針對學童學習探討並建置互動式邏輯遊戲系統－－以傳教士與食人族問題為例

Improving Students’ Interest in Logic Learning Using an Interactive Logic Game System - a Case Study of Missionaries and Cannibals Problem

不論在日常生活中，或是在學校課程上，邏輯推理能力都是不可或缺的能力。而現今所實施的九年一貫課程標準中，更將邏輯推理在解題方法中列出，由此可見邏輯推理是一項相當重要的能力。因此，培養學童的邏輯推理能力是相當重要的，也成為目前教育的重要目標。然而提升邏輯推理能力須透過不斷的學習，因此如何有效提高學童學習邏輯推理的興趣就相當的重要。數位學習改寫傳統學習的方式，它運用科技與網路的無時差、無國界的特性，其最大的魅力為可以不受時空的限制並且可以反覆的操作。所以若是能將邏輯能力的培養與電腦學習環境做結合，將能有事半功倍的效果，讓學童能在輕鬆快樂之中學習，獲得更良好的能力培養。本研究的目的是利用邏輯遊戲數位學習系統結合無線射頻辨識(Radio Frequency Identification，RFID)技術，設計出一套能夠讓學童感到更有互動性的數位學習系統，藉以提升學童的學習興趣，進而不斷反覆練習以達提升學童的邏輯能力。

With the advance of computer technology, E-Learning provides a new studying way different from the traditional way. The advantages of E-Learning are that students can study anytime and anywhere. Consequently, the study is efficient greatly. Following the international trend, our ministry of education also regards information technology integration as the key item of educational reform. Besides, developing the ability of critical thinking and solving problems is also the focal point in the nine-year public education program at present. Therefore, applying computer learning environment in the logic ability developing can yield twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, student can study without any pressure and acquire better ability developing. The purpose of this research is to combine the E-Learning system of logic game with the wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) Technology in order to improve the students’ interest. Furthermore, it can promote the information education and cognitive skills. We invite a group of students in the elementary school for an experiment. Students can play this game with a mouse, or can play this game with the RFID equipment. The experimental result and the questionnaire show that the dynamic entity operation mode can indeed improve students’ study interest, and they would like to spend more time for study. Lastly, these students hope that the dynamic operation mode can be applied in other subjects, this fully demonstrates the efficiency of this system.
