摘要

COVID-19疫情影響期間，許多學校採取遠距教學的方式防疫。原本不是為線上授課而設計的課程，轉為網路教學後面臨各樣的挑戰。本研究動機係針對在學期中經歷由實體轉為遠距的課程，以行動研究來探究線上合作學習活動的實施成效。目的在探討學生的網路合作學習經驗、發現網路合作學習的教學實務問題，並且提出改善網路合作學習實施成效的方法。研究對象為臺灣南部一所醫學大學選修溝通與領導力課程的48名學生，於108學年度下學期進行資料蒐集。研究結果發現：一、相較於線上溝通，學生明顯較喜愛以面對面的方式進行小組討論，對於面對面溝通的結果也明顯較為滿意。二、網路合作學習成效的促進因素包括：教師的參與以及教學助理的協助、明確的合作任務與進度，以及同儕互評的機制等。三、教學實務發現的問題包括在：線上討論、學習任務、團隊凝聚等方面。本研究提出改善網路合作學習成效的實施方法包括：建立小組合作的線上溝通規則、規劃合適的任務與充分的執行時間、經營團隊關係與安排領導者等。最後根據研究結果提出對於未來在課程規劃與研究上的建議。

During the COVID-19 epidemic, remote teaching was implemented as epidemic prevention by many schools. The motivation of this research was to conduct action research on the course conversion from classroom to distance teaching. The research purposes were to investigate the students' online collaborative learning experiences, discover teaching practice problems, and propose methods to improve online collaborative learning. Research participants were 48 students in a communication and leadership class of a medical university in southern Taiwan. The results showed that: (1) Compared with online communication, students obviously prefer face-to-face group discussions and are more satisfied with the outcome of face-to-face communication. (2) Factors promoting the effectiveness of online collaborative learning are: assistance from the teacher and teaching assistant, specific task and schedule, and peer evaluation. (3) Methods to improve the effectiveness of online collaborative learning are proposed, including establishing online communication rules, assigning appropriate tasks with sufficient execution time, and building up team relationships and arranging proper leaders. Finally, suggestions for future curriculum planning and research are presented.
