Moodle在日語教學及研究的應用──銘傳大學的實例

Moodle in Ming-Chuan University and its Application to Japanese Education

銘傳大學應用日語學系教師從2007年2月開始使用學校資訊網路處所建置的數位教學平台Moodle迄今已有10年的歷史。本文追溯系上教師面臨這股資訊浪潮，從克服資訊科技的焦慮到將使用Moodle變成日常教學與研究一部分的過程。首先根據事前的問卷調查，應日系教師於2007年擬定暑期Moodle實驗課程，熟悉Moodle的功能，然後申請卓越計畫提供的經費，建立題庫，成立教師專業成長社群，進行課程重構計畫。這段推廣與實作的成果，則透過二種數據檢驗。一是根據銘傳大學Moodle數位教學平台歷年數位教材建置的數據，分析應日系教師10年來所建置的數位教材中檔案、作業、測驗、討論區四大類型的量的變化。二是從應日系教師10年來所發表的與Moodle數位教材相關的29篇論文探討日語數位教學的內容，進一步探討課程與這四大教材類型之間的可能關係。結果發現，教師已經逐步克服了資訊科技的焦慮，熟悉了Moodle的使用，逐漸回歸課程本位，能夠自主評估、選擇及運用面對面課堂教學與Moodle線上學習系統的優點，混成使用於教學。

This study explained how the teachers made the Moodle as a part of teaching and research after the overcame the technology anxiety. The teachers got familiar with Moodle by designing the summer Moodle experimental courses in 2007.
