本研究主要目的在探討同儕協助學習策略(Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies,PALS)對提升國小學習障礙學生閱讀理解之成效。研究方法採用單一受試實驗研究法中的A-B-A'設計,針對六名國小六年級學習障礙學生進行為期十週的同儕協助學習策略教學,每週兩節,每節四十分鐘。在基線期、介入期與維持期施以朗讀流暢度測驗、自編閱讀理解測驗和閱讀理解成長測驗,並將所得測驗資料以目視分析和C統計進行分析,以瞭解學生閱讀理解之成長情形。研究結果如下:(1)同儕協助學習策略對國小學習障礙學生整體閱讀理解能力,具有提升效果,但維持效果不穩定;(2)同儕協助學習策略能有效提升國小學習障礙學生於不同閱讀理解問題層次的表現,其中以提取訊息層次提升最多;(3)同儕協助學習策略對國小學習障礙學生文章朗讀流暢度,具有提升和維持效果;(4)同儕協助學習策略對國小學習障礙學生在閱讀理解能力表現,對照全國常模後均有不同程度之成長。最後,研究者依據研究結果提出教學與未來研究建議,以作為閱讀理解教學與未來研究之參考。
The main purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS) on reading comprehension for elementary school students with learning disabilities. The method was a single-subject research of A-B-A' design. Six sixth-grade students with learning disabilities were taught Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies for Ten weeks, two times a week, forty minutes a time. Tests on reading fluency test, reading comprehension test and reading comprehension grow test were carried out during baseline phase, intervention phase and maintenance phase to realize the growth of reading comprehension among six students. Analysis was based on visual analysis, C-statistic. The results are as follows: 1. Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies could improve reading comprehension for elementary school students with learning disabilities, but the maintaining effect of reading comprehension is unstable. 2. Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies could improve three levels of reading comprehension questions for elementary school students with learning disabilities, especially the extracting message level. 3. Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies could improve and maintain reading fluency for elementary school students with learning disabilities. 4. Through the implementation of Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies, there were improvements on reading comprehension ability showed in "Reading Comprehension Grow Test" for elementary school students with learning disabilities. Finally, according to the results, suggestions for reading comprehension instruction and future research are provided.
