Summary:博士 === 國立臺南大學 === 數位學習科技學系碩博士班 === 105 === Although digital media literacy is recognized as the essential competencies required for living in a new media age, it just starts to gain focus in Taiwan's elementary education. One of the reasons is examination-oriented education, with the result that diverts scarce resources away from this “informal” learning that is seen as an unnecessary frill. Another reason is that educators generally tend to think digital media education as a series of purely technical operation, which might lead students’ digital media learning to mindless work. Therefore, the research in this paper addresses how to enhance students’ digital media literacy by designing media exhibition based on Kolb's experiential learning model for teaching them concepts of stop-motion and techniques of stop-motion film production. A design experiment involved 247 third-grade elementary students that were grouped to visit four stalls of the experiential exhibition around the theme of stop-motion techniques and film production. The findings will suggest how the students have improved their knowledge of stop-motion films after visiting the exhibition. Analysis of these produced stop-motion films will also show that they have improved their media ability to represent their ideas and communicate with others. Through the analysis of influence of demographics on the knowledge test about stop- motion, we believe that the proposed experiential exhibition is a promising way to carry out digital media education in elementary schools.
