即時反饋系統對國小高年級自閉症學童閱讀理解之成效

Exploring the Effects of Kahoot! on Reading Comprehension for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

自閉症學生因社會認知、固著行為與注意力等特質，以致在閱讀理解上常面臨困難與個別差異。本研究以Kahoot!融入閱讀理解教學，採單一個案研究法中的A—B—M設計，對象為兩位六年級自閉症學生。透過基線期掌握其起點能力，介入期使用Kahoot!進行介入，並於維持期觀察介入後的維持表現，最後進行個別訪談以了解學生對Kahoot!的感受。研究結果顯示，透過Kahoot!的輔助，有助提升學生在整體與各層次閱讀理解表現，尤以「比較評估」層次提升最明顯。儘管維持成效因學生認知差異有所不同，但兩位學生皆對Kahoot!教學表達正向回饋，本研究據此提出相關教學與研究建議，以供未來教學及研究之參考。

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Kahoot! on the reading comprehension of students with autism. Two sixth-grade students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participated in the study. The single-subject experimental design (A-B-M) was employed, and the semi-structured interview was used to explore the ASD students' feedback on Kahoot! and to understand their views on this educational program.
Quantitative data were collected using the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) reading comprehension tests. Since the single-subject experimental design was used, quantitative data were collected based on three periods: baseline, intervention, and maintenance, and these data were analyzed by visual inspection to examine immediate and maintenance effects. The qualitative data were driven from the semi-structured interviews conducted after the experiment. The ASD students' viewpoints and feelings about using Kahoot! to assist reading comprehension were summarized.
The major results were as follows:
(1) Kahoot! had immediate effects on PIRLS reading comprehension for high-grade elementary ASD students.
(2) Kahoot! improved every PIRLS reading comprehension level, especially ''Evaluate and critique content and text elements.''
(3) The maintenance effects of Kahoot! on PIRLS reading comprehension in ASD students were subject to individual differences in cognitive abilities.
(4) High-grade elementary ASD students demonstrate a positive perception and emotional response to the instructional intervention of Kahoot!
Based on the research results and conclusions, the researcher proposes practical and useful recommendations for future educational practices and studies.
