摘要

各國為提升學生閱讀興趣及能力並建立閱讀習慣，進行各種閱讀及讀報教育。本研究的主要目的為以《國語日報》為素材，運用學習共同體進行讀報教育，探討讀報教育對學生閱讀興趣及能力之影響。以臺北市某國小五年級28位讀報實驗班的學生為對象，實施為期八週的讀報教育課程，課程包括「主題教學」、「一分鐘小主播」、「讀報分享單」、「讀報Q&A」及「每週一文分享單」。以個案研究法，學生填答之問卷做量化分析，並輔以學生讀報分享單、上課觀察紀錄、上課照片及影音檔等資料進行質性分析。
研究結果顯示：以學習共同體進行讀報教育，觀察學生閱讀《國語日報》的十六個版面，各版面的閱讀量皆有提升，學生閱讀報紙版面閱讀量最高的是「漫畫」，提升最多的是「教育」；除了「故事」版面，學生閱讀各版面的比例皆更趨近均衡閱讀百分比；學生對《國語日報》及讀報教育的看法多持正面態度，以「我喜歡讀報」最受肯定，「我想向其他人推薦讀報」提升最多。在學生閱讀課外讀物之興趣方面，能提升學生的閱讀課外讀物意願的類型有「散文」、「詩歌」、「繪本」、「長篇小說」與「短篇故事」，但在課外讀物主題方面，僅能提升「哲學與宗教」及「總類」的閱讀意願。讀報教育有助提升學生國語文基本能力的自我評價，且以「聆聽能力」自我評價最高，「說話能力」提升最多。「聆聽能力」評價最高的為「我比較有耐性聆聽別人發表意見」，以「我能從聆聽中，思考如何解決問題」提升最多；「說話能力」評價最高的為「我更容易和別人聊天溝通」，以「我更願意上台向同學發表文章心得」提升最多；「閱讀能力」評價最高的為「我閱讀速度變快」及「我閱讀時能抓到重點」，另「我閱讀時能抓到重點」也是提升
最多的；「寫作能力」評價最高的為「我認識更多字和詞彙」及「我寫作文、週記或學習單時更能掌握主題」，另「我寫作文、週記或學習單時更能掌握主題」也是提升最多的。
根據上述研究結果提出建議，以供參與研究的讀報班級與教育單位未來進行讀報教育之參考。第一，讀報實驗班可以利用學習共同體進行讀報教育，讓學生在課堂中自由的討論及發表意見；第二，教育單位編寫課程時，可以融入以《國語日報》為素材的讀報教育，以符合國語文領域聽說讀寫之基本能力；第三，建議進行讀報教育研究的每位學生每天都有一份報紙；第四，如欲研究讀報習慣的養成，建議於讀報教育結束後，繼續就相關主題進行研究。

Various reading programs and newspaper reading education are promoted around the world, with the goal to increase the reading interests and cultivate a reading habit in students. The objective of this study was to use Mandarin Daily News as the material and utilize learning community as an approach for newspaper reading education to investigate the effects of newspaper reading education on students’ reading interests and reading abilities. The subjects of this study were 28 fifth-grade students of an experimental newspaper reading class in an elementary school in Taipei City. During a period of eight weeks, they received a series of lessons including “Theme-based teaching”, “One-minute news presenter”, “Newspaper reading worksheet”, “Q&A on newspaper reading”, and “One article of the week”. Based on the case study method, students’ questionnaire responses were used for quantitative analysis, and students’ sharing forms on newspaper reading, class observation records, and class photos and video files were collected for qualitative analysis.
Results indicated that after implementation of the learning community-based newspaper reading education, the students showed an improved print exposure to all the 16 pages of Mandarin Daily News, with the highest print exposure to the “comic” page, and the largest increase in exposure to the “education” page. Except for the “story” page, all the pages had almost similar amounts of print exposure. Most of the students showed a positive attitude towards Mandarin Daily News and newspaper reading education, scoring highest on the item “I like newspaper reading” and having the largest increase in score for “I’d like to recommend newspaper reading to others”. As for students’ interests in reading extracurricular materials, “prose”, “verse”, “picture book”, “novel”, and “short story” were the genres of reading materials that could improve students’ willingness to read extracurricular materials. Among the themes of extracurricular materials, students showed a higher willingness to read only for “philosophy and religion” and “general” categories. Newspaper reading education could improve students’ self-evaluation of their basic Chinese language abilities. The score for “listening ability” was the highest, with the increase in score for “speaking ability” being the largest. In the aspect of “listening ability”, the highest score was observed for “I’ve become more patient in listening to others’ opinions”, and the increase in score for “I can think about how to solve the problem from listening” was the largest. In the aspect of “speaking ability”, the highest score was for “It has become easier for me to chat and communicate with others”, with the increase in score for “I am more willing to share my feedback on news articles on the stage” being the largest. In the aspect of “reading ability”, the highest score was observed for “I read faster” and “I can catch the key points in news articles”; the score for “I can catch the key points in news articles” also improved most greatly. In the aspect of “writing ability”, both “I have learned more words and phrases” and “I am more able to stick to the topic when writing a composition, a weekly journal or worksheet” were given the highest score, and the increase in score for “I am more able to stick to the topic when writing a composition, a weekly journal or worksheet” was also the largest.
Based on the above findings, this study proposed suggestions for newspaper reading classes and educational institutions. Firstly, experimental newspaper reading classes can adopt the learning community-based approach in newspaper reading education, allowing students to freely discuss and express opinions. Secondly, during course development, educational institutions could incorporate newspaper reading education with Mandarin Daily News as the material, so as to meet the requirements for the basic Chinese language abilities, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Thirdly, each students participating in the research of newspaper reading education should be given a newspaper every day. Fourthly, to gain a deeper understanding of the formation of a newspaper reading habit, research of related topics should be conducted following the newspaper reading education.
