摘要

電腦與網路技術的快速發展，吸引了研究人員對於應用資訊科技在教學方面的策略及可能影響的研究興趣。雖然過去的研究已證實應用資訊科技在學習過程中可獲得的優勢，但相對地也體會其困難。主要的困難之一，是在教育上使用資訊科技時，缺乏可記錄學習歷程的學習環境，以提供教師分析與評估學生的學習效能，進而調整教學策略的依據。在本研究中，我們提出一個分析學生線上解決問題能力之電腦化輔助模式，可記錄學生在線上搜尋資料的行為，以協助教師評估學生使用搜尋引擎解決問題的能力。為了驗證這個方法，我們以國中小學社會科學及自然科學課程目標，針對67位教師與220位國小四至六年級的學生進行實驗。由實驗結果發現，本研究提出的方法可協助教師瞭解學生的學習狀態及問題解決能力，對於改善教學成效有相當的助益。

The rapid progress of computer and network technologies has attracted educational researchers to study the strategies and the effects of applying information technology in learning activities. Although previous research demonstrated the benefits of applying information technologies to learning process, its difficulty was also reveled. One of the major difficulties is owing to the lack of a learning environment that can record the learning portfolio of using information technologies in education, such that the teacher can analyze and evaluate the learning performance of students, and hence the teaching strategies can be adjusted accordingly. In this paper, we propose a web-search learning environment based on meta-index approach, which is able to assist the teachers in analyzing student learning behaviors of using search engines for problem solving. An experiment on social science and natural science courses of several elementary and junior high schools that 67 teachers have been conducted to evaluate the benefits of this approach to evaluate the performance of the innovative approach. Experimental results showed that the novel approach is able to assist the teachers to acquire more about the learning status of students, and hence more constructive suggestions can be given accordingly.
