國中學生接受探索教育活動對其問題解決能力成效之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探究探索教育活動對培養學生問題解決能力的效益，採準實驗研究設計，以標準化測驗之統計分析為主要研究結果，並且輔以問卷、紀錄等質性資料作為參考。研究樣本為台北縣精誠國中（化名）九十八學年度國一學生70位。在量化研究部分，研究工具為「新編問題解決測驗」，所得資料以spss12.0進行統計分析，以瞭解國中學生接受探索教育活動後在問題解決能力的增進情形，及分析不同背景的國中學生接受探索教育活動影響的差異。在質化研究部分，研究工具為「探索教育課程回饋問卷」及「教學省思扎記」，以反應學生對探索教育活動的感受經驗，及檢討教師的教學得失。 本研究獲致下列四項結論： 1.探索教育活動對增進國中生的預防問題能力有顯著進步，但對整體問題解決能力、界定原因能力、解決方法能力則效果不明顯。 2.探索教育活動對增進男生的問題解決能力有顯著成效，但對增進女生的問題解決能力則效果不明顯；探索教育活動的成效不因學生學業成績、智力不同而有顯著差異。 3.國中學生對探索教育活動的感受傾向積極與正向的經驗；探索教育活動對增進學生的問題解決技能與團體互動技巧有幫助。 4.教師實施探索教育活動有助於教學專業成長；教師可以運用問題解決步驟處理教學活動的掌控與課程準備的問題。
