本研究以行動研究方式根據5E教學環之架構發展針對國小一年級學生為主要對象以光為主題的教學活動,研究者即為教學活動之執行者,教學成效的評量乃根據以下各項資料進行評估:教學實況錄影、配合5E學習環所設計的五單元之學習單、後測及延宕測以及學生訪談等資料;結果顯示5E教學環有效提升一年級學童的參與度,對於自然相關課程設計確有幫助,學習環中的「投入」階段有助於年齡處於皮亞傑認知發展論中具體操作階段的學童體驗科學現象;學習小組成員間的互動可有助於「探索」階段教學活動之推動,「精緻化」階段中學習重點的回顧可增進並延續學習成效;「解釋」及「評量」兩階段中言語的表達與專有名詞的運用特別需要注意,以免阻礙學童的回應甚而影響學習成效,這個結果顯示在對低年級學童進行科學教學的過程中語言的使用是具有關鍵性的影響。經由行動研究的過程,研究者獲致了教學活動設計能力、教學能力和研究能力的教師專業成長。
The purpose of this action research approach is to adapt the 5E learning cycle strategy to develop a teaching activity for the first graders in a primary school in central Taiwan in learning the scientific concept of “light”. The researcher is the executor who carried on the teaching process of this action research. Evaluation of the learning effect is based on the following documents: live teaching video, five learning sheets corresponding to the five stages in 5E module, post-test, delayed-test and interview. Results indicated that the 5E learning cycle is helpful in designing a scientific teaching activity that could stimulate the participation of the first grade students. The “Engagement stage” could effectively guide the students in the concrete operational stage, according to Piaget’s cognitive development theory, to experience scientific phenomenon. Interaction among team members promotes the learning process in the “Exploration stage”. Review of the learning topics is important in “Elaboration stage” which could keep the learning effectiveness for a longer period. Wording and use of terminology should be careful especially in both “Explanation” and “Evaluation” stages, which could impede the student’s response and affect the outcome of evaluation. This result indicates that “expression” is a critical point in introducing scientific concept to the first graders. Through this process researcher acquired the ability in designing a scientific course for the first graders, got experience in improving teaching methods and enhanced research capability.
