國小學童傳播科技課程規劃及成效之探討

The Discussion on the Curriculum Planning of Communication and Technology in Primary School and Its Effect

小學階段的科技教育課程，在國民中小學九年一貫課程的架構下，大致可分為「傳播科技、生物科技、製造科技、營建科技、及運輸科技」等，因各學校普遍缺乏適當的教學資源，多以注入各科的方式，實施小學科技教育。不過，近年來國小學生利用假期到校外參加研習活動的人數越來越多，而各社教機構也紛紛推出研習營，藉由研習活動的推廣，引導學生利用閒暇參加學習活動，尤其科技研習活動，更可以充分滿足學生對科技認知與好奇的需求。本研究旨在利用文獻探討國小階段學習傳播科技課程的重要性及其內涵，並藉由參與國立科學工藝博物館（以下簡稱科工館）舉辦「廣播與電視節目夏令營」活動的國小學童進行焦點團體訪問，檢視該課程學童對傳播科技基本理念的認知，嘗試建立科工館的傳播科技課程項目，及探討是否達到傳遞科技教育的功能？進而提出相關建議，做為我國各博物館未來設計相關活動課程之參考。

Under the framework of the nine-year curriculum system in primary schools, the curriculum of science education can be categorized into ' communication science and technology, the science and technology of biology, the science and technology of manufacturing, the science and technology of construction' and so on. Due to insufficient and inappropriate teaching resources, primary schools tend to conduct science education on subject base. In recent years, however, more and more primary school students participate in off campus learning activities during holidays and each social and educational institute is gradually organizing learning camps to help students to learn, especially science and technological subjects. By doing so, students' curiosity will be satisfied and the understanding of science and technology will be promoted. The purpose of this study is to discuss the importance and content of learning a communication and technology curriculum in primary schools through literature review. We conducted group interviews with primary school students who joined the 'Broadcasting and TV Program Summer Camp' sponsored by the National Science and Technology Museum and looked at students' understanding of basic communication and technology principles. We tried to develop the communication and technology curriculum in the museum and discussed whether the educational function was fulfilled. As a result, we proposed several suggestions for future reference.
