電腦支援問答競爭學習遊戲設計之探索 Exploring the Design of Computer Supported Question-and- Answering Competitions Exercise Game 王千濤, 張立杰, 楊接期, 陳德懷 台灣中央大學資訊工程研究所 台灣省桃園縣320中壢市五權里一鄰38號 TEL：+886-3-4227151 ext 7860 FAX：+886-3-427-3041 tau@.tw 許多研究者認為，競爭式的學習活動可以增加學習者的學習動機及學習成效。但也有研究者指出，在競爭活動的過程中，可能會對學習者產生負面的影響。在此為了要降低競爭學習活動對學習者的負面影響，所以作者採用”遊戲”的方式進行競爭活動。本研究建構一個以問答練習遊戲為主體的練習環境，學習者(們)可以在其中進行遊戲比賽。本研究想探討學習者對於三項變因的反應，三項的變因如下：1)競爭者為電腦模擬的代理人、單一位學習者或是一個團體。2)是否與競爭對手面對面。3)競爭強度不同的答題模式。由於這些變因使得本研究發展出的練習環境中有八種競爭模式及兩種答題模式。實驗結果發現：1)大部分的學習者較喜歡用競爭程度較強的方式來進行遊戲。2)比較傾向於自己一個人一組，能夠主導遊戲的進行而不受其他人的干擾。3)學習者覺得與對手面對面會使遊戲更有趣。4)非面對面競爭可以較專心思考問題，不受到競爭對手的干擾。 關鍵字：棋盤式問答遊戲、競爭模式、教育代理人 Many researchers consider that the competitive activities can increase the learners’ learning motivation and performance. But there are some researchers think that it may have some bad influence during the competitive progress. In order to reduce the bad effect, which is produced from the competitive activities, we proceed the competitive activities with the game style. This study had constructed a learning environment, which is a Question-and-Answering game with the style of board games, and learners could compete with other learners in it. The researchers want to explore the learners’ reactions about the factors. 1) The different kinds of competitors. 2) The competition with face-to-fact or via Internet. 3) The different answering modes. Therefore, there are eight kinds of competition modes and two kinds of answering modes in the learning environment. We discover that most of learners prefer to play games with the keen answering mode, tend to play the game alone and control the progress of the game completely. Besides, learners feel that the game is more interesting if the competition is with face-to-face. The learners can answer the question wholeheartedly within non face-to-face competition.
