本研究採內容分析法分析國小數學教科書之插圖設計,旨在分析目前使用率前三高的N、H、K版本插圖之功能類別,及評析插圖設計之缺失,並進一步提出可能的改進方向。本研究以J.R.Levin的插圖分類理論,及R.E.Mayer的多媒體學習認知理論與教材設計原則為基礎,探討三個版本不同插圖功能類別之數量、篇幅及插圖設計之缺失。綜合本研究結果,提出下列結論: 一、表徵類插圖在數量及篇幅比率最高,詮釋類居次,轉化類插圖最低。 二、各版本內的比較,表徵類與詮釋性插圖不管在數量上或篇幅上,此兩類的比 率合計超過七成。 三、各版本間的比較,具有表徵類布題的插圖量由K版本領先,H版則是在詮釋性 的解題插圖量上較具優勢。 四、各版本在不同插圖功能分類之比率上有差異,在插圖缺失之比率上也有差異。 五、K版本插圖設計較符合多媒體教材設計原則,但仍有改進的空間。 本研究根據上述結論,對教科書插圖之設計及後續研究提出相關建議。 關鍵字:數學教科書、插圖、內容分析、多媒體學習認知理論
This study adopts the content analysis method and analyzes mathematics textbook illustration design for elementary school fourth-grader students. It aims to analyze the functions of illustrations of the most widely used versions N, H and K and assess illustration design for possible latent drawbacks on the mathematics textbook. It further suggests possible directions for improvements. In this study, J. R. Levin’s illustrations classification theory and R. E. Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning and teaching materials design principles are applied. The study investigates the frequency, coverage and deficiency in design for each functional category of illustrations in the three versions. Comprehensive results of this study made the following conclusions: First, with regard to the frequency and coverage of illustrations, representational illustrations have the highest ratios, interpretive illustrations second, and transformational illustrations have the lowest. Second, within each version, the ratio of representational and interpretive illustrations regardless of the number or length of text, aggregate to more than 70%. Third, for comparison among versions, K version has more representational illustration than others. And H version is more effective on the interpretive illustrations. Fourth, there are differences in various versions of the ratio of the functional classification of illustration, and there are differences in the ratio of illustration deficiency. Fifth, K version illustration design is more in accordance with multimedia teaching design principles, but there are still contents for improvement. According to the conclusions of this study, several suggestions on textbook illustration design and future studies are addressed. Key words:Mathematics textbook, illustration, content analysis, cognitive theory of multimedia learning.
