| 摘要: | 運用網路搜尋資訊與人口高齡化已是世界趨勢，而中高齡族群也逐漸意識到上網的需求，雖然手寫輸入法已成中文輸入法選項之一，然而本地的公共場所之電腦設備，仍以注音輸入法為主要選項，因此對此族群而言，進入資訊殿堂連結網路世界之關鍵為注音輸入法。但普通電腦培訓課程，並不教授注音輸入法。無論對母語者或是外籍人士而言，注音符號都是一種抽象的符號系統。本研究以參加臺北市立圖書館總館所開設「繪本帶讀暨ㄅㄆㄇ正音班」的十二名學習者為研究對象，經過一輪八週的先導研究後，再根據現有有關注音符號教學及電腦教學的理論框架，以系統化教學設計模式―ADDIE模式，先以問卷調查法及注音符號能力檢核分析學員之需求，再經由訪談補充問卷無法取得的更深層資訊，最後設計發展一套適合中高齡母語學習者的注音符號課程，以提昇他們注音符號認讀、拼讀及聽寫，以及注音符號輸入的能力，將注音符號與注音輸入法中失落的環扣串聯起來。研究結果指出，本研究族群經過研究課程，不僅在注音符號認讀、拼讀及聽寫，以及注音符號輸入的能力之後測成績皆大幅進步，同時學員受到本研究課程的啟發，增強了此族群在這個年齡的學習信心，認為自己甚至有能力去學習另外一種外語。期望本研究不僅能提供日後相關研究與教學之參考，同時也能喚起政府對此類有關注音符號課程的需求，以及對中高齡者繼續教育之重視。
The use of internet and an ageing population are two global trends. While the handwriting input method has become one of the options with the rise of tablet computers, the main input method for the computers in public places is still the Bopomofo method. However, the computer training programs for elderly generally do not incorporate Bopomofo input method in their courses, even though knowing this method is the key to access and search for the information on the web. Bopomofo, for both native and non-native speakers of Chinese, is an abstract symbol system. A total of 12 elder native speakers of Chinese, who originally took a “Learning Bopomofo through picture books” organized by the Taipei Public Library, participated in this study, which was based on the ADDIE approach and the frameworks for teaching Bopomofo and computer training. We first conducted an 8-week pilot study. We then used questionnaires, interviews, and a Bopomofo proficiency test to analyze learners’ needs, and developed an appropriate Bopomofo course to teach this group of learners how to read, spell, and use Bopomofo as an input method for typing Chinese characters. The reserach results indicated that this course not only significantly increased the learners proficiency in reading, spelling, and using Bopomofo as an input method for typing Chinese characters , but also enhanced their self-confidence for acquring other knowledge , including a foreign language. We hope that the results of this study provide useful references for future related research and teaching application, as well as for the attention and concerns the elderly deserves for their continuing intellectual development. |
