摘要

隨著線上學習環境的快速發展，以網路為基礎的合作學習環境對於教學與學習的教育模式已變得相當重要。最重要的是，在這種環境下學習者可以共享和獲得全面性的知識，從而提高他們的學習成效。雖然先前的研究已經證明對於教育者和學生在以網路為基礎的合作學習環境有相當多的好處，但是這種學習方式仍然有一些難處。其中一個主要的困難是缺乏一個務實的方法，以協助教師在評量學生的知識獲取能力。為了解決這個問題，本研究在以網路為基礎的合作學習環境中發展了一個方法來衡量學生的知識獲取能力。本研究提出的方法包括三個功能模組：知識建構模組，知識工具模組，知識評估模組。實驗人數為102位大學二年級學生，參與在網頁程式設計課程。本研究透過使用本系統六個多星期，將系統日誌和評估結果進行了分析。實驗結果發現，本研究提出的方法不僅可以提供教師們與學生的學習回饋，也可以評估和改善學生們的學習成效。此外，研究結果指出：（1）學習者可以很容易地和有效地管理自己的學習成果。 （2）學習者可以充分參考和分享彼此的知識。 （3）學習者可以反思並了解其他學習者的學習成果和學習狀態。 （4）學習者可以從事更高層次的反思實踐。

With the rapid development of the online learning environment, web-based collaborative learning has become an important instruction mode for both teaching and learning. Most importantly, in this environment learners can share and obtain comprehensive knowledge, thus improving their learning performance. Although prior research has demonstrated learning benefits for both instructors and students in the web-based collaborative learning environment, this learning approach still has some difficulties. One of the major difficulties is the lack of a practical approach to assist teachers in evaluating the knowledge acquisition ability of all learners. To remedy this, this study develops an approach to measuring the knowledge acquisition ability of individual students in web-based collaborative learning. The proposed approach comprises three functional modules: knowledge construction module, knowledge tool module, and knowledge assessment module. The participants were 102 second-year undergraduate students attending the course of a Web Programming and Design. The system logs and assessment results were analyzed through system use over six weeks. The experimental results showed not only could the proposed approach provide instructors with learners’ learning feedback, it could also evaluate and improve their learning performance. Moreover, the results also revealed the following. (1) Learners could easily and efficiently manage their learning outcomes. (2) Learners could fully reference and share knowledge with one another. (3) Learners could reflect on and notify others of learning outcomes and learning status. (4) Learners could be more engaged in high-level reflective practices.
