發現式教學法在語文資賦優異學生之應用

Application of Discovery Learning to Students in Language Gifted Class

教學方式的改變與調整影響著學習者的學習成效與吸收狀況。在教育制度的調整下，近年來著重於學習者之所學是否可以應用在生活中。在資賦優異教育中，期許學習者能夠運用高層次思考的能力解決問題，而發現式教學法的應用則是讓學習者透過討論以及觀察的方式來發現知識，研究者也發現這樣的教學法主要都是運用在數理科目中，並沒有被應用在人文科目裡。因此，在思索著究竟英語學科可以如何與該教學法做結合時，便假設學習者可以透過大量閱讀的方式來認識寫作結構，或許對學習者在自我表達上會更加得心應手，因此決定運用發現式教學法結合寫作教學來培養學習者之探索能力，而教學過程中也使用全英語來進行教學。

Teaching methods affect students’learning outcomes and absorption. In recent years, adjustments in the education system have been focused on applying what has been learned at school to daily life. In gifted education, students are expected to be able to use higher-order thinking skills to solve problems. Discovery learning is used to encourage students to explore knowledge through discussion and observation. It has been found that the teaching approach is mainly used in the subject like mathematics and science, but it may not be as prevalent in humanities and language subjects. Integrating extensive reading into English language education could be an approach that may enhance learners’understanding of the structure of writing and feel confident in self-expression. Therefore, the author attempted to use the combing discovery learning with wiring instruction in an all-English environment, in expectation for offering experiences that enhance exploratory skills.
