本研究的主要目的為發展一套主題式自我決策教學課程,並探討此課程對提升國中資源班學生自我決策的相關技能之教學成效。研究以準實驗研究之設計方法來評估學生於教學前與教學後在自我決策能力表現之差異。本研究以立意取樣方式從兩所公立國中選取32名資源班學生 (主要為學習及智能障礙) 參與研究,其中16位為接受教學之實驗組,另16位為不接受教學之控制組。本研究所發展的「休閒棒棒堂」是ㄧ種主題式與需求本位的自我決策課程,課程進行方式為直接教學十四次及實作教學四次,教師透過多元性的教學方式,包括講述、角色扮演、小組討論及提供示範與練習等方式使學生在有趣及自然的情境中學得瞭解、分析、計畫、行動與評價等五個自我決策的能力。教學方案的成效以共變數分析法比較學生在自編測驗之前後測分數的差異。同時以教學日誌及訪談學生、家長與老師輔助說明課程之成效。研究結果顯示,實驗組學生於接受教學後的自我決策能力表現較控制組學生佳且達統計顯著性。本研究的結果說明,若教師能使用主題式的自我決策課程,針對學生的能力與需求實施教學,則國中資源班學生的自我決策能力可以有效被提昇。本研究最後針對研究結果,提出有關國中資源班自我決策教學及未來從事相關研究之具體建議。
The purpose of this study is to develop a curricular program aimed at promoting self-determination skills and knowledge of students in resource class at junior high school. A quasi-experimental design was utilized to examine the differences between students’ pretest and posttest performance. Subjects were 32 junior high school students (with learning and intellectual disabilities) recruited from two public junior high schools. Students were assigned to an experimental group (n = 16) and a control group (n = 16) based on their school. The curricular program-Leisure lollipop developed in this study is a need-based and competence-based curriculum implemented for 14 times throughout the entire study. During each class, teachers used varied instruction methods including detailed explanations, modeling, and group discussions to help students learn important self-determination skills including self-realizing, planning, analyzing, acting, and evaluating. Effect of the curriculum was evaluated by using a series of analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs), teaching reflects/records, and interviews with students, teachers, and parents. Results showed that after receiving the self-determination instruction, students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group. Findings of the study suggested that self-determination skills of students with learning disabilities and intellectual disabilities from junior high school resource class could be improved when an appropriate curricular program is available. Suggestions and implications are provided for self-determination curricular program design and future research.
