數字的海洋，透過專題導向學習整合理論與技術以建構海洋工程基礎教育

Abstract

數值分析為利用數值近似演算法來求解數學問題的科學，它雖然並非傳統基礎工程科目，也不在國內國家技師及相關公務人員考試科目內，但其重要性已是現今工程師無法忽視的一門學科。工程師必需針對電腦模式跑出來的數值結果了解其限制性及正確性，才能對其負責之工程專案做出合理的判斷與結論，以保障人民的生命財產與安全。但由於對相關課程關聯性缺乏理解以及知識技術轉化困難，許多學生在學習過程中往往無法掌握並於失去學習興趣。本計畫嘗試利用專題導向學習 (Project-Based Learning)整合鷹架理論 (Instructional Scaffolding)來降低學生認知負荷並協助學生一步一步建構數值分析方法於海洋工程應用上的基礎理解，同時強化海洋工程基礎教育。最後擬以自我效能量表以及學習與讀書策略量表作為後續相關成果之分析與討論。 Numerical analysis is the science of solving mathematical problems using numerical approximation algorithms. Although it is not a traditional primary engineering subject and is not included in the national examination, its importance has been a subject that engineers nowadays cannot ignore. Engineers need to understand the limitations and correctness of the numerical results generated by computer models to make reasonable judgments and conclusions on the engineering projects they are responsible for to protect people's lives, properties, and safety. However, due to the lack of understanding of the relevance of related courses and the difficulty in transforming knowledge and skills, many students often fail to grasp and lose interest in the learning process. This project attempts to use project-based learning with the integration of instructional scaffolding to reduce students' cognitive load and help them step by step to construct a basic understanding of the application of numerical analysis methods in ocean engineering, and at the same time, to strengthen the primary education of ocean engineering. Finally, the self-efficacy scale and the learning and study strategies inventory will be used to analyze and discuss subsequent related results.
