本研究目的主要在瞭解不同性別及閱讀發展幼兒在使用電子童書後,對閱讀理解力的影響。 本研究以實驗設計(experimental design),並輔以觀察紀錄進行,選定台中市某私立幼稚園中、大班幼兒共40名接受閱讀發展分級測驗,將之區分為低、中、高三組。正式實驗實施以幼兒閱聽電子童書為主,在幼兒閱聽電子童書後進行閱讀理解測驗。以幼兒之性別與閱讀發展作為自變項,閱讀理解測驗得分為依變項,以統計方法驗證本研究之假設。主要之研究發現如下: 一、幼兒之閱讀發展的表現可分為:低閱讀發展階段計有男生6人、女生3人,合計共9人;中閱讀發展階段計有男生4人、女生7人,合計共11人;低閱讀發展階段計有男生3人、女生9人,合計共12人。 二、幼兒使用電子童書之閱讀理解概況可分為:低閱讀發展幼兒在閱讀理解測驗得分為3.78;中閱讀發展幼兒閱讀理解測驗得分為5.27;高閱讀發展幼兒閱讀理解測驗得分為5.25。不同性別之幼兒在閱讀理解測驗得分則無顯著差異。 三、不同閱讀發展之幼兒在使用電子童後其閱讀理解力具有顯著差異;不同性別之幼兒在使用電子童書後其閱讀理解力無顯著差異;閱讀發展與性別沒有存在交互作用。 (一)不同閱讀發展與閱讀理解有顯著差異,中、高閱讀發展之幼兒在閱讀理解測驗得分顯著高於低閱讀發展階段之幼兒。 (二)幼兒不同性別與閱讀理解並無顯著差異。 (三)不同閱讀發展與性別對閱讀理解測驗沒有存在交互作用。 關鍵字:幼兒、電子童書、閱讀發展、閱讀理解
Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of gender and reading development on young children’s reading comprehension for using an electronic storybook. This study used experimental design and participant observation to collect data. The participants were forty young children. Before using the electronic storybook, children were divided into three groups based on the results of the reading development test. The data collected from the study were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The conclusions were listed as follows: 1. The reading development of young children can be divided into three groups: low, medium, and high. Low reading development group included six boys and three girls. Medium reading development group included four boys and seven girls. Three boys and nine girls were in the high reading development group. 2. The average reading comprehension test score of low reading development group was 3.78. The average score of medium reading development group was 5.27. As to high reading development group, the average score of reading comprehension test was 5.25. No significant difference was found in reading comprehension test scores regarding children’s gender. 3. The Differences among reading development levels of young children for using electronic storybooks on reading comprehension were significantly different. The reading comprehension test scores of children in high and medium reading development groups were significantly higher than children in low reading development group. There was no interaction between children’s reading development and gender. Keyword: young children, electronic storybooks, reading development, reading comprehension
