Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺中教育大學 === 自然科學教育學系碩士班 === 94 === The purpose of this study is to develop an item bank of preventive disaster education for first to ninth grade students and to design an applicable computer system for the item bank. There were 3 parts of the scales: the first stage scale is for the 1-3 grade students; the second stage scale is for the 4-6 grades; and the third stage scale is for the 7-9grades. Every stage scale is including the knowledge of disaster prevention questionnaire, and the attitude towards disaster prevention questionnaire. 90 students were selected as the pilot studying objects for the first stage scale, which were third grade of primary school in Taichung city. Another group was selected for the third stage scale, which were 88 third grade students of junior high school in Taichung country. For the second stage scale, 397 sixth grade students were selected, which was sampling from the public primary schools in Taiwan middle area. To assess the applicable computer system for the item bank, an interview was designed. There were twelve teachers had appraise the item bank application system by interview, who were teaching in primary/junior high schools. There were two main works: one is the scale of preventive disaster education has been developed, the other is there was good acceptability for the item bank applicable computer system. There were 125 questions in the scale of the first stage. The item reviewers think most of the questions were too difficult for the 1-3 grade students, so they suggest that we should reconstruct the expert reliability after revising the paper content and then conduct the pre-testing analysis. On account of the timing, the scale of the third stage, 249 questions, has not been tested yet after its expert reliability is established. In the scale of second stage, there were 191 questions about the disaster prevention knowledge scale, which withρKR20 above 0.94. There were 65 questions in the attitude towards disaster prevention scale, which with the value of Cronbach α was between 0.62 and 0.73. It has shown that the questions of the second stage with good reliability. There were 31 questions with the degree of difficulty (P) less than 0.4, 55 questions with P between 0.4 and 0.7, and 105 questions with P > 0.7. The analysis result of 16 questions with the degree of identification (D) was less than 0, 89 questions with D between 0 and 0.2, 35 question with D between 0.2 and 0.3, and 51 questions with D above 0.3. It was summarized that half of the questions in this scale is easy and nearly half of them is with good identification in the second scale. Most of the teachers responded the item bank applicable computer system with the characteristics of simple operation, alterable questions, the convenience of carrying, and so on, while interviewing them. They also expressed that this system would be more complete if we could increase explanations, beautify the interface and add referable answers, etc. According to the above suggestions, the item bank applicable computer system has been revised. It is suggested that system can be applied extensively, evermore, to other subjects.
