深入調查台北縣烏來地區24位國小五年級學童在學校的網頁製作與實踐，結果發現教室脈絡、電腦識讀、網頁建構及性別認同之間有密切的關係：（一）學校文化、教室氣氛、師生互動、同儕團體、性別偏見以及軟體的商業文化，會影響與限制學童的網頁製作與學習；（二）學童受到性別知識與經驗的影響，傾向以性別化的方式學習網頁製作；（三）網頁的「編織」特性，鼓勵女孩以超連結編造自己的文本；（四）缺乏性別與族群考量的電腦課程，無法幫助原住民學童利用新科技去破除性別刻板印象、以及縮短數位落差；（五）性別交錯著其他社會力（如：族群、階級等）共同影響學童的網頁製作與學習。

While employing feminist poststructuralist theoretical framework, this study focuses on twenty-four fifth-grade students from an elementary school in Wulai District, Taipei County, to illustrate how pupils' computer learning and homepage design skills can be intimately interconnected with the school's regulations and gendered self-perception of the students.
This study shows that the pupils' experiences in homepage design, and learning to use the Internet, can be influenced and limited by some of the following factors: school culture, classroom atmosphere, teacher-student rapport, forming of peer groups, gender bias, and the commercial culture spread through accessible software.
Second, we show that in learning how to design a homepage the pupils rely on their gender-related experiences and knowledge, and that they generally adopt specific gendered approaches.
Third, we demonstrate that the ”weaving-like” character of the Internet encourages female pupils to employ hyperlinks in creating their own hypertexts.
Fourth, this study argues that if computer courses must utilize gender-and ethnicity-insensitive curriculum, not even the indigenous students' learning to work with modern technology can contribute to eliminating gender stereotypes and narrowing of digital gaps.
Finally, we show that the process of pupils' learning and homepage design is influenced by an interrelated array of social forces, such as gender, class, and ethnicity.
