我國教學資源網站內容及檢索介面之分析研究

An Analytical Study of Contents and Retrieval Interfaces of Instructional Resource Websites in Taiwan

許多教師都會利用網路找尋教學資源，網路資源雖然豐富，但品質不一，而且容易檢索到不相關的資料。除了利用搜尋引擎外，教師們也常利用教學資源網站查詢教案、教學素材等教學資源。本研究分析我國教師常用的教學資源網站，比較其內容及檢索介面。研究結果顯示，我國教學資源網站的收錄範圍、資源的評選標準、以及蒐錄過程並不明確，資源類型定義不一致。另外，教學資源網站並沒有使用共通的標準來描述資源，可能會造成使用上的不便，也會影響互通性。多數教學資源網站都提供簡易檢索及進階檢索，關鍵字是所有網站都具備的檢索功能；學習領域、資源類別、年級（或適用階段）、名稱是大部分網站會提供的檢索點。至於檢索輔助說明、檢索結果的呈現、排序等方面則有需要改善之處。

Many schoolteachers use the Internet to search for online instructional materials. The multiple search results, however, tend to be unusable, of low quality and often irrelevant. In addition to using search engines, schoolteachers also refer to instructional resource websites to browse and search for educational tools. The purpose of this study is to analyze the contents and retrieval interfaces of those websites. It was found that the scope, selection standards, and selection processes of the websites were unclear. For instance, identical types of instructional resources were named differently among the websites. Resources were described according to a variety of metadata formats, thus causing the problem of interoperability. Most websites provided a basic and advanced search, and all of them offered a keyword search. In addition, the learning field, type of resource, grade level, and title of resource were major access points found in those websites. The study suggests that help messages, display modes, and result ranking devices need to be improved.
