運用穴道按摩降低學習焦慮及增進學習成效之先導研究

Pilot Study on Using Point Massage to Reduce Learning Anxiety and Improve Learning Effectiveness

過往研究顯示學習焦慮會影響學生的學習表現，但目前常見克服焦慮的方法都存在一些問題，甚至會帶來負面的影響；因此，研究者試圖將沒有副作用的穴道按摩導入教育情境使用。本研究旨在探討穴道按摩對學習焦慮及學習成效的影響，採用受試者內實驗設計，以小樣本實驗法進行，本研究招募12位大學生為實驗對象，比較無按摩即進行四位數乘三位數的數學試題計算，與進行三分鐘的百會穴按壓後，再進行數學試題計算，其學習成效是否有顯著差異。研究結果顯示，參與者在有按摩百會穴的學習成效與沒有按摩的情境下相比，其計算之正確題數，具有顯著差異（p = .039）。未來的研究若能增加實驗人數並延長測驗時間，應可加強介入的效果，並建議將此結果運用至教學現場，提升學生的學習成效。

The purpose of this research is to study the influence of acupoint massage on learning anxiety and learning effectiveness. This study recruited 12 college students as experimental subjects to compare the differences in learning with and without massage. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the number of correct questions calculated by the participants in the learning effect of the Baihui acupoint massage with and without massage (p = .039).If future research can increase the number of experimenters and extend the test time, it should be able to enhance the effect of intervention. In addition, it is also suggested that the research results should be applied to the teaching site to enhance students' learning effectiveness.
