  • 近來網路逐漸成為教師在備課過程中主要的搜尋資料來源,因此本研究探討台灣國小教師在使用網路資訊進行備課時的網路知識觀、資訊判斷自我效能、網路資訊判準與網路搜尋行為。本研究分為兩部分進行,第一部分由479位國小教師填寫網路知識觀、資訊判斷自我效能與網路資訊判準等三份量化的問卷,藉以暸解國小教師在網路上搜尋備課資料時的網路知識觀、資訊判斷自我效能與網路資訊判準及其三者之間的相互關係,並深入探討資訊判斷自我效能在此關係中的角色。
    第二部分則挑選20位具代表性的教師進行30分鐘的實際搜尋任務。任務以「基因改造食物」為主題,從網路上搜尋資料後完成教材簡報,全程使用視窗桌面錄影程式錄下全部搜尋歷程。從搜尋任務的影片分析出網路搜尋行為模式,並比較不同自我效能與不同網路知識觀的教師在網路搜尋行為模式之差異。最後,以搜尋任務中所製作的教材簡報作為依據進行訪談,藉以了解教師在選擇資訊時的判斷標準與常見之搜尋行為。
    主要研究結果發現,小學教師在網路知識觀的「不確定性」、「複雜性」與「自我來源性」的分數較低,在「判斷性」上的得分較高。代表小學教師認為網路是一個能提供正確且詳細資訊的知識來源,但在接受網路上的知識之前必須要仔細檢驗。另外,他們不僅具備較高的資訊判斷自我效能,同時也傾向採用多元混合的資訊判斷標準和綜合推論的搜尋策略。
    從模式競爭的結果中發現,資訊判斷自我效能在網路知識觀和網路判準之間扮演著部分中介的角色。而後續的路徑分析顯示傾向認為網路上擁有較正確知識的教師較常使用權威與社會性訊息作為判斷正確與否的標準;而網路資訊的技術性特徵也會影響小學教師決定其是否有用的關鍵準則。同時,傾向認為網路訊息需要驗證才能接受的教師擁有較高的資訊判斷自我效能,也偏向運用多種資訊判準;擁有較高的資訊判斷自我效能的教師同樣偏向運用多種資訊判準。
    而從教師的實際搜尋任務的行為分析與訪談結果中可以比較出不同自我效能和不同知識觀的教師在網路搜尋行為上的差異,高自我效能的教師能使用精熟的搜尋技巧,能比較不同網站的資訊之後,再自行編輯出教材內容。而低自我效能的教師則是太過依賴搜尋引擎所提供的教學資訊,甚至未曾網路資訊的真假,而且編輯教材的行為主要以剪貼網站的內文再編輯。擁有成熟知識觀的教師則是在搜尋引擎與搜尋結果中持續搜尋多元資料,而擁有較不成熟的網路知識觀的教師同樣有以剪貼為主的編輯行為。


    Recently, the Internet has become the main source when teachers searching information for teaching. This study investigated Taiwanese elementary school teachers’ Internet-specific epistemic beliefs (ISEB), source evaluation self-efficacy (SESE), information commitments (ICs), and their searching behaviors when they searching online information for instruction. The current study contained two parts. In the first part, quantitative data were collected from 479 elementary school teachers by utilizing three self-reported instruments: Internet-specific epistemic beliefs questionnaire (ISEQ), source evaluation self-efficacy survey (SESES), and information commitments survey (ICS). The results found that the teachers tended to believe that the Internet contains certain and detailed specific information, and they also held the beliefs about the online information should be justified. Moreover, the interplay among the three construct were explored. The results of SEM competing models revealed that the teachers’ SESE played as a partial mediator on their interrelations between the ISEB and ICs.
    In the following path analysis, the teachers who tended to believe that the Internet contains accurate knowledge preferred to adopt information from authoritative and social networking websites. Except content of the information, the technical factors were also crucial issues for the teachers when they considered the usefulness of online information. The teachers’ justification of knowing played an important role on their SESE and ICs. Moreover, the higher SESE the teachers had, the more advance ICs they possessed.
    The second part of the study invited 20 representative participants based on their score of the SESES. Two groups (high SESE group and low SESE group) contains 10 participants respectively. The participants were required to conduct a practical searching task. They made an instructional slide for 10-minutes short talk about the topic of genetically modified food by searching the information on the Internet. The searching processes were video-recorded and transcribed into behaviors codes. The results of lag sequential analysis and interview revealed that High SESE teachers possessed experienced searching skills, and tended to compare the accuracy of information from different websites. On the contrary, the Low SESE teachers mainly surfed the websites suggested by search engine, and even without question the credibility of online information. Their instructional slides mainly came from their copying and pasting from the Internet. Meanwhile, the teachers with mature ISEB tended to search instructional information from multiple sources, while the teachers with less mature ISEB also preferred to adopt “copy and paste” strategy to make their instructional slides.
