歷史與沿革
本系根源於民國42年所成立的工業教育系「工藝教育組」,專責培育我國中學「工藝」課程之師資,配合課程內涵之調整與修訂,在民國61年更名為「工業技術教育組」,並於民國71年正式獨立設系為「工藝教育學系」,為配合學校藝術學院成立,本系隸屬於藝術學院。
民國80年增設碩士班,民國87年增設博士班。隨著社會環境的變遷與課程改革的需求,外加上師資培育多元化的衝擊,在民國83年正式將系名更改為「工業科技教育學系」,專責培育中學「生活科技」課程之師資,民國87年本系改隸屬於當年新成立的科技學院。為符合本系培育科技產業教育訓練人才之目標,本系獲教育部同意,從98學年度起更名為「科技應用與人力資源發展學系」,並簡稱為科技系。
為拓展本系畢業學生之就業機會並開啟本系畢業生至業界就業的契機,本系自民國83年開始,以既有的師資培育為基礎,先後在「大學部」實施課程分組,目前的大學部課程則分為「學習與科技組」及「設計與科技組」,以培養科技產業界所須之人力資源人才。在「碩士班」階段則先後規劃「科技與工程教育」、「人力資源」與「網路學習」等多元之課程內涵,協助學生發展各該領域之專業與研究能力;在「博士班」則設有「科技與工程教育」與「人力資源」兩組課程,培育各該領域之專業「教學」與「研究」之人才。
系所特色與目標
科技系原屬培育中學「生活科技」教師之專門機構,然為因應師培市場之萎縮,科技系於十年前即著手調整課程結構,以培育學生朝向科技產業界發展為目標。目前,科技系的課程本質,是以科技產業為主體,學生藉由各科技產業課程,例如傳播科技業、製造科技業、營建科技業、運輸科技業,來瞭解台灣科技社會的結構與內涵。在上課的型態上,則是提供學生以「設計」及「製作」的方式來進行,藉以深入瞭解科技產業之工作內涵與程序。在此基礎之下,本系再輔以人力資源發展的專業課程,使學生具備「科技產業知識」及「人力資源發展專長」,得以進入科技產業從事企業的教育訓練工作。
設備與學習資源
現有自造大師基地、專題研討室多間、電子實驗室、人力資源研討室多間、電腦實驗室、網路教學實驗室、圖文傳播實驗室、電工實驗室、綜合工廠、電腦繪圖室、數位傳播教學實驗室、媒體設計實驗室等多元教學設施。

Item Providing adequate interactions in online discussion forums using few teaching assistants.�(TOJET, 2011-01-01) Chang, C. K.; Chen, G. D.; su, C. K.�In order to encourage students to participate in online learning forums, prompt responses to their questions are essential. To answer students’ online questions, teaching assistants are assigned to manage discussions and answer questions in online learning forums. To minimize the response time, many teaching assistants may be needed to interact with learners. We investigated the trade-off between the request-response time and the cost of labor for handling the requests since this has become a challenging and important issue for education managers. In this study, a queuing-based model is proposed to construct the relationship between response time and the human resource requirement in a learning forum. In addition, an experiment using students in a Computer Science Introduction course at a vocational high school was conducted to verify the model and determine the average number of assistants required so that the students’ questions can be answered within an acceptable time interval, providing valuable information for managing online discussion forums for educational purposes. Finally, the participants’ perceptions were investigated using a questionnaire revised from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in order to identify whether feelings of the perception-of-usefulness and the perception-of-satisfaction during the response wait time showed significant differences when the number of teaching assistants was reduced. The results revealed no significant difference in learners’ perceptions after reducing the number of teaching assistants. It confirms that using the model to predict the umber of required teaching assistants is highly reliable, and effective in reducing labor costs without jeopardizing student satisfaction.Item Effects of Video Caption Modes on English Listening Comprehension and Vocabulary Acquisition Using Handheld Devices.�(International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2013-01-01) Hsu, C. K.; Hwang, G. J.; Chang, Y. T.; Chang, C. K.This study investigates the effects of different display modes of video captions on mobile devices, including non-caption, full-caption, and target-word modes, on the nglish comprehension and vocabulary acquisition of fifth graders. During the one-month experiment, the status of the students' English listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition was evaluated on a weekly basis. From the experimental results, it was found that the learning achievement of the English target-word group was as good as that of the full-caption group in terms of vocabulary acquisition, while both groups outperformed the non-caption group. When the students’ learning preferences were taken into consideration, the visual style students in both the English target-word group and the full-caption group showed significantly better learning effectiveness in terms of vocabulary acquisition than those in the control group. Furthermore, in terms of listening comprehension, the students in all three groups made remarkable progress.Item Effects on learners' performance of using selected and open network resources in a problem-based learning activity.