現今國小六年級的學童，已慢慢步入青春期，值此面臨生理和心理重大轉變的關鍵時刻，如何以正確的認知和健康的心態悅納自己，化解對異性的揣測與謬思，兩性學會互相尊重、自我保護，是現階段教育必須認真對待的課題。健康教育課程適時提供孩童便利的學習管道，然而教科書的內容有限，學童對於自己身體內經常聽到卻無法親眼目睹的種種器官似懂非懂、充滿好奇，覺得既熟悉又陌生，故本研究以自編教材實施「認識我的身體」主題教學活動，研究對象為國小六年級學生，以異於平面掛圖教具的3D立體人體模型瀏覽器進行資訊科技融入教學，探討「應用ZYGOTE BODY對國小六年級健康教育課程學習成效之研究」。
The purpose of this study aims at integrating the 3D technology “ZYGOTE BODY” into Health Education and assessing its effectiveness. The subject of the health lessons are for sixth graders who are gradually reaching puberty. When facing the key moment of both physical and mental changes, students need to learn some crucial lessons about themselves, such as how to correctly recognize and accept their own bodies in a sound mind, understanding how the opposite sex think, mutual respect between two sexes, and self-protection. Health Education provides an easy access to the above-mentioned knowledge. Nevertheless, with the limited contents of the textbook, students hardly have the chance to see the internal organs they have often heard of. They are curious about these organs which sound familiar but yet are actually strange to them.Thus, in this theme-based instruction called “Get to Know My Body Better”, a self-compiled teaching material is adopted. Different from applying the conventional flat posters as teaching aids, the study employs browsers of 3-dimensional models of human bodies in Health Education for six graders.
The result of the study shows that applying ZYGOTE BODY in class helps to enhance their motivation to learn compared with using conventional posters. Besides, students’ learning effect has elevated as well. However, Health Education is often considered to be a minor subject and can be easily under-estimated because of the emphasis of academic subjects and the indifference from the school authorities. To sum up, being healthy is one of the fundamental human rights which people shouldn’t be deprived of. It is essential to strive for conducting a normal and effective instruction in Health Education.
