本研究主要的目的在經由行動研究的歷程,解決在家教育的肢體障礙學生可能面臨失學的問題。研究個案以某特殊學校九十學年到九十八學年間因病弱或手術開刀隨事實自然發生的在家教育的五位肢體障礙學生,因此,本研究透過行動研究歷程,採用錄影觀察、問卷調查及訪談學生的IEP的書面資料等方式來蒐集資料。研究結果發現:肢體障礙學生遠距教學模式,有效地應用遠距教學結合現代化的電腦與通訊科技,來提供在家教育的肢體障礙學生與學校老師間新型態雙向互動的學習環境,肢體障礙學生在家教育仍然可以隔空面對面的學習與交談,電腦多媒體視訊的遠距教學對老師與肢體障礙的學生是一種新的嘗試,然而,與傳統教學相較也有其缺失,如畫面不夠清晰,網路傳輸速度遲滯影響了互動的意願,進而影響了教學品質;考試與作業的繳交也比傳統教學方式更麻煩,可見遠距教學對在家教育的肢體障礙學生有其價值並且藉此反省其困境,據此以為進一步的建議。
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of CMC Distance Learning to pupils with physical disabilities in home-based education. The subjects were five pupils with physical disabilities who needed home-based education because their physical condition. Distance learning combines modern computer and communication technologies to provide an interactive environment between pupils with physical disabilities in home-based education. Through video conferencing systems and network, teachers and pupils with physical disabilities can perform face-to-face communication from classroom to home. Taking distance learning are both new experiences for teachers and pupils. However, distance learning has also its drawback as compared with traditional leaning low visual resolution and interactivity may reduce the learning effectiveness directly and taking exam or submitting home work is more laborious. Finally some recommendations for further study are indicated.
