利用桌遊學中文,可以讓學生在輕鬆無壓力的環境下,增進中文寫作能力.
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of educational board games and the creative thinking spiral teaching strategy (CTSTS) on the learning outcomes of beginner-level Chinese language learners. Two dimensions were measured: learning outcome and writing ability. A total of 82 learners from one university in Taiwan participated in this study. Participants were non-randomly selected using convenience sampling. The participants were divided into the control group (40 participants) and experimental group (42 participants). In the control group, the teacher used the board game “Conveyance GO” as a teaching tool; in the experimental group, both Conveyance GO and CTSTS were used to teach the Chinese language. The results indicate no significant difference in learning outcomes between the groups. However, the experimental group exhibited a significantly larger improvement in writing abilities than did the control group, especially in terms of cohesion, coherence, and grammatical accuracy.

| 研究目的 | To investigate the effects of educational board games and the Creative Thinking Spiral Teaching Strategy (CTSTS) on the learning outcomes and writing ability of beginner-level Chinese language learners. | 探討教育桌遊與創意思維螺旋教學策略（CTSTS）對初級中文學習者學習成效與寫作能力的影響。 |
| 研究問題 | 1. Does integrating CTSTS with board games improve learning outcomes?2. Does the combination enhance writing skills more effectively than board games alone? | 1. 將CTSTS與桌遊結合是否能提升學習成效？2. 這種結合是否比單獨使用桌遊更有效地提升寫作技能？ |
| 研究方法 | - Participants: 82 beginner-level learners divided into control (40) and experimental (42) groups.- Instruments: Learning outcome tests, writing assessments, and semi-structured interviews.- Duration: 3 weeks. | - 參與者：82名初級學習者，分為控制組（40人）與實驗組（42人）。- 工具：學習成果測驗、寫作評估與半結構化訪談。- 時長：3週。 |
| 主要結果 | 1. No significant differences in overall learning outcomes between groups.2. Significant improvement in writing ability, including cohesion, coherence, and grammatical accuracy, in the experimental group. | 1. 各組學習成效整體無顯著差異。2. 實驗組在寫作能力（連貫性、條理性與語法正確性）方面有顯著提升。 |
| 學生回饋 | - Board games promoted communication and confidence in speaking.- CTSTS encouraged deeper reflection and creativity in writing but was initially challenging due to vocabulary unfamiliarity. | - 桌遊促進溝通並提升口語自信。- CTSTS鼓勵更深入的反思與創意寫作，但因詞彙不熟悉最初有些困難。 |
| 研究限制 | - Small sample size and limited focus on writing ability.- Short study duration limited the observation of long-term impacts. | - 樣本量較小且僅聚焦於寫作能力。- 研究時長較短，無法觀察長期影響。 |
| 未來研究方向 | 1. Investigate the effects of CTSTS on listening and reading skills.2. Explore the combination of CTSTS and board games in various language proficiency levels and cultural contexts.3. Conduct longitudinal studies. | 1. 探討CTSTS對聽力與閱讀能力的影響。2. 探索CTSTS與桌遊在不同語言能力水平和文化背景中的結合效果。3. 開展縱向研究。 |
