• 中文摘要： 本研究以實驗方式探討契約學習的利弊得失，及其對於促進自我導向學習的影響。研究係於筆者任教的大學部一年級的課堂中實施。使用的工具為研究者自編的問卷，包含前測與後測，以及學生於學期中撰寫的學習週誌和期末評鑑與契約學習的心得。 因素分析發現，自我導向學習包括三種能力：自我評估、規劃，以及尋求人力資源的能力，證實文獻所言，要促進自我導向學習必須強調上述三種能力。在本課程中，契約學習對學習者產生一種示範教學的效果，有助於促進學習者自我導向能力的發展，尤其可以促進學習者自我評估能力與規劃能力的發展。 需求評估是契約學習成功與否重要步驟；契約學習實施的成效與學習者準備度、學習的主題有密切的關係，並且，班級人數過多與固定學習範疇的取捨，是契約實施的一大挑戰。在契約學習中，學習者最不能理解的是自主性評量的本質，此當係受傳統教育影響所致。 就整體而言，學生對於契約學習的評價是正面的，不過自我導向學習能力愈高者，抱持愈肯定的態度。最後，本研究並針對未來使用契約教學與研究提出一些建議。
• 英文摘要： This study examined the impact of a learning contract upon students' self-directed learning competencies in theauthor's course of Introduction to Education for college freshmen. Students' gains in self-directed learning competencieswere measured by pre- and posttests. The effects of contract learning were also examined by students' course evaluation,weekly journals, and self-refection on their own contract learning at the end of the semester. Factor analysis showed that three significant components of self-directed learning were: students' competenciesfor self-assessing, planning, and finding human resources The use of learning contract in the course demonstrated a mod-el for self-directed learning, and helped to facilitate the development of learners' self-directed learning competencies,particularly on the aspects of self-assessing and planning. Needs assessment was a major step toward the success of contract learning in this course. The effectiveness ofcontract learning had a strong relationship with learners' readiness and the subjects of their learning. The large size of theclass and the fixed scope of learning contents challenged the effects of using contract learning as an instructional strategy.In general, students had a difficulty in understanding the essence of self-assessment, and this was probably due to the in-fluence of traditional educational thoughts. As a whole, students had high value toward contract learning. However, it was also found that students with higherself-directed learning competencies showed the more positive attitudes toward learning contract. Finally, this study alsoprovides suggestions for future use of a learning contract in practice and research.
