The Digital Game-based Training System of Biomedicine Relevant Spatial Ability

因應近年來社會發展之需求，生物醫學成為國家重要發展方向之一，然而，國內對於此領域的人才培育多是從高中才開始。本研究經由文獻探討，針對生物醫學如何從小扎根，進而選擇從空間能力之培育開始著手。主因歷來許多探討多元智能理論均會論及空間能力的重要性，因為空間能力是幫助個體適應生存的一項基本能力，且研究指出，若進一步結合觀察能力將有助於學生在自然學科方面的發展，同時，眾多空間能力訓練的研究顯示，空間能力的表現可以透過訓練與練習加以改善。因此，本研究旨在發展出一款以空間能力內涵為主的動作冒險遊戲，將針對各種空間能力，導入生物醫學相關之空間視覺內容，設計出相對應的遊戲關卡，讓玩家能夠沉浸在遊戲之中，進而提升研究生物醫學時所需的觀察及空間視覺能力。從實驗結果得知，本研究所開發之遊戲確實能夠讓使用者沉浸於遊戲中，進而增加學習成效，並透過本遊戲對空間能力有更多認識，提升對於學習生物醫學的興趣。

The concepts of spatial visualization and the geometrical calculation are important elements of the multiple-intelligence development. Especially for the 5th and 6th graders, they are on a level of concrete thinking, in which their thinking may have greater flexible alternatives and begin to develop conservation concepts, including physical and spatial ability and numerical conservation. For this reason, the training of the spatial ability is imperative for students around these ages, especially for those who have interests in biomedicine or other related fields. This study aims to investigate the possibility of utilizing a digital game to improve individual’s spatial ability. The tasks of this game are designed to increase spatial ability with rotating question, visual discrimination, and visual memory with space, rotate, reverse, inference, and displacement for biomedicine related training. The experimental activities were also conducted at a primary school. The results indicate that the students’ spatial ability can be improved in the spatial digital game.
