國民小學天文設施規劃之研究－軟體規劃議題分析

面對校園中天文設施逐年增加，但卻長期缺乏相關研究可供規劃參考之問題，本研究運用現地觀察、深入訪談等方法，對26所案例國小進行調查分析。本文乃延續「從輔助教學觀點探討國民小學天文設施規劃之研究」一文，接續針對經營管理等議題進行深入探討。依據調查發現，現有學校常面對：設施維護不易及缺乏維護經費、缺乏專業師資、人力與相關培訓計畫、缺乏跨領域統整及本位課程等問題，而各問題間又相互具關連性，顯示在天文設施規劃上不應僅考量空間設備硬體，而應同時對經營管理、師資人力及課程教材等議題進行規劃。建議未來學校於規劃時應考量各類設備保養維修、更新與營運經費等需求；預先確認專業教師人力及擬定組織與培訓計畫；及藉由統整方式規劃本位課程教材，並回饋於設施空間之規劃作業上。

The size of school astronomy facilities has continued to increase. However, insufficient research exists to facilitate planning for these facilities. This project includes a site observation and interviews at 26 elementary schools. This article is the second part of the paper, ”Study of Astronomy Facility Planning to Support Education in Elementary Schools,” and it discusses deeper management and planning issues. Based on the investigation, schools usually face several problems, such as lack of sufficient funding to maintain equipment, a shortage of professional teaching resources, a lack of adequate training, and insufficient multidisciplinary integration of courses. These problems interact with each other, which means that planning for astronomy facilities should not only consider hardware but also management, teaching resources, and course materials. Based on the findings of the study, several suggestions are made. First, planning should consider the needs related to maintenance, equipment renewal, and operation costs during the planning stage. Second, teacher resources represent the key to success in school astronomy education, and these must be organized first. Third, planning and space design should integrate course materials.
