| 摘要: | 隨著全球化影響，英語已是世界最通用的語言，也影響了目前台灣教育課程架構。單字是英語學習的基礎，但對於大多學生而言，學習英文單字的過程是枯燥乏味的，使得英語學習的興趣、信心低落，進而導致學習成效不佳。為了解決此問題，本研究開發了一套的英文單字學習系統─『英文單字樂園』（Vocabulary Paradise）。系統介面以島嶼為風格主軸，學生能藉由完成自主練習，逐漸地改變島嶼樣貌，其自主練習由練習發音、挑選錄音、練習拼字、字卡製作等步驟組成，最後學生能將其自創的字卡收藏。另外，本研究的學習活動設計納入複習機制，試圖加強學生的英文單字記憶。
本研究以桃園市某實驗教育團體的國小一年級學生為實驗對象，對學生進行四週的學習活動，並將其分成高、中、低成就組，利用魏克生符號等級檢定（Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test）將前、後測的成績進行數據分析，以探討學生英文單字學習成效。此外，本研究除了使用基於ARCS動機模式設計的自編學習活動問卷來探討學生對於學習動機和感受狀況之外，還藉由訪談學生以探討使用系統時的學習策略。實驗結果顯示，三組學生的測驗結果皆大幅進步，另外，問卷及訪談其結果皆有正向反饋，表示多數學生使用『英文單字樂園』進行英文單字學習時具有良好學習動機表現。
;With the impact of globalization, English has become the most common language in the world, thus influencing the current educational curriculum structure in Taiwan. Vocabulary is the foundation of English learning, but for most students, the process of learning English vocabulary words is boring, which leads to low interest and confidence in English learning, and also leads to poor learning results.

In addition, the learning activities of this study are designed with a review mechanism to try to strengthen the students′ memory of English vocabulary.
In this study, the first year students of primary school in an experimental education group in Taoyuan city were taken as experimental subjects and the students carry out learning activities for four weeks. In the study, the students were divided into high, middle and low achievement groups, and the scores of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, so as to explore the students′ English vocabulary learning performance. In addition, the study uses a learning activity questionnaire designed based on the ARCS motivation model to explore students′ learning motivation and feelings, and interviews students to understand their learning strategies when using the system.
The experimental results show that the test scores of the three groups of students have improved significantly. In addition, the results of the questionnaires and interviews have positive feedback, indicating that most students have good learning motivation performance when using "Vocabulary Paradise" for English vocabulary learning. |
