碩士 === 淡江大學 === 教育科技學系碩士在職專班 === 97 === The primary purpose of this study is to develop the current status of the Information Technology Education competence indicators at elementary school , and to draw hierarchy attributes of the leanning map based on investigating the priority relation between any two indicators in learning order. First,using framework of “Taiwanese Key Competencies” which focus on 27 indicators of the “Grade 1-9 Curriculum Competence Indicators or Benchmarks of Information Technology Education”. After three surveys using Delphi technique on experts’ opinions 24 competence indicators were generalized under 4 sections, 8 categories, and 21 standards which the author concluded from 8 categories. Secondly, using Questionnaire Survey to conclud the priority relation between any two indicators, and then using “Interpretive Structure Modeling” to compile a semi-structural questionnaire. According to the result of questionnaire, to draw hierarchical attributes of the leanning map based on Information Technology Education competence indicators of elementary school. This study apply the result of local theory “Taiwanese key competencies” to integrate, and then to update “Grade 1-9 Curriculum Competence Indicators of Information Technology Education”. Not only did the study conform to the Core framework based on Core Competence established by Ministry of Education for being the principles of adjusting school curriculum and teaching materials,but also we expect that scholars and practitioners provide their experiences and opnions which can incorporate both theory and practice of this study to achieve the goal of Grade 1-9 Curriculum education reform and to futher accomplish the vision of “for a successful life and a well-functioning society” in the future. The results were as follows: A. To develop the current status of the Information Competence indicators for elementary school students based on Taiwanese Key Competencies. B. To clarify the correlativity between any two Information Competence indicators’ priority in learning order. C. To draw hierarchical structures of attribute in the leanning map based on Taiwanese Key Competencies at elementary school. The suggestions were made as follows: A. Suggestions for solving the study’s probleam 1. The study suggestion futhur search can use either three sections which concluded by expert conference in North and South areas, or combine with the framework of Key Competencies of「Key Competencies’ Overarching educational studies」which was used by this research. 2. The study administered three times by adapting Delphi technique. Suggest that the futher research should use symposium and expert conference to clarify the different opnions among experts. 3. Suggest use expert interview instead of questionnaire investigate which was the second part of the study. 4. Some student’s information competence indicators can’t be discriminated from grade 3~6 learning areas; Cross-grades learning or discontinuing can be found. Therefore, information competence indicators should be more specific or overall considering. Besides, this study suggests that administer Basic Competency Test or Remendial Instructions program to improve“M-shape Society” phenomenon in student’s information competence of elementary schools. 5. The futher research should continue to investigate into survey research of student’s information competence of elementary schools in order to understand wheather Information Teachers achieve a significance level on student’s information competence of elementary schools or not. B. Suggestions on applying this study 1. Set up Resource network and learning community web base on Student’s information competence indicators which constructed by this research can be used for student’s preparation. 2. Student’s information competence indicators constructed by the research can be used for student’s evaluation, and information competence checklist. Also, it can test on the current condition of student’s information competence regularly. 3. Student’s information competence indicators constructed by the research can be developed the elementary school Academic Forums and built up certification.
