從教育美學觀點探究整合STEAM學科的數學教育實踐

An Exploration for Practice of Mathematics Education Based on STEAM from Perspective of Educational Aesthetics

有鑑於整合科學、科技、工程、藝術與數學的STEAM教育研究對數學學習關注較為不足，數學教育的美感與價值亦具其深入研究的需要，本研究即統整STEAM教育與教育美學文獻，結合專業繪圖軟體「Adobe Illustrator」作教學設計之規劃，為一所國民中學27位九年級學生實施行動研究，以探索整合STEAM學科的數學教育之可能性與教學效果。研究發現美學導向的STEAM教育數學教學，其可能性反映在科技軟體、生活實例與藝術設計的有效整合，帶來增進學生數學觀念分析、應用、溝通，及提升學習興趣之效果；學生學習數學之詮釋的轉變反映在提升其對數學價值的態度，依據研究發現提出STEAM教育實踐的具體建議。

Since mathematics learning effectiveness has been less concerned from researches of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math¬ematics ) education, and there exist more requirements for investigation of aesthetics and values in mathematics education, an action research was implemented with“Adobe Illustrator”the drawing software for 27 9-grade students based on literature review for STEAM education and Educa¬tional Aesthetics to explore potential and effectiveness of mathematics education integrated with STEAM disciplines. Findings indicated that Aesthetics-oriented mathematics education based on STEAM has poten¬tial for integration of software, living examples and art-design; abilities for mathematics conception analysis, application, communication, and learning interests is enhanced; students’interpretation for mathematics learning reflect a change in sense of mathematics values. Recommenda¬tions based on research findings for STEAM education were proposed.
