科技輔助直笛指法教學之研究─以自製科技直笛為例

Abstract

本研究以「電腦輔助教學」概念為基礎，並結合科技相關技術之應用，將其拓展為「科技輔助教學」，遂以高音直笛的指法教學為研究主題，自製一科技直笛，為直笛指法練習的輔助教具，搭配電腦音樂程式，透過軟硬體的交互運用，達到輔助教學之目的。 自製科技直笛係運用電子元件(微型麥克風、按鈕)、微控制器Arduino及電腦音樂程式Max/MSP製作而成，並針對指法練習設計兩大功能：一為「指法提示」功能，將高音直笛的所有音高指法列出，在使用者忘記指法時，可快速瀏覽和查詢；二為「指法偵錯」功能，使用者在曲目練習中可透過指法偵錯功能，即時發現指法的錯誤，並在正確的指法提示中更正指法。透過兩大功能的應用，達到提高使用者對直笛指法熟悉度的效果。 經本研究之測試評估後，發現自製科技直笛在「操作性」、「學習性」、「適合度」和「滿意度」四個面向中，皆有相當不錯的評價，顯示出自製科技直笛將「科技輔助教學」的概念運用得宜，具有輔助及引導學習之功能。

This study was based on the concept of “computer-assisted instruction” (called CAI), and extended the concept to reach the aim of “technology-assisted instruction”. For the purpose, the researcher designed a technical recorder as a teaching aid of the fingerings of recorder. The self-made technical recorder is composed of electronic components, micro controller “Arduino” and computer music program “Max/MSP”. Furthermore, in the software design, there are two main functions for users to practice. One is the fingering prompt. It includes all fingerings of recorder, and it can let users to look up quickly when they forget the fingerings. Another is the fingering debug. It can help users find the errors of their fingerings and correct the mistakes immediately in the etude practice. Through the application of the hardware and software, users can reinforce the memorability of the fingerings of recorder. After the test and estimate of music education experts, teachers and students, the self-made technical recorder has great effects on the parts of maneuverability, learnability, suitability and satisfaction. This shows the self-made technical recorder not only can assist instruction and guide users to learn the fingerings of recorder, but also reach the aim of this study- “technology-assisted instruction”.
