摘要

本研究旨在探討改善重度弱視學生使用功能性視覺能力之成效。本研究以質性研究方法進行，研究設計包括：觀察、功能性視覺評估、功能性視覺訓練之教學活動、非正式訪談，與半結構式訪談。研究對象為國小一年級重度弱視學生，研究參與者則包括學生的班級導師、科任教師、資源班教師、實習教師、家長與學校義工。研究結果顯示，為改善學生學生之功能性視覺能力，教學策略之調整應包含：多次不同情境中實施功能性視覺評估、住家物理環境之評估與改善、學校人文與物理環境之評估改善與輔具之提供，以及團隊合作式的教學策略調整。本研究結果亦發現，藉由上述多元管道之介入策略，學生功能性視覺使用習慣與效率有明顯改善，其他能力如自我情緒控制與人際互動方面亦有所進步。同時，老師與家長也表達出其自身的進步與轉變。文末亦針對未來研究提出建議。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a functional vision training program. The research methods consisted of informal observation, functional vision evaluation, informal interviews and semi-structured interviews. The participants included a first grader with severe visual impairment, the advisor of the student, the three teachers, the parents and a volunteer. The functional vision training program adopted co-teaching approach by having multiple functional vision evaluations, adapting the students' home and school environments, designing and modifying the curricula, and providing teachers with the use of assistive technology (AT) devices. The findings indicated that the student's functional vision and its efficiency were improved. In addition, the student also made improvements with regard to: Control of own emotion and social interaction, and making good use of residual vision. By the way, teachers and the parents reported their improved competency in educating and interacting with the child. Finally, suggestions for future studies were provided.