(British Educational Research Association, 2012-01-01) Hsu, C. K.; Hwang, G. J.; Chuang, C. W.; Chang, C. K.Item Development of a reading material recommendation system based on a knowledge engineering approach.�(ELSEVIER, 2010-08-01) Hsu, C. K.; Hwang, G. J.; Chang, C. K.In a language curriculum, the training of reading ability is one of the most important aspects. Previous studies have shown the importance of assigning proper articles to individual students for training their reading ability; nevertheless, previous experience has also shown the challenges of this issue owing to the complexity of personal factors as well as the diverse properties of the candidate articles to be taken into consideration. This study proposes a knowledge engineering approach for developing reading material recommendation systems by eliciting domain knowledge from multiple experts. Experimental results on 29 senior high school students show that the developed system is able to provide expert-like recommendations to the students by taking preferences and knowledge levels of individual students as well as categories and traits of articles into consideration.Item A personalized recommendation-based mobile learning approach to improving the reading performance of EFL students.�(ELSEVIER, 2013-04-01) Hsu, C. K.; Hwang, G. J.; Chang, C. K.In this paper, a personalized recommendation-based mobile language learning approach is proposed. A mobile learning system has been developed based on the approach by providing a reading material recommendation mechanism for guiding EFL (English as Foreign Language) students to read articles that match their preferences and knowledge levels, and a reading annotation module that enables students to take notes of English vocabulary translations for the reading content in individual or shared annotation mode. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an experiment was conducted on a senior high school English course by assigning three classes of students to two experimental groups and a control group. One experimental group learned with the recommendation system with the individual annotation function, the other experimental group learned with the recommendation system with the shared annotation function, while the students in the control group learned with the individual annotation function, but without the recommendation system. The experimental results show that both experimental groups outperformed the control group, but there was no difference in learning outcome between the two experimental groups in terms of learning achievements.Item A Mobile-assisted Synchronously Collaborative Translation-Annotation System for English as a foreign language(EFL) Reading Comprehension.(Routledge, 2011-03-22) Chang, C. K.; su, C. KThis research introduced mobile devices into an intensive reading course and allowed functions that are usually found only in the language laboratory to be easily and flexibly utilized in the general classroom. To enhance and improve the reading comprehension of English as a foreign language (EFL) readers, a computer-assisted-language-learning (CALL) system for use on PDAs, integrating an instant translation mode, an instant translation annotation mode, and an instant multi-users shared translation annotation function was developed to support a synchronously intensive reading course in the normal classroom. Experiments were conducted to analyze the usage of the system, including the attitude and satisfaction of users. Moreover, the study determined the optimum number of users in each group for the system to work most efficiently, and for students to improve their reading comprehension. Experimental results indicated that those students who were grouped into twos, threes, and fours had significantly higher levels of comprehension than individual students, but those grouped into fives did not. Overall, on average around 70% of the students agreed that the system was useful, 75% of the students agreed that the system was easy to use, and 66% of the students perceived satisfaction with the system. The user intentions were also further analyzed in light of a path analysis method.
