幼兒中文部件線上學習之創作研究

Abstract

現代的幼童是一出生即在數位科技的時代下生長。兒童使用行動裝置的趨勢不斷增長年齡層逐漸下降。行動裝置成為孩子們的主要娛樂和學習工具之一。且在教育領域，移動應用程式和教育軟件的使用也越來越普及且熱銷，許多幼童已開始使用數位學習軟體進行學習。本研究希望探討如何充分發揮行動裝置的潛力，幫孩子使用這些工具更好地學習中文。幼童發展理論可以得知發展時期扎實且有規劃的文字理解與認識，可以增進幼童在後續自主能力與閱讀能力。從幼兒部件概念發展與認字-陳惠茹之研究顯示，幼兒部件概念與其認字能力具有顯著的正相關，對中文部件概念發展愈佳，識字能力愈好。而學前兒童對中文字的視覺記憶在郭婉儀一文中指出記憶中文字的最好方法是學習字形結構，且中文字形結構帶有很多視覺訊息提示，學習字型結構對於中文字的認讀非常重要。本研究針對中文字學習的難點，藉由數位媒體的優點進行部件組字的方式教與學的設計，使學習者更易於了解中文字體的字形結構，學習者掌握規則之後在學習上更順利。研究的動機來自對中文部件結構教育和行動裝置應用在幼兒教育領域的研究缺口的識別，以及對當前科技和教育趨勢的回應。希望通過使用行動裝置引導他們更有效地進行學習，提高幼兒的認字能力。根據中文部件的識字教學和兒童數位學習的規範進行學前幼童中文部件數位學習的創作。文獻部分深入探討了幼兒教育、數位學習和中文部件識字的相關理論。透過案例分析，瞭解市場上熱門的數位學習軟體的設計特點，並研究教學現場使用線上學習平台的架構，中文部件教具的遊戲設計規劃。通過專家和家長的訪談，歸納出幼童數位學習軟體設計的重點。最終，本研究將根據分齡化的遊戲學習設計低、中、高三種不同的創作方案，提供四到五歲幼童「文字故事」模式，給予五到六歲幼童「部首部件」模式，並為七歲及以上孩童提供「字詞組合」模式。透過創作找到學齡前幼兒數位學習軟體的要點提供給業者一個參考的形式與設計方向。In the era of digital technology, modern toddlers are growing up surrounded by it. The trend of using mobile devices is gradually becoming widespread among children, serving as a primary tool for both entertainment and learning. In the field of education, mobile applications and educational software have gained popularity, with many toddlers starting to use digital learning apps. This study aims to delve into how to maximize the potential of mobile devices, assisting children in effectively utilizing these tools for learning Chinese.According to theories of child development, fostering a solid understanding of text during early childhood is crucial for enhancing autonomy and reading abilities later on. Researchindicates a positive correlation between the development of character components concepts in young children and their ability to recognize characters, with visual memory of Chinese characters playing a particularly key role. Addressing the challenges of learning Chinese characters, this study employs the advantages of digital media to design instructional methods using character components, making it easier for learners to grasp the structure of Chinese characters and thereby improving learning outcomes. The motivation for this research stems from recognizing the gap in the study of Chinese character component structure education and the application of mobile devices in early childhood education, responding to current trends in technology and education. The goal is to guide children in more effectively using mobile devices for learning and enhancing their character recognition abilities.Following the standards of character recognition instruction and digital learning for children, this study creates digital learning content for preschoolers based on Chinese character components. Through in-depth exploration of theories related to early childhood education, digital learning, and Chinese character recognition, as well as case analysis to understand the design features of popular digital learning software, the study investigates the architecture of online learning platforms and the game design of Chinese character component teaching tools. Insights from interviews with experts and parents help distill key elements in the design of digital learning software for toddlers. In conclusion, the study proposes three game-based learning scenarios tailored to different age groups:"Story Mode" for 4-5-year-olds, "Radical Components Mode" for 5-6-year-olds, and "Character and Word Combinations Mode" for 7-year-olds and above, providing a reference for developers designing digital learning software for preschoolers.
