國小班級網站互動性功能分析以及案例設計研究—以桃園縣國民小學為例

Abstract

本研究的主要目分為三部份，首先探討互動性意涵並將互動性功能進行歸納，以統整出國小網站的互動性功能類目；第二個目的是以互動性功能類目針對桃園縣國小班級網站進行內容分析，從而了解目前國小班級網站的建置現況及互動性功能分布情形；第三個目的是利用研究者建立的互動性功能類目，以研究者服務的學校為個案，進行實際的案例設計、在校內建置、教育訓練與推行，最後以問卷請教師為班級網站系統做評估，了解教師對於網站於易用性程度及網站互動性功能的重要性需求，冀望能為國小班級網站建置系統提出一套具體的設計架構及參考。

在互動性類目的建構上，本研究共歸納出8大類22項互動性類目，對桃園縣國民小學的班級網站進行內容分析，結果發現： 一、有五分之一的學校沒有建置班級網站，顯示有許多學校仍未重視。 二、全縣互動性類目的採用比例僅達43%，仍有待加強。 三、建置工具以自由軟體比例最高，但商業網站所提供的程式互動性最高。 四、鄉鎮比城市的互動性要高，但大型學校仍具有一定優勢。 五、各年級的表現以五年級最好，而六年級最差。 六、互動性功能以「相關資源連結」類型的採用比例最高，而「娛樂功能」類型的採用數最低。

在案例設計上，本研究以PHP+MySQL以互動性功能類目，進行班級網站建置系統的建置，經使用者評估結果，發現： 一、教師對整體班網系統感到滿意。 二、教師均對系統的互動性功能的易用性及重要性表示同意。 三、教師最常維護的功能為「親師留言板」、「親師聯絡簿」、「教學檔案區」及「活動照片」。 四、教師喜歡班級系統的最大原因為「介面易於操作」、「易於管理維護」、「易於師生互動」。

There are three main purposes in this thesis: In the first case, we studied the meaning of interactivity and probed the interactivity function for categorizing the categories and the items of elementary school website. The second step, we started to explore elementary schools’ class websites with content analysis, to find out how the class websites been constructed, and the frequency of the interactivity functions in them. The third purpose is to study a case design in our school, building an interactive class website in PHP with those categories and items. For popularizing the website constructing system, after finishing the project we also tried to train and teach teachers how to use. At the last step, we invited teachers to evaluate the website constructing system with questionnaires in order to let us understanding the usability and the importance of the interactivity functions of the website. We hop we could build a practical design framework and give a good suggestion on the class website design.

We generalized 8 categories and 22 items from the related literature review to explore elementary school’s class websites with content analysis, the results shows below:

1. There were about one-fifth schools that barely construct their class website. 2. The percentage of using the interactivity functions in the class website was only up to 43%, it is still weak. 3. The most of the ways that teachers used in building their website was freeware, but the commercial website got the highest score in interactivity function. 4. Villages and small towns were better than the city, but the large-sized schools still possessed the superiority in interactivity functions presentation. 5. Fifth grade was the best, but sixth grade was the worst. 6. The frequency of Related Information Linking Function was up to the first, but Recreation Function got the last.

As for the case design, we programmed the class constructing website system in PHP and MySQL according to 8 categories and 22 items. After teachers’ evaluating for the website we got the results below:

1. Teachers were satisfied with the class constructing website system for the most part. 2. Teachers all approved the usability and the importance of the class constructing website system. 3. Teachers usually maintain “Guest Book”, “Communication Book”,” File folders” and “Photo album”. 4. The reasons why teachers like using the class constructing website system were “Interface is easy to use”, “Easy to maintain” and “Easy to communicate”.
