本研究主要是在探討現行國中自然與生活科技教科書知識表徵分佈的情形,以及學生對這些不同知識表徵的呈現,其課文閱讀理解的情形又是如何,是否會有不同的影響。根據研究的目的,共分為兩階段來進行,第一階段是內容分析,本研究依據Paivio的主張,將知識表徵分成「語文表徵」和「視覺表徵」兩大類,而「語文表徵」又細分為概念陳述、例子(正向和負向)和類比,「視覺表徵」則分成示意圖、實物圖、類比和表格,接著,再針對國中自然與生活科技教科書中生物知識的部分作知識表徵的分析;第二階段是依據第一階段的分析結果設計問卷,讓學生閱讀以不同知識表徵呈現的文本之後,詢問其理解的情形,接著,抽選學生進行個別晤談,以期瞭解學生對於使用不同知識表徵文本的閱讀的歷程以及可能產生異同的因素。
研究的第一階段主要是以三個版本的國中自然與生活科技教科書生物知識中的「循環系統」、「神經系統」和「消化系統」為分析的對象,第二階段則是以抽取總共290位學生來進行施測。關於教科書分析方面,研究結果指出,各版本的概念陳述表徵佔了大約六成至七成,其餘的三成至四成當中,以視覺表徵中的示意圖以及語文表徵的正向例子為主。不管是哪一個版本,語文表徵的負向例子都甚為缺乏。將生物知識予以分類並個別分析,發現功能性知識所使用的知識表徵種類較構造性知識為多。
關於學生的課文閱讀理解方面,經由第二階段的研究結果發現,文本之中加入視覺表徵有利於學生的課文閱讀理解,對於閱讀理解能力較低的學生,視覺表徵可以幫助他們心智模型的建立,對閱讀理解能力較高的學生,則有助於修正或增強由閱讀語文表徵所形成的心智模型;若只閱讀語文表徵,增加例子或類比表徵,因為閱讀理解能力高的學生能推理出這些表徵和概念陳述表徵之間的關係,所以有助於他們的理解,對於低閱讀理解能力的學生來說,他們能夠裡例子或類比表徵,但無法和概念陳述表徵相連結;至於視覺表徵內的比較中發現,文本中增加示意圖比加入實物圖也有利於學生的理解。藉由本研究的結果可提供教材編寫、教師教學時的參考。
The purposes of this study were to explore : (1) the distribution of any knowledge representation in science textbooks, and (2) student reading comprehension while reading text that uses different knowledge representation. According to the purposes mentioned above, the research was divided into two steps.
The first step involved a content analysis. The knowledge representations were divided into two categories: verbal representation, visual representation. The verbal knowledge representation component contained three parts. They were conceptual description, examples--both positive and negative--and analogies. The visual representation component contained four parts. They were making diagrams, pictures, analogies and charts. Then biological knowledge in textbooks was analyzed.
In the second step, a questionnaire was distributed and collected and interviews were conducted in order to explore student reading comprehension after they read different texts having different knowledge representation.
With regard to the content analysis, three biological topics were analyzed in three separate textbooks. These topics included the circulatory system, the nervous system, and the digestive system. It was found that there was a 60-70 percent knowledge representation of conceptual description in any textbook. The remaining 30-40 percent were primarily diagrams of visual representation and positive examples of verbal representation. Regardless of which textbook, all three contained very few verbal examples of negative verbal representation. Conversely, there was more varied knowledge representation in functional knowledge than in structural knowledge.
The findings for the second step showed that most students had more comprehension when there was visual representation. For low reading ability students, visual representation helped them successfully construct mental models. For students with high reading abilities, visual representation helped them further develop and/or reinforce mental models. When only reading verbal representation were added to examples or analogies, high reading ability students benefited, but low reading ability students did not.
Lastly, students had higher text comprehension when they were shown diagrams instead of pictures. The result of this study could provide helpful suggestions for teachers and textbook authors.
